 		A metaphor
Also I suck at mystery novels, whodunits, and skeeball.

Listening to this I had a eureka moment I feel I should have had back in, ya know, March or April. This doesn't really affect the outcome and it's not a "clue" per se, but
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the metaphor I'm seeing is that Eva's parents are symbolic of the left (Blair) and right (Peggy) hemispheres of the brain, perhaps even "left-brain Nonchalance" and "right-brain Nonchalance" if it even makes sense to talk about it in those terms. Eva then could be the synthesis of the two, making her deft in both realms -- as in, she's the one who can walk between worlds, navigate the network of symbols, et cetera, all that, and she's the Queen. Maybe. I dunno.

 		@Jason7au:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Unless Neil the vagrant is not to be trusted, your theory is definitely on track. Neil himself confirms this during his speech to Eva on the Soon Obsolete M2MC tape, when he tells her that she is the child of two separate, unique tribes that have "the gift," making her the Queen of all realms, or something like that. I need to watch it again, but yeah. Awesome stuff.

Or as Jenpop suggested to me: "Two girls, one EPWA."

Is he name-checking us? He's OH FERSHNICKENS HE IS CALLING US OUT.

Also, stamps. Dig it.

Update: 14, if this is about the Dungeons and Dragons game I'm trying to set up with Drybones, you can come too, sheesh. Just ask. But you have to bring Audrey and Kelvin, that's the deal.

 		Ha, you were not foolin' there Jason, he DID Namecheck us. Surprised

Shame really, I really didn't think they were READY for us to do something more, hopefully this monthly meet up will help stir some interest back into everything.

ERGO! I think we need to do something to pick this all back up...

I think a new discussion is in order.

 		We don't need to wait for official word from the EPWA to make anything happen, as you know.

edit: here's a video of the day's festivites:

me @ 1:53 (as well as a few times throughout in the background)

whaaat? how does he call that dropping off the grid? i've been telling everyone i can get my grubbing eye hooks on about the jejune institute and how they need to stay away from it. i know for a fact there are a few people at my school planning not to go this week. i even gave them an EPWA flier. what more shall i do? i'd be putting more stickers out there too but the last LBBoNC i got didn't have primarily microwave harassment stickers like i requested. i guess i gotta do this stamp collecting meet up over at the rincon center.

http://stampsfromelsewhere.com/
elsewhere philatelic society
first monday of every month at 5:30.
so next meet up is therefore may 3rd.
take note that there's a post office there Smile

also i wonder why an EPWA location is in a former jejune institute subsidiary facility? is the foundation defunct or did it move?

 		"into the ether..."
Do you suppose he's talking about how all of you have...crossed over, so to speak?

That's the way I took it.

As far as I know, C14 knows about Elsewhere, but hasn't...been there....

 		i don't think he thinks we've 'crossed over'. he says we're missing in action, possibly lost our way, or even fallen subject to jejune influences. it seems to be a sort of wake-up call for us for this coming spring. i think things are afoot and he want to make sure we're still paying attention.

i can't wait Smile

 		Okay, so this may be a silly question: the podcast says that if you have a Little Box Of Nonchalance, you "may already be a member." I never purchased one of those -- does it come with stamps?

I'd love to come to the meet-up, but would hate to show up stamp-less and be turned away. Thoughts? Am I thinking too literally?
