Today we are going to learn about the Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove is a 2700-acre campground located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's art club known as the Bohemian Club. Uh-oh, sounds dark and mysterious - it is.
In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a two-week encampment of some of the most powerful men in the world. The club's membership includes many artists, particularly musicians, as well as many high-ranking business leaders, government officials (including some US Presidents) and senior media executives. Since the founding of the club, the Bohemian Grove's symbol has been the owl. A forty-foot concrete owl stands at the head of the lake in the Grove and, since 1929,As a measure of the Club's exclusivity, it is reported the waiting list for membership is from 15 to 20 years. Seems to be a strange mix, but if you learn of the Club's creed, you'll understand.
The Grove motto is "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here", which implies that outside concerns and business deals are to be left outside. However, there is evidence of political and business deals having been developed at the Grove. The Grove is particularly famous for a Manhattan Project planning meeting that took place there in September of 1942, which subsequently led to the atomic bomb.
The Grove itself consists of redwood trees over 1,500 years old. It is a spectacular nature preserve, untouched by logging, and containing many elevated walkways. The secret society in Eyes Wide Shut is thought to be a depiction of what potentially goes on at the Bohemian Grove. So, I guess that means it's a bunch of Richie-Rich's frolicking in the woods and having orgies. Nice.
Know what else is nice? Music. Free new, unreleased music from great bands? Here is an early peek at the White Stripes, a single called the "Icky Thump" and a nice listener from Amos Lee called "Colors".

was this a test of some sort? trying to see if we were paying attention to previous posts?

[1] Very good Dale. I was wondering if anybody pays attention at all, so I decided to cut and paste an entire story. I guess I better bring my A-game from now on.
We pay attention alright. We pay attention or people get killed.
This whole blog smells like queefs. Big Tuna Queefs. Bunny jump fast. We hunt buffalo now. Fuck me Reggie!!!
Steve Miller, I like your confidence and shoot from the hip mentality. You just put your name out there like it is no big deal. C$, or should I say, --- ------ (he'll probably censor that), would never put his true identity out there. You are my hero.
Well, Dale, it is actually my anus hole that does the talking for me. I can't shut that brown mouth up. It just spits at me all day, Big Tuna this, queef that, you know the score.
you boyz are nasty. but, plagarized or no, i want to comment on c$'s actual story - why is it that rich white guys have all the fun? secret societies, orgies, money? wtf, folks?
smooches, eddie, smooches
Welly, glad that we could learn about Steve's anus and Dale's ability to sniff plagiarism is above reproach.
Shanny-Fanny, well, I am just pleased as punch that you chimed in - I am quite hopeful that you will be a frequent visitor to the friendly confines of c101.
As for orgies, secret societies and big $, well, c'mon Shanny, crusty old white guys with too much dough have to kick their heels up from time to time too.
