The post on our Bacchic Martyrs is far from complete. However, I spent the whole night compiling it and then about a half hour ago through a careless keystroke ended up deleting the whole thing. There was a frantic scramble to retrieve an earlier draft, several obnoxious complications, deleting a bunch of shit since the text somehow duplicated itself and now I’m caput. This list will have to suffice for the time being. At some later point I’ll come back and add to it – when I’m feeling not nearly so homicidal.
Anyway, it should give folks something good to read during tomorrow’s festival in between offerings, libations, necromancy, consumption of strange substances, mortifications and bloodlettings or whatever your plans for the day are. I am now going to stumble off to bed since I have a full day of check-in chats with aspiring boukoloi ahead of me.
