Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

i've been trying to decide what route to take while driving out west this spring/summer...i know i want to go through the US, but have been toying with various themes...i think i've decided upon visiting the heartland of christian fundamentalism for a couple days on my way...first-hand view of the wingnuts, and all

i can google, but haven't uncovered any info gems yet...does anyone know of any 'can't miss' sites on the fundamentalist scenic tour? montana and idaho seem pretty madatory...maybe north dakota, too, but am looking o narrow things down a bit, if anyone can help...thanks

Great memories of hippie days ...seventies hiking through U.S. ...Bonners Ferry Idaho great commune up in the mountains....Big sky country Montana had some of the best shrooms ever..........not always so redneck in the North west...lotsa freaks too... Hell you wanna see rednecks you don't have to go far...check out northern Ontario...

it's the survivalist far-righty don't pay tax types i want to see...the towns where they congregate...i want to see what these towns feel like

any shows artguy? am in T.O. 26-30 December

A freaky-thing to do, Knip! I can't help you with that but can suggest a google on 'blue states/red states'... maybe that would narrow it down a bit for you and your pick of red states... who knows??

If it happens for you, I'd like to read anything you have to say about it.

Dear knip:


Here's a web site for an organization whose far-right "wig-out" stance on many issues is worth exploring. They identify themselves readily in terms of geography, also.

Check the "issues" links at the bottom right-hand corner of their site . . .

You might also like to check on the current activities ( and friends and affiliates ) of one of my favorite politicians, Thad Balkman ( I love that last name), a right-wing theocrat from Norman, Okla:

I'm sure that, at bottom, Thad is a very well-intentioned young man who fled the liberal horrors of Long Beach, California ( his original home) to help the mentally diseased in need of aid . . .

It's just all those OTHER things he espouses . . .


and while you're in that neighborhood, why not trundle a few hundred miles east to Bob Jones University and discuss the forthcoming Rapture with some of their faculty?

Good hunting . . .

Ah yesss... the rapture: the day of levitating christian wingnuts and wailing masses in the lava seas of hell.

See you guys in the pit!
Last one in's a smelly arco-daemon.
