| SISTER MIDNIGHT |
Like the three founders, Sister Midnight was named after a David Bowie song (in this
case written with Carlos Alomar). Unlike them she was firmly gothic and was rarely seen
not dressed in black. She was part of the American force that encouraged the
post-punk and gothic band Sex Gang Children to get back together in 1991.
If anyone knows how to contact Midnight, they are invited to let her know about us or to
let us know about her (see our email address on our home page).

| Timothy Leary |
Dr. Leary popularized the catchphrases "Think for yourself and question authority" and
"Turn on, tune in, drop out." A psychologist and writer, he experimented with LSD with
no "bad trips" and was looking to use it therapeutically. Instead, he was fired from
Harvard, arrested and convicted based on evidence that was apparently planted by the
authorities. He coined "Reality Tunnel" in tune with the DIscordian concept of choosing
your own perspective.

| It's unfortunately unknown how many chapters of the Ek-sen-triks Cluborguild were formed. While this one called itself the 5th, it was likely Earth's second chapter. |
