odie:
How did they come up with the name Elan?

Ursus:
I had always heard: "for the love of life"... I would say "Lust For Life," but I don't think they were Iggy Pop fans.

This is what it FEELS like:

A General Meeting is when your whole house gets together,
usually in the dining room
A stage is set
They wait for you
All of your "peers"
With twisted hatred
you stand before them
Then the house arises (1 house only 200 ppl)
And rushes toward you
yelling and spitting on you
Releasing brainwashed phony hatred
After a while (10-20min)
After everyone has "got their feelings off for you" (major spitting in the face uccurs durring this activity)The Director takes over as MC for the show.
He flays you piece by piece. (Emotional Humiation)
The crowd feeds on the sickness
This could last 2-24 or more hours.
Depending on how many houses. (1-5 houses in my time)
How many people are getting a GM. (1-you guess)
How Many Costumes/Signs ect. (There is always a major Learning Experinces Handed out with a General Meeting. Costume for sure with a sighn and you are shotdown (the lowest position and given some outrageous chore too)
