Summary

Every off-week, JF and Phil record a bonus episode for Patreon supporters. The conversations on that stream are shorter, less formal, and more improvisitory than those of the flagship show. To give the wider public a glimpse of this hidden dimension of the WS universe, we decided to make this week's "audio extra" available to everyone. As it happens, this episode also contains an important announcement concerning next week's event at Illuminated Brew Works in Chicago: tickets must be purchased via Eventbrite using the link below. No tickets can be sold at the door. Click here to purchase tickets to the Weird Studies beer launch at Illuminated Brew Works in Chicago on May 23.

0:00.0	Spectre Vision Radio.
0:05.3	Hi, this is Phil.
0:07.6	This is an off week for the free flagship show, which means we're posting an extra show and an essay over in our Patreon, like we do in every off week.
0:17.3	Every now and then, J.F. and I like to post a particularly good Patreon extra in the flagship feed,
0:22.7	so those of you who might be on the fence about signing up for our Patreon can hear for yourselves
0:27.7	just how hard we're partying over behind the paywall. And this is just such an episode.
0:33.8	It's an extended riff on the figure of the spiral versus the closed circle that our known friend, author of Meditations on the Tarot, develops in his chapter on the Star, which was the topic of our most recent episode.
0:47.9	You can think of this as an extended footnote to that episode, or perhaps as a particularly spirited side quest in the epic
0:56.1	fantasy video game known as Weird Studies. Putting out an off-week episode is also a way of telling
1:03.6	you one last time about the first ever live Weird Studies event on Monday, May 23rd,
1:10.0	at Illuminated Brew Works in Chicago.
1:12.8	We're celebrating the launch of Weird Studies Black IPA, and I, for one, plan on drinking a lot of it.
1:20.0	Doors open at 7 p.m. and after a certain amount of sinister modular synth improvisation,
1:26.0	you will be able to hear myself, Meredith, and J.F., the latter via
1:30.6	Zoom, talking about Strange Brews and possibly the movie Strange Brew, if I can convince J.F. and
1:37.6	Meredith to watch it. It is a very silly movie, I admit. But the filmmakers used some of the same
1:43.8	exterior locations as John Carpenter's
1:46.2	in the mouth of madness, and that's got to count for something. Anyway, if you want to come,
1:52.4	and you do, buy your tickets now at Eventbrite. Look for the link in the show notes to this episode.
1:59.6	Owing to some pedophogging Illinois state law,
2:02.7	IBW can't sell tickets at the door, so you'll have to buy them online. Tickets are $12 or 20 for a
2:09.5	ticket plus a dope-ass poster for this event. Okay, that's all for now. Enjoy the extra,
	...
