Really Big Sign Hard to miss.  

 

 

 

A casual dinner time gathering in a "Denny's like" environment. 

Club Attire Encouraged but not Required

GLBT, Fashion Models, Cosplayers  Goths, DGNers, Ex DGNers Re-Goths, Goths for a day, Horror Movie and Sci Fi (especially SW, ST, BSG and GoT ofc fans.) MTG players. Ingressers.

If you don't like hugs this is the wrong place.

The spiritually inclined, Science & History buffs. General weirdos.

Totally normal open-minded people. 

All welcome. 

Like all DGN events, this is NOT particularly kid friendly*. 



Hope to see you there! Please invite any and all you think might be REMOTELY  interested!

Bring a good attitude! Please help Invite! If you want a card ask!  If you really want one ask here in this topic. 

 

*like DGN itself, this is not "kid friendly". You can bring them but No F-Bombs will be held back.  No sexual innuendos (or straight up sex talk) will be spared.  If you can't get a sitter and your kids are not SUPER well behaved leave them in a kennel at home with food & water. 

 

This is NOT the place to post about how you're going somewhere else, or doing something else or intentionally not coming or some other BS.  Thanks. 

 

 

That being said, Please help us get the word out!

 

 

 Looking forward to seeing you!

 

 

 

If you would like one of our weekly "The Gathering" cards (Some Examples). Ask in person at The Red Apple <--- key step. 

 

*If you really want to make sure you get one. Just ask here (not in the FB page, that will be futile) and make sure you show up before me.   Some time after I walk in the door and whoever has asked for a card (here) has priority. **

 

 

 

Cards Fine Print

**If for some reason there are not enough cards to go around  (There are typically only 7)

1.  Ask at the gathering for a card (first come first serve, with the below exceptions)

2. If your name is not in this topic I'll hold off until someone who does have their name IS in this topic asks for a card. 

3. Asking in this topic means you have priority over someone who has not, everyone that asks here (should) get one before someone who has not.

4. I'll hold one for Permanent Benefactors until it's clear they aren't coming if they've asked here.  (If you are unsure what this is don't worry about it or have a look here)

5.  If you've asked here, just ask at the gathering and you should get a card with no problem. 

6.  The order in which you ask here is vaguely "sooner you ask the higher priority" but is very hard to keep track of.  If you wait until less than 24 hours before the event you risk not getting a card.

I make one for everyone that asks here. +2 extra typically but not always the extras vary.

No one owns (except Permanent Benefactors) a particular card. Hopefully if you slacked off or there is a screw up you can just trade for a particular card if you end up not getting it the one you wanted.'

 

Corporate summary:  Take the whole 2 minutes and ask. If it's not worth two minutes, you don't really want one.

 

Hopefully none of the above will be necessary as everyone that wants a card IS GOING TO SAY THEY WANT A CARD HERE RIGHT?  lol

 

 

 

 

Hopefully none of the above will be super necessary and there will never be any drama over the theoretically "for fun" cards.  (there never has been)      But please request a card HERE if you want one.

I would love to see everyone, however I'm in Wyandotte right now and do not have transportation at this time. If anyone happens to be around this way tomorrow evening and wouldn't mind picking me up I could come if not maybe some other time.

• The white symbols at the bottom right say 'house spiral' (carefully translated as I could.)
• The triangle is a highly stylized triple spiral (Triskelion) an adopted symbol of house spiral since forever, sometimes associated with the spirit of a wolf pack, our group spirit animal. (This is heavily associated with the Celts, but the spirals original meanings if any, are pre-date history as we know it.  Like so they many things.  They mean what we choose them to mean. (Could spend a lifetime researching spirals)
• It also looks like a triple pointed star of the words of House Spiral (another house spiral adopted symbol) I mean the points to stand for starting from the bottom left, Earth (Truth), Water (Kindness), top point - Fire (Courage).
• All Ideas to live by. Courage being placed slightly above the others but only there honorably if supported by truth and kindness. Not always easy to put into practice.
• The crossed ceremonial daqtag knives symbolizing both honor and death challenges. (Life is a struggle suck it up.)
• The tribal house spiral triskelion also just looks cool and reminded me of Klingons.
• The skull translates as 'To Be or Not to Be' from Hamlet. Google that, it doesn't get much gothy black darker than what he's contemplating in that stanza. Thus the bewildered spiral crazy eyes seemed appropriate.
• Interestingly the language has no 'to be' so the spirit of the translation is something like Survive or Do not Survive.
• Hrmm. That's a pretty good covers all the basic overlapping philosophical ideas of what we are trying to do with  HouseSpiral.com  and  Patreon.com/HouseSpiral <-- monthly house spiral cards incoming and membership cards.
