SubSite - Past Events

Reports on Great Devivals of yore! For Upcoming Events go HERE

Here, you'll find reports, audio, video and photographic evidence from some of the most dramatic and traumatic devivals in SubGenius history. Skim through these and dream of a devival in your town! Important note: the older, pre-Facebook ones are often much more detailed than newer ones. After the advent of Facebook, on-the-spot devival reporting moved largely there, so in our more recent SubSITE reports we often link to the appropriate Facebook pages. However we still edit and display photos, audio and videos that people send directly to us for permanent archiving here.
