Guys,

I just booked the Voodoo Lounge for the night of Dec 20, 2012. I've hired Christopher Cross to play. Who wants in?

iirc, December 21st 2012 is the end of a cycle in the long count Mayan calendar which doesn't directly translate into an apocalypse but more of a transition or major change in the world. The Mayans were amazing at predicting celestial events centuries or millenia in advance but is still not something to get worked up about.

yeah it's about a 4 century cycle. so assuming the world didn't end in 1604 or whenever the last one was, i think we are relatively ok

The cycle is 14x20x20x18x20 = 2016000 days ~ 5520 years, so the calander goes back to (almost?) prehistoric times.

Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbraath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We [the archaeological community] have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.[12]

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

I don't believe that, but Riley Martin says that something is going to happen in 2012 - environmental catastrophes and things of that nature. So you better get your symbol, which is your ticket to ride so to speak, so the Biovians will rescue your ass from this planet and take you to the great mothership, you understand. Sounds reasonable to me.

[mother_brain]

Yeah
2012=the end.

how you like to be some 90 year old bastard that dies of a heart attack or something on the 20th and doesn't get to see the fireworks.

This is fact. O-Qua Tangin Wann is coming back to save all of the believers who have symbols to board the mothership which is hidden behind Saturn. Uh, yeah man, a catastrophe is coming and things of this nature.

All of the people who tell you otherwise are simply disguised Targzissians who are obviously reptilian.

I had an idea to start selling end of the world countdown clocks and party items in 2011 and make some serious bucks. Then I realized I wouldn't get to spend any of the money I made because the world would end.
