Time Travel BBQ
Okay, so I’m having a little time travel experiment in a few months. I’m starting to wonder why I haven’t worked on promoting this more. The real answer to the question is simple, since Arch City Marketing has taken off, I’ve had less time to mess with Web sites that don’t pay me any money. However, there is another reason.
Due to the nature of the time travel BBQ, I don’t have to do ANYTHING until the last possible moment before June 7, 2008 at 9:10:11 PM. Why? Because anything that is done up until that point will have lasted through the future just as much as anything done previously. Still with me? In the context of time travel BBQ, I’ve managed to create the perfect excuse for slacking off and procrastinating. If I make a titanium invitation now, it won’t be any more effective than if I made one at the last possible second. Yeah, I could have spread the word better on the web and gotten more steam building. I could have also acted on my idea of getting a public space to throw the party and getting some sponsorships and what not, but maybe that will be next year.
Oh, I didn’t tell you my dearest reader?
Time Travel BBQ will become an annual event. I’ve always wanted a holiday in my honor, but since I’m a relative nobody there isn’t any chance I’m going to get a federal holiday in my namesake where people get off work and shit. No, my best bet at this time is to make annual the time travel BBQ.
While I’m thinking of what date to make the BBQ, ponder this image I got from my good friends at Wikipedia. To hell with context, just stare at it and see if your head explodes at the awesomeness. Coolest. Flowchart. Ever.

There’s a flaw at wormholeA at 2:00. It says it’s in conjunction with wormholeB at 2:30, yet it meets it’s self again at the same time with wormholeA. (Z) If, you’re a time traveler and choose to jump in either wormhole, you’ll end up at the same place everytime but only 30 minutes late. Consider 3:00 (Y). At that ‘point’ you are 30 minutes (if we are talking minutes) ahead of yourself and at the same time. (X) is the same way. On wormholeA, you’ll be at wormholeB at the same time but only earlier, depending on your point of observation and the wormhole you jumped in.
Go figure.
As for your BBQ, I vote you have one on the first Saturday of every June for the next 50 years. I’d also caution you to regard anyone that shows up with aluminum foil hats as suspicious.
