This is the organization's logo.
realityharmonics:
They were rumored to operate out of this shadowy headquarters.
realityharmonics:
...though there were reports of members originating from... elsewhere.
realityharmonics:
Funding was never a problem for the organization.
realityharmonics:
But security around the compound was very tight.
realityharmonics:
It was a simpler, more analog time.
realityharmonics:
And while the group would later upgrade to powerful, state-of-the-art computers...
realityharmonics:
...its core activities remained largely inexplicable.
realityharmonics:
Once the Helium Power Bong royalties started rolling in...
realityharmonics:
...life was good.
realityharmonics:
For the most part.
realityharmonics:
At one point Larry built a reed boat. No one was sure why.
realityharmonics:
But the answer soon became clear. It sparked a whole chain of bizarre events...
realityharmonics:
...involving cannibalism and pyrotechnics - always a winning combination.
realityharmonics:
As it happened, Larry's studio was raided by police just then. They found no drugs, but were deeply disturbed by what appeared to be a wooden ammunition box containing plaster casts of six men's noses, each labeled by name.
realityharmonics:
Long story short, it was necessary for the big cannibal scene in the epic 8mm film, Voyage of the Raw. Unfortunately...
realityharmonics:
...There had been some cattle mutilations in the news of late, so the neighbors were a little jumpy. The resulting chain of events made the front page the next day.
realityharmonics:
The extra police attention made it that much more difficult to shoot the next scene, in which the cannibals are panicked by an incredible sight...
realityharmonics:
Big juju in the sky overhead...
realityharmonics:
...an alien saucer, which in turn zaps...
realityharmonics:
...the earth with its powerful mojo ray...
realityharmonics:
...and sets off a volcano...
realityharmonics:
...which explodes in a fiery eruption.
realityharmonics:
You can actually see La... uh, an unidentified pyrotechnician running for his life just before the blast.
realityharmonics:
No matter; we can fix it in post.
realityharmonics:
Naturally, there was a band.
realityharmonics:
It played regular gigs at a schizophrenic mix of hippie watering holes, small town Elks Clubs, and corporate fern bars.
realityharmonics:
The band put a kinder public face on the organization...
realityharmonics:
...while allowing the more sordid underbelly to fester and thrive.
realityharmonics:
Dear Mom and Dad: Hitchhiking is sooo much fun! I met these really cool guys in Oregon...
