Tucson by Night, our shared universe World of Darkness game, is having another free-for-all of open play for the exciting and dramatic Hunter: the Vigil! In the World of Darkness, few find the fortitude to stand against the horrors that surround ordinary people on every side - of those that do, fewer still survive to learn about the true terror of their situation. Those that do hold Vigil against the occult monstrosities that plague the world. They might be a tweedy academic digging through ancient tomes looking for the key to a monster's weakness, a rowdy biker who has seen one too many things along the backroads of the world, or even just the person next door who spends an awful lot of time in their wood shop making 'tent stakes'. This will be our sixth and final installment, but you don't have to have attended previous meetups to play! Doug Levering and John Perrine will be our GMs for this open event! Pregenerated characters and an introduction to the system will be provided. If you want to make your own Hunter: the Vigil character for our game, come to Ides of Gaming or a Guild meeting and meet up with Jim Myers or Jason Corley, we'll help you make one. Also, if you are interested in being a GM for either this event or any Tucson by Night shared universe event, send Jason a private message and we'll get you set up! We have a lot of players interested in it and surely there will be some that can fit your schedule. You can also post questions to the Megathread on the Message Board. We will be there until 6 PM. Enjoy!

Come one, come all. This is a time for having fun, sharing the good energy that making music together creates. Nah, ya don't have to be a musician, you don't have to own an instrument (we have plenty to share!!) All you have to do is show up, bring a sense of adventure and an openness to try something new, if you've never tried. This is a really relaxed atmosphere to try your hand at making some good vibrations happen. We start by playing a variety of percussion instruments, even using voice if you feel like doing so, getting ourselves loosened up, altering our normal brain wave patterns and then, while Kim drums for the group, all will get the chance to experience a shamanic-style "journey". Don't know what that is? C'mon down and see. It is an ancient tool used for connecting with your spirit world, your inner wisdom, All That Is. All welcome, novice to seasoned practitioners, men and women both. Hope to see you there! All these sessions are offered for your enjoyment and edification and are offered by Spirit-Guided Donation. You ask within to see what is appropriate for you to offer at any given time.

If you are curious about cleansing and/or colon hydrotherapy, you'll love this class. This class has been created to offer information with you that can assist you in making the proper choices for your intention of cleansing or self-care. Even though it's right before the new year, it's a great time to contemplate the subject now so that you can prepare for your preference of cleansing within the next few months. Oftentimes people want to do a cleanse or try colon hydrotherapy but they get overwhelmed or tend to put it off. Sometimes months or a year later people still haven't embarked on their healing journey with cleansing. Many people I speak with don't know which cleanse to do, nor do they know how to do it. In this class you'll learn the importance of cleansing. Why should we do it? You'll learn about different kinds of cleanses as well as types of products. Then you'll journey inwards to ask for guidance from your higher self to receive direction about what kind of self-care your body requests at this time. I will help you select the proper route of self care and I'll help you properly prepare for the process. I will also discuss the benefits of using juicing, raw foods, and colon hydrotherapy with your cleanse, as well as coach you through the process of colonics and using a home enema. This class will meet from 6:30pm-8:30pm. This is offered as a Spirit Guided Donation. Ask inside how much to give and offer from your heart. Your facilitator is Julianne Montano, MPH, CCH, a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist. Please visit www.latinayoga.com for more information on your facilitator.

ON SALE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH

The most original rock bassist to come along in the '90s was unquestionably Primus' Les Claypool. With his oddball sense of humor and funky playing, Claypool took his varied musical influences and created an invigorating and completely inventive style. The Les Claypool story begins on September 29, 1963, when he was born in Richmond, CA. As a teenager, Claypool met fellow student Kirk Hammett (yes, the Kirk Hammett of Metallica fame), who turned him on to such rock acts as Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Led Zeppelin. It was around this time that Claypool took up the bass, influenced by the likes of Rush's Geddy Lee, Yes' Chris Squire, and Paul McCartney. Although Hammett asked Claypool to join a band he was in, he opted for another group in his high school, progressive metallists Blind Illusion, while broadening his musical horizons by playing in jazz and swing bands. Upon discovering such fusion and funk bass greats as Stanley Clarke and Larry Graham around this time, Claypool began incorporating "slapping" into his playing technique. After graduation, Claypool played in a local cover band, the Tommy Crank Band, which specialized in blues, R&B, funk, and mainstream rock hits. Playing several sets a night almost every night of the week, he sharpened up his improv skills, and after a short while, there wasn't a musical style that he couldn't pull off convincingly. It was while with Tommy Crank that Claypool bought his first Carl Thompson piccolo bass (after seeing Stanley Clarke play one), an instrument that would become his trademark. It was around this time (early to mid-'80s) that Claypool began demoing his own original compositions, which would become the impetus for Primus. Originally called Primate, Primus consisted of guitarist Todd Huth and drummer Jay Lane in addition to Claypool, who also contributed vocals (in a strange sing-speak style, almost akin to a narrator) in addition to bass. Although the trio instantly created an underground following in the San Francisco area, Primus was put on hold when Huth left and Claypool returned to Blind Illusion (whose sound now resembled a thrash metal band), and appeared on the group's lone album, The Sane Asylum, on Combat Records. His return to Blind Illusion didn't last long, but he met a kindred musical spirit in BI's guitarist, Larry LaLonde. By 1989, a new Primus lineup was formed -- Claypool, LaLonde, and new drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander -- and not long afterward, their first album was issued, the live set Suck on This. The album caused such a buzz with college radio that the independent label Caroline signed the group, resulting in the reissue of their debut and their sophomore effort, 1990's Frizzle Fry, while the trio toured with such bands as Jane's Addiction and 24-7 Spyz. 1991 proved to be an even better year for the group, as their major-label debut (for Interscope), Sailing the Seas of Cheese, reached gold status a year after its release, as the trio opened for such varied artists as Public Enemy, Anthrax, U2, Fishbone, and Rush. Primus scored a surprise Top Ten hit with 1993's Pork Soda (and subsequent headlining spot on that year's Lollapalooza festival tour), solidifying the band's status as quirk rock's undisputed kings, as more hit releases followed throughout the decade and new millennium: Tales from the Punchbowl, The Brown Album, Rhinoplasty, and Antipop, as well as the theme song to TV's South Park (Claypool also tried his hand at directing the band's videos). In addition to his Primus duties, Claypool has always had time for side projects -- Sausage (a reunion of the original Primus lineup), Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel (Highball with the Devil), the Frog Brigade (Live Frogs, Purple Onion), and Oysterhead -- as well as guesting on albums by other artists (Buckethead, Jerry Cantrell, Victor, Limp Bizkit, Tom Waits, Rob Wasserman). He released Of Whales and Woe in 2006, the first project solely credited to the man himself

ON SALE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH

It s a rare thing to find a band that can sell out tours, have hit records, grace the cover of magazines and receive international acclaim within just two short years, and even rarer to discover one who can keep their feet firmly on the ground while they skyrocket to success, but The Maine is living proof that it can be done. Fresh from co-headlining the recent sold-out Alternative Press Tour 2009, the Tempe, AZ quintet will be continuing their mission to subtly invade stereos and ones to watch lists across the globe with digital release of the Deluxe Edition of their critically-acclaimed album "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", featuring new single Into Your Arms , along with an exclusive documentary, music videos and previously unreleased bonus tracks on July 14th, 2009.
