	Cacophony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cacophony (from the Greek word kakophonia - kakos (bad) + phoni (voice, sound)) refers to sound that is harsh and unpleasant-sounding.
		The opposite of cacophony is euphony, meaning musical and pleasant.
		The closely related term dissonance implies a combination of sounds which clash; its antonym, harmony, suggests sounds that fit together well.

	Christophernoxon.com -- Miscellaneous
		Such are the works of the Cacophony Society, a loose group of art pranksters and satirists based in San Francisco and active in Los Angeles, Brooklyn and 20 other cities in the U.S. and Canada.
		Cacophony membership was fireproof insulation against becoming either trendy or unseemingly earnest, the perfect foil in the era of the Big Wink.
		As word spread and the subscription list for Cacophony's newsletter swelled to 750, Al found himself in a position he never imagined --at the center of a network of exhibitionists who were only too happy to funnel their energies into his most cockamamie fantasies.

	The Cacophony Society > Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Society is a loosely-structured network of individuals, banded together -- as our name suggests -- by a common love of cultural noise: belief systems, aesthetics, and ways of living striking a note of discord against prevailing harmonies.
		We assume you're already some sort of bona fide eccentric or you wouldn't be interested in Cacophony at all.
		Sometimes the Zone takes the form of group excursions to society's fringes ~~ quirky museums, desert-rat folk-art environments, the haunts of eccentric collectors, cryonics labs, saucer cults, and public sewers.

		As Grand Instigator of Cacophony's Los Angeles lodge, Reverend Al has distributed cement-filled teddy bears to needy children, served as head curator for the Museum of Mental Decay, and masterminded the fiery destruction of an exacting replica of Disney's "It's a Small World" ride at Burning Man 1999.
		Deposed last April for spreading death-dealing rumors and maintaining an inappropriate relationship to the Russian Orthodox Church, the society saw him off with a proper roasting followed by a proper burning.

	Hundred Santas
		With the gracious permission of San Francisco Cacophony Society member Stuart Mangrum, I reprint his tale of holiday cheer that will warm the cockles of your heart.
		A year before, the Cacophony Society had hosted a cheap-suit Santa event in the week before Christmas, and it had unfolded so magically that I was convinced we could not come close in a second attempt.
		One of them, Santa M___, was patched by cell to the Cacophony phone line, from which he was able to give position reports to last-minute arrivals and stragglers.

		We chortled over the weirdness of it all, affixed the newsletter to the refrigerator door, and promptly became so re-involved in our own concerns that the newsletter was out of date before we noticed it again, under the fresh layers of important info posted in the one spot of communal attention.
		My very first introduction to one of the Society's most charismatic movers and shakers, Sebastian Melmoth, was at the former dwelling of our housemate Lance, whose elegant watercolor portrait of MP graces this month's cover.
		Most of the people who frequented Cacophony were colored with ingenious prospects of amusement, with spectacular notions of entertainment, and the times I spent with them were seldom if ever without laughter.

	Brooklyn Cacophony Society
		This campaign has in fact been so successful that it has attracted the interest of the Brooklyn Cacophony Society, which planned to use the campaign as the basis for one of it's own actions.
		Bill subscribed to the Cacophony listserv -- which, it is important to add, was at that time unmoderated and open to any and all comers -- and called it as he saw it.
		We don't know what goes on with other Cacophony Societies -- there are several of them, located in cities all across the USA -- but this kind of intolerant response to germaine criticism of individual cacophonists seems contrary to the spirit of cacophony.

		Palahniuk describes the society as a ragtag bunch of people with the most ordinary of jobs, who periodically pull the most extraordinary of pranks.
		Of course, the first rule of membership in any secret society is that you don't dish the dirt about it.

		And then that group sort of imploded in the early 80's, due I think to the fact that the Reagan administration had come in and we were all depressed and drinking heavily.
		I mean when we first saw the Burning Man on the beach, the entire group of people there were participating, they were raising the man by pulling on a large pull-rope, dozens of people had worked on the construction.

		Dark Passage was conceived in 1998 with the purpose of perpetuating the spirit of the long-defunct San Francisco Suicide Club.
		In the late 1970s the Suicide Club organized renegade events in infiltrated spaces under the motto of living "each day as if it were the last." When it disbanded, some of its former members created the similarly spirited Cacophony Society, with chapters in Los Angeles, Detroit, Brooklyn and other cities.
		It was at a Brooklyn Cacophony meeting that the main instigators of Dark Passage first connected.

		At first it was just a perceptual curiosity I wanted to experience, and I wanted others to experience: the idea of being handed what appeared to be a fluffy stuffed animal, only to have it go tearing through your relaxed fingers like a lead meteor.
		The Christmas shopping season seemed an ideal time to get them on the shelves of Los Angeles toy stores, so late in November, members of the Los Angeles Cacophony Society gathered in my backyard to gut several dozen plush toys and replace their innards with Portland's finest.
