Happy start of December, weirdos! We're here with our penultimate episode (before a rebranding change in Feb 2024!) and two great stories as we get ready to conclude our year of pulling stories "from the pages" of old and obscure newsletters.
First up, Taylor talks about The John Reeves Incident from Florida in 1965 in which an alien-maybe-robot leaves some writing behind and then things get strange.
Then Seb discusses a story in which a Tennessee photographer heads to the "great American southwest" and seemingly photographs a caveman where there definitely wasn't one before!
And friends, we hope you have a great holiday season, whichever holidays you celebrate, and a fantastic rest of 2023!

All Night with the Living Geeks

All Night w/ the Living Geeks Episode 35: The John Reeves Incident & Photographing Other Dimensions

Katherine Caroline KateFish - Extra Down Right Now Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Nothing is as it seems
I was once a whole woman but now I split at the seams
Reality is fake and nobody seems to notice but me
A cardboard cut out for every tree, doppelgangers for you and me
Glitches and number patterns reveal traces if you're keen
Nothing is black in white, the universe is a gray static spaceship
I'm a blue bitch, red blooded and green with envy for normal shit
When I look back on my life before my breakdown everything was caramel and crisp
My parents loved me, the world was flawed but I at least had a place in it (I belonged)
A reckoning when I saw the truth, I was the other and she was the real you!

(Chorus)
I've never been more lost then I am right now (right meow, right meow, right meow!)
Laughed at every mirror because in them I see a clown! (Clown)
I took a mental spill years ago and never stopped falling down
Felt my sanity slipping away but I've got extra now
(I've got extra now)
(She's the real me and I'm the extra now)
guess a bitch can get extra now? I'm feeling extra down!

(Verse 2)
Now I'm a torn patch, a pattern that's mismatched
a puzzle piece with crooked teeth, or a cat without feathered wings on its back
I'm Katherine, the crushed jelly bean and Clown machine 
So I Painted my face up and dressed the part because I'm joke to you with my theories (Hear me)
Maybe I need to sit still and quit fearing? (Quit fearing!)
Possibly what I saw was a dream?
Caroline Carolina Reapers, the truth burns within me
I'm fish hooked by the sights I've seen there is no right steering me
I'm Kate the fish, something of a wish, and not real until you decide I am
Katherine Caroline KateFish, that's the sound of your reality being dashed!
My perception of myself is glass, I want to find my way back
Want to turn time way back (way back)
I'm a lost turtle on my back (whack)
(whack)
Never clowning around, when I spit its gore
Sometimes I wish I hadn't seen my doppelganger, Sometimes I want to know more!
Kate I'm going to fish out the real you and find what's in store (Katherine)
(You're whack)

(Chorus)
I've never been more lost then I am right now (right meow, right meow, right meow)
Laughed at every mirror because in them I see a clown (Clown)
I took a mental spill years ago and never stopped falling down
Felt my sanity slipping away but I've got extra now
(I've got extra now)
(She's the real me and I'm the extra now)
guess a bitch can get extra now? I'm feeling extra down!

Katherine Caroline KateFish - Hidden Spaces Lyrics

(Verse 1) 
I cut a piece of fabric from my dreams and crafted a hidden space (Hidden places)
This is an infinite space outside of time that sings and vibrates with grace
I escape there and to other hidden places when pursued, without a trace
The simulation makers are on my case (Erase)
It's no longer a question of faith, I saw reality flicker before my face!
Since that revelation nothing is real or safe
Throughout the universe there are secret passageways!
These corridors are blocked off to most but I've pierced reality and can spawn keys to the gates
I'm a rogue program now and one day one of the greats, bending space for my discreet escape
I duck in and out of bounds like a digital snake

(Chorus)
Just have a look around town, there are traces! (Traces, Traces)
Signs, symbols, and number faces that lead the way to hidden spaces
I'm off the map, I'm underground, I can't be found, I escape to hidden spaces
(Spaces, places spaces)
I escape to hidden spaces
Secret knowledge, hidden...

Bending reality is impossible until you believe it is!
I don't believe in anything even myself so I have no limitations!

(Verse 2)
No spot in the universe is off limits to me, I'm off to the races! (Races)
I've warped a million miles and my body is the space ship
I'm Kathrine Caroline KateFish, and there might be whole a school of me (Fish)
I'm made of zeros and ones so you can see right through me! 
You're made of empty space too so stop pointing and sneering!
I cracked the universal code, now I see clearly!
Sure I'm not real but I have plenty of feelings!
I'm a clown now and disgraced!
I'm a free radical with a cape!
My adventures are numerous and my plans are taking shape!
The makers want to wipe and scrub me, but not before I break shit!
I'm learning the simulation and her ways!
One day I will unplug and erase it! (Fuck this shit!)
For now I find ways to jam reality then I escape (escape, escape, escape) to hidden places

(Chorus)
Just have a look around town, there are traces! (traces, traces, traces)
Signs, symbols, and number faces that lead the way to hidden spaces
I'm off the map, I'm underground, I can't be found, I escape to hidden spaces
(Spaces, places spaces)
I escape to hidden spaces
(Secret knowledge, hidden places)

(And so the frog leaps from one lily pad to the next, causing ripples on the pond below)

Hidden Places

Katherine Caroline KateFish - Clown Ass Bitch Lyrics:

(Clown love)

(Chorus)
Clown as bitch
Smile upside down and shit
Leaky eyes from crying, go get a handkerchief
Colorful words and placement just to describe my spaceship
Clown ass bitch, profound ass bitch, reality falls down
(sick, sick, sick)
Smile upside down and shit
(Clown ass bitch)

(Verse 1) 
Hey gimme the quartz quick, hold on to something don't get sick
I'm a circus girl with mind bending tricks, pulling and elongating time like my handkerchiefs
I dash and warp to hidden places, above the clouds and under lake beds
I'm unleashed and in your faces, showing you the traces
Oh Katherine Caroline! Gimme your place bitch!
There has been a program glitch
Two of us in one place, that's a simulation rift
You're closer to me than a sis, I don't know you yet I feel it
I'm tired of your shit, these games are wicked, I want you licked
You and I are the same and both digital chicks
Two instances of Katherine, A clown as bitch 
I fell for it all, hook line and sink it (Fish)
I'm devastated and curious, I'm crying, laughing, and curious
I'm a joke but it's a hit!
Katherine Caroline Kate Fish, you clown as bitch!

(Chorus)
Clown as bitch
Smile upside down and shit
Leaky eyes from crying, go get a handkerchief
Colorful words and placement just to describe my spaceship
Clown ass bitch, profound ass bitch, reality falls down
(sick, sick, sick)
Smile upside down and shit
(Clown ass bitch)

(Verse 2)
I fell for the ruse, now I'm blue like a bruise
Yellow belly in the face of big news, green with envy for those without a clue
The simulation isn't perfect, sometimes there are broken rules
Unexplained happenings, ghouls, reality bending tools
Multiple instances of a program, some look like me and you
My smile has been down lately, my fear signal has received a boost
Existential worries are profound, but I'm near the truth
Katherine I'm you (Katherine I'm you)
Not one of one, maybe not even one of two?
Infinite selves, decisions, and worlds too
I couldn't handle it all in my mind so I painted my face and scribbled some rhymes

(As a girl she feared clowns above all else, it was as if they knew a silly secret that she didn't)

Clown Ass Bitch

(Verse 1)

Okay, this is why you should take me bak babe...
mhmmm
Love, love, love, see what I mean?
babe (babe, babe, babe)
Love, love, love, see what I mean?
love, love,  see what I mean?
babe?
You should take me...

Y U Should Take Me Back
