• Freddie Mercury’s Diet | Skinny Jeans | CA Dancing Raisins
    Nov 13 2024

    In rabbitHOLE's seventh episode, the BIT CREW heads down some interesting holes, including:

    • Freddie Mercury + Queen
    • Skinny Jeans
    • Dancing Raisins Recitals

    Katya explains how she grew up in a pop culture void and only recently educated herself on the band Queen and its frontman. The troupe has a lively discussion on who should and should NOT wear skinny jeans. (I was today years old when I learned that women's pockets are smaller than men's pockets.) Amber relives a minor childhood trauma of performing in a dance recital at a county fair dressed as a raisin - except the homemade costumes didn't really look like raisins - and being stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel.

    So funny!

    APOLOGIES: Madonna, Michael Jackson, NASA, History Teachers, Queen Elizabeth II, the California Dancing Raisins, Bank Robbers, Carnies, Carberators (aka corroborators), Buckingham Palace, the poop emoji, and anyone with extremely long testicles.

    Sorry, not sorry: Skinny Jeans and Serial Killers

    As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures.

    This is a BONUS Spooky Season episode of rabbitHOLE.

    It's only fitting to start with a cast member's haunting story*. Of course, in proper rabbitHOLE form, the BIT CREW A-Zs it to dead animal furniture.

    In episode six, you'll hear about hauntings, signs from beyond the grave, random appearances in rap videos, ironic award show categories, daytime dance clubs, over-caffeinated dates, New Ikea, talking furniture, and approval seeking.

    TLDR Version: Always confirm muffin ingredients. IYKYK

    BONUS NOTE!
    About Aleister Crowley - by Sabrina Kim Banes

    Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, writer, and mountaineer who lived from 1875 to 1947. He led the international magical society Ordo Templi Orientis, and his grasp of occult knowledge was second to none. He created his own religion, Thelema, whose teachings are contained in The Book Of the Law — and yes, the Gnostic Mass really does involve consuming trace amounts of bodily fluids.

    Crowley's Tarot deck, the Thoth deck, which he co-created with Lady Frieda Harris, is known to this day as one of the most powerful and beautiful in existence.

    Nowadays, people remember Crowley as a sort of early 20th-century edgelord who wrote inflammatory poetry and encouraged people to do drugs and have lots of sex. Some say he drove all his partners mad. But his greatest esoteric teaching, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law," continues to endure within occult circles.

    If you want to read more about him you should check out Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kaczynski. Not a reader? You can learn a little about some of the wild hijinks of the OTO's Agape Lodge (and the life of Jack Parsons) from the television series Strange Angel.

    All errors included here are the sole responsibility of Sabrina Kim Banes! Thanks for reading, and happy spooky season!

  • Getting Ducked | European Vacation | Yard Sale-ing
    Aug 13 2024

    In rabbitHOLE's third episode, the BIT CREW reminisces about their first duck, the forced vacation policy in Scandinavian countries (we admit it, we're envious), no one noticing when you leave work to take classes, and selling everything you own after experiencing minimalist culture (even the clothes on your child's back). This episode was quite an educational trip… we hope you remember your first duck!
