Room 237? Of course, it’s more than fitting, on David Lynch’s birthday (born in Missoula), that I would be here, in Waco, coming to a new and sudden realization of how very very important Waco is to the Masons, who just so happen to be having a shin-dig this weekend. In Waco. And a few, I was told, are even staying in this very hotel.

Is Pluto in play? I’m no astrologer, but the stars say YES! And it’s going to be a banger as Pluto goes all Aquarius. This is some serious shit, people. Pay attention!

I got the ball going by wiping out on a freshly developed sidewalk, middle of the day, while nearly dancing–that’s how I good I was feeling–and I fell HARD, ripping a hole in my pants. After quickly getting up and continuing on like nothing happened, as one does, I saw the sign WE RUN THE WORLD on the side of the building, then I saw the store TWISTED SISTER, which sold shoes. A block later lawyer Daniel Stark was there upon a sign, offering services for those with injuries. No, just my ego, Dan, but thanks.

Did I mention the Masons were in town? And that Waco is kind of a big deal for them? Here’s what I’m talking about:

The Grand Lodge of Texas on Columbus Avenue has long served as the center of operations for masonry in Texas and is one of the largest freemason lodges in the world.

The Grand Lodge of the Republic of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons is the oldest continuously operating organization in Texas, established through the Grand Lodge of Louisiana in 1835 and becoming its own entity in 1837, with Sam Houston presiding over the organizational meeting. It developed into the fifth-largest masonic lodge in the world as well as the headquarters for Texas freemasons. On December 6, 1904, it moved from Houston to Waco. Twentieth-century modernization and rapid economic expansion made Waco’s central location in the state the perfect location for the masons, establishing prime conditions for the growth of the Grand Lodge.

The fraternal organization initially shared a building with the National Guard in Waco but needed more space as the lodge continued to grow. The masons formed a committee, purchased land, and crafted a building design. On December 23, 1947, the Masons held a groundbreaking ceremony. The two million dollar project was completed in 1949, and the One Hundred and Fourteenth Annual Communication was the first event held in the new lodge.

The building, located on Columbus Avenue between Sixth Street and Seventh Street, is grandiose. The Grand Lodge’s granite white stone finish and design are inspired by the description given in the Bible of King Solomon’s Temple—a massive, elegant structure constructed to hold the Arc of the Covenant. The impressive structure attracts many viewers and draws interest to downtown Waco.

Yes, it most certainly does, as the selfie I took in front of it clearly attests. Are you beginning to see how someone using synchronicity as an investigative tool can be a bit WHOA’D by this shit?

Then there’s the ever-present AUSTIN, a city I was warned away from, and a name that keeps popping up, like a street AND a club in Waco. The club was impressive, I guess, and someone nice even listened to my synchronicity talk, someone with my card and who shook my hand. I don’t think that’s how it supposed to go, but what the fuck do I know? 

What else do you have in store, Waco? How about me watching William (Buffalo Bills) fighting those Indians (Kansas City Chiefs) on the big screen tomorrow at this perfectly youth-branded hotel.

See you there?

UPDATE!

Almost forgot, I picked up a copy of Bill Clinton’s biography yesterday because he talks about going to Haiti with Hillary to take in the local voodoo ceremonies. And the page number he says this shit? That’s right, 237.
