We are the Church of Gion. You dig? Joel is the deity, the father.
It came upon the residents and friends of Milfton in the Summer of 2006. Joel is the father and his way is the way of good and groove. You dig?
Every word, every nuance of movement of Joel is the way and the light. You dig?
Gionism. The way of love. The way to live. The way of cool.
We dig, do you?
This is not satire, a joke, or farce. This is faith. A true religion dedicated to the deity of our time. We are converts from other faiths who saw the way in Joel.
(Note: This is NOT Joel Gion's myspace, nor is it a fan club.)

My Interests

Joel, tambourines, maracas, picadilly weepers (thanks to Brother Mathew for that term), dipping food, being cool, living life to its fullest and most righteous. Good times without apprehension.

Getting the seal of approval from Deb Markowitz

We're a legal entity now.  Next up, the I.R.S.     They made a few errors, spelling Dan's last name incorrectly and repeating our names twice as officers, rather than differentiatin...

False Prophets/Keeping the Faith

With great sadness, the Church must announce the renouncing (and excommunication, for lack of a better term) of the Oracle of Gionism. The Oracle was a false prophet, who was unwilling to live the ...
