Yesterday marks the four year anniversary of Devil's Advocate.
Devil's Advocate was founded by Thyme, Valaik, Sammuel (after Thyme stole him from Omni-Pol), Blackpetal, and a few others who have long since moved on - Valaik is still with us (sucker!)!. The plan was a simple one: Take the opposing position, raise hell and try to figure out how to make a profit in the process. Ditzie and I were in between jobs at the time and we found Thyme's idea appealing so we signed contracts the very next day.
In our long and colorful history, we have evolved a bit from limiting most of our activities to the night club scene to broader horizons - "broader horizons" being any place where we can get away with it. With a wider focus (oxymoron intended), we have attracted a fairly eclectic membership roster which enables our organization to dip it's fingers into many different pots while still retaining our identity. Sure, we have had our growing pains like everyone else - even to the point where the only people left were Ditzie and I but the darned thing just refuses to go away! We picked up and convinced some others that our philosophy was not only right, but it was natural and got things rolling again.
Today, Devil's Advocate still carries on in it's tradition and, personally, I can not imagine being anywhere else or with a finer group of people. Happy Fourth Anniversary to Devil's Advocate!
dev·il's advocate (n.)
