My local voting place is a Masonic Lodge and one of my favorite places to watch live music is also a Masonic Lodge in a little town called Mill Valley and the club is called The Sweetwater.

I once went to vote at my local Masonic Lodge and there was TV trucks and reporters all around. I found out that Gavin Newscum had just voted there since he at the time lived nearby and they were sucking I mean interviewing him.

Also to become a Shriner of any kind you must become a Mason first. My grandfather wanted to be a Shriner clown and he had to go through the process of becoming a Mason first. The Shriners have many references to ancient Egypt in their ceremonies and their sub groups.
