Photographic evidence

As promised, actual pictures of both me, and my Kato costume:


edit: okay, maybe it's just because my computer's tiny, but it doesn't want to load the whole image when I view it through the journal, and cuts it in half as though it's too large to handle (that's what she said [snort]), so I'm just going to provide links.

Bats set listies: Devil's Night

Shit was crazy in a good way last night, and I'm so glad everyone had fun. Y'all looked fantastic.

I was pretty flattered no one recognized me in my Kato costume. I'll post pics eventually, when I'm feeling a bit more up to it (it's been a pretty rough day, unfortunately).

Happy Halloween, guys. Have fun out there. :)

Ah, tonight was much better than the last time. I love it when technology is not a flaming bitch.

Thanks so much for shaking asses, everyone, and for all the compliments. I'm glad y'all enjoyed it.

Special thanks to DJ Stats (CHECK OUT HER SHIT) for hooking technical things up in the Black Room. Despite her crusty industrial shell, she's actually a big ol' nougat-y soft sweety at the core. Just don't tell her I told you (she'll be pissed). :P

Next week is our big Devil's Night/pre-Halloween bash! WE ARE REALLY FUCKING EXCITED. I AM REALLY FUCKING EXCITED. Hope y'all can make it out to celebrate proper with us!! **Heart** because it won't understand the emoticon for some reason [fuck you Blogger]*

Also: exciting literary news!!!

A spooky young adult's magazine wants to publish one of my stories!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

More concrete details are to come, but the magazine specializes in printing spooky stories for clever youths, with a penchant for Edward Gorey/Addams Family humor. And just grazing through some of the stuff they've published thus far, it's pretty fucking hardcore. I'm very proud that they enjoyed my stuff, and I can't wait to see how it goes.

YOU, my dear reader, are free to check out the story they're going to publish right here, before anyone else does, through this little blog.

I couldn't think of what to call it at the time, so I went with the character names. But, I sent it to them as Orphanage. It's about two young orphaned girls, one a bit Wednesday Addams-y, the other just a bit shy and quiet, and their friendship through all things macabre and unusual. I actually really adore them. It's not often I write things that can be described as 'cute,' but I'm proud of those girls.


So check it out!

Long story short, technical difficulties are bunk.

Alas, they come with the territory; just gotta know how to take a punch when you have to, right? It's all in the recovery. Shit definitely got real there, for a second.

But! Things were corrected before the first set's end, and the second one was pretty rockin'. I even got to bust out an encore. :)

Goddamn guys, gotta tell you: I really do love me some October.

Truly is the most wonderful time of the year, and not just because it gives me an excuse to try to incorporate even more death rock/horror movie soundtrack references into my playlists.

:)

Mischief is abound.

Well, well, welly-well-well..

Hey guys, I'm a resident DJ at The Box now! Exciting!

Last night was pretty rockin', aside from some technical mess-ups earlier on in the night. Unfortunately, Morrissey/The Smiths sounded a bit iffy (those poor buttery-smooth vocals...), but everything was cool thereafter.

Thanks again to the whole Box crew for supporting me and believing I got what it takes to rep them. I wanna do 'em proud, and I wanna make you guys, the audience, happy.

Here we gooooo!
