I knew something was going to come along and piss me off....

I knew the high couldn't last too long. It never does.



At work tonight I was told by some jackass resident "If you can't be more entheuiastic about waving, don't wave at all". Of all the shit we do here, he's going to bitch about that?! This after all of us working non-stop, and 2 of my co-workers working 12hr days for 6 days straight so I could go on vacation? Not to mention working another 3 weeks straight once I came back, doing 12hr shifts on weekends so the guys could get some time off. We don't even get a "thank you". Anywhere else, and everyone would have quit!

The guys I work with are some of the best in the area, and deicated to their jobs. We could go elsewhere and probably get paid more, but we like where we are and who we work with so we stay. 99% of the people out here are damn good people, but it's the 1% who have nothing better to do but find some reason to bitch and moan over nothing. I'm offended! It's a slap in the face and I think we are owed an apology.



The article is comming along, it's up to 6 pages now. Another couple of pages and perhaps some minor tweaking and it will be ready. I feel like I've been slacking. I should've had the fucking thing done by now! I've got 2 days off, back to back on thursday and friday. Guess I'll have more than enough time to fuck with it then.

Talk about big fucking break!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit! I got it. I got the interview. The gods love me. This is a big step up, a foot in the door so to speak.

Ville now holds something dear to me, my custom ankh rosary made with rose beads. He is one of the most beautiful men I have ever met in all my years, not just physically but mentally. He is a gentle, poetic soul not made for this world. At least not today's world.

It's a long story, but it will be published in Febuary. Go to the PM magazine website

Damn, I'm nuts enough to try to get an interview with Ville Valo

I must be nuts to try this. I've been talking back and forth with the management for HIM. It's still up in the air at this point. I might get a call monday and get the interview, I might not. I decited to pull a nice little promo, just for rave members.

If you could ask Ville one question, what would it be?



No marrige proposals, he's engaged.

Get me some good questions, and I'll ask if I can.

One lucky winner will recieve some free stuff from the band (hopefully a signed CD)



*No promises, I'm still working on this, so It all depends on weather or not it comes through.

Did I somehow miss something?

I realized that everyone around me now has some kind of significant other, or is getting laid in some way, shape or form. Damn. It doesn't bother me so much. I've been busy working so I'm not so worried about it. Still wouldn't mind some kind of companionship, beyond friendship. Intamacy, I think that's the word. Not so much about sex, but something on a deeper level.

Ok, New approach....

I've got so many articles swimming around in my brain, to concentrate on just one right now would not be right. I think the CXS/ Corruption angle is just too wide for one story. I'm just going to look at doing the review for the show, and worring about the corruption allegations in another article when I have more info to go on.

So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to concentrate on a Gonzo editioral piece for the show. That way it covers my ass regarding certain statements I plan to make, namely my complaints against the management for such rude mistreatment of the crowd, myself and the band. I'm still going to get interviews from people in the crowd, their opinions of the show, ect.

I've also got an article on Hookah Cafes and ettiquite (yes, there is such a thing). It seems to be a growing trend in the US, especially with all the military comming back from the big sandbox and trying it over there in Bagdad (or wherever they wound up). Lots of younger people, college age and what not are attracted to the strange looking aparatus, and the smooth flavored smoke. Most of the younger crowd don't know that there is a form of ettiquite in these places. Namely don't show up acting like a loud mouth ass hole, wandering in saying "wow man, cool bongs!". Dead giveaway that your an ass hole. Chill out, be mellow, and go with the vibe.

Another one I'm working on is, "Yesterday's kindergoth, Today's Emo kid". I'm more or less pointing out the similarities and differences of both crowds. I need filler for the gap here.



I figure that this will be a good alternative to what I was attempting to work on. Right now, the Corruption story is considered a work in progress. I need more info and collabration before it's a go.

Seems that I have lit a fire....

Seems that my actions, complaints and questions have lit a fire under someone's ass. I apparently have upset quite a few people. I've heard through the grapevine that the band would be happy if this whole incident was dropped.

I can't do that. My apologies to the band and their management, but this is bigger than them. Unfortunately, The Cruxshadows just happen to be caught in the middle of it. What happened at Shitty's is just the straw that broke the camel's back. The focus of the article is not just what happened to CXS, if it was no one would be threatening to shoot me (no shit!). I've known for about 5 years how corrupt the club scene is out here. Shit is run like the mob. A friend of mine who threatened to go public about how bad it is had his life threatened. The people he used to work for tried to kill him and make it look like an accident.



Unfortunately, they hit the wrong guy. My friend went into hiding, I began rattling cages. I made it clear, if my friend died, 2 graves would be dug.

I decided to wait, bide my time, build a few bridges and just "wait for the opportune moment" as Capt. Jack Sparrow would say (LOL). Most of what I managed to find was astonishing to me. I found out how high up the corruption went, and what I knew was just the tip of the iceberg. What I'm finding out now, allegedly (I’m still working on the paper trail), is going to cause problems.Allegedly, certain state agencies are involved. I can't say more than that. I've already had threats, some against my life for daring to speak out. Can you say Concealed Weapons permit and a .45?



Let's just say, I've covered my ass. Anything happens to me, Not only will the story be blown wide open, quite a few graves will be dug. What are friends for, right?

I've gone too far now, spent 2 days writing and making phone calls, getting my source to trust me. As Momma Kat told me last night, "You've stirred up a bloody hornet's nest, now. No backing down from that."

Worst part is, after this, The goth "scene" may be fucked. Looks like someone needs to be legit and open up a good, legit place.

Shitty's Must Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who missed it, the Cruxshadows/ Ego Likeness/ VSB show was damn near a fucking fiasco. The bands were great, no problems there. The management (if you can call them that) was nothing to be desired.



To sum it up, The doors opened 2 hours late, because they didn't want to kick out the group of yuppies that booked 2 weeks earlier. The bands were booked months in advance. They were not let in until 8 to get set up. Club management claims that the bands didn't show up untill then, (bullshit, I saw them there at about 7:30 getting unloaded and security not letting them in). At the end of the show they cut off Rogue in the middle of "marilyn my bitterness". Once they did that, I recall giving the one finger salute and saying something akin to "Unless you want a riot, I suggest you turn the sound back on". After 5 min, while I was in line with Jessy to get my DVD autographed, I complained to the manager (at least I think he was the manager) about how we were being treated, and we were told "leave or you will be arrested for tresspassing"! THEY THREATENED TO ARREST ROGUE if he didn't leave when we did. When we did leave, I was not allowed into the building to return to my room (I was a registered guest), the "security" said "I don't give a shit, walk around". So I walked around the side of the building in the cold, with no coat on. Needless to say, I had some nice words with the general manager in the morning letting her know also that I was a music critic with a magazine that is carried nationwide in Tower Records and Virgin Megastores. I call my editor first thing in the morning to let him know what had happened, he said "run with it". He is also going to fax the hotel management a notice letting them know that I was not some nut job, and did work for the magazine. Also asking the nightclub/ hotel management for comment.



One plus side, the band's rooms were 2 doors down from my own.
