I haven’t ache that much in ages, I feel like one does after a gym session …especially my legs…not sure if it is the 10+ hours sitting in a car on Friday, wearing heels at the chaps or standing all day yesterday…( maybe walking to work in new shoes finish me) but seriously ouch…look like a very odd creature right now wobbling about between bookshelves.. …glad I didn’t cycle ... def a bus home …
Its been very busy today so chaps entry and photos might have top wait until tomorrow...
- Music:MM-if i was your vampire
Here a little hat concoction I made for the night…and photos

Such a busy fab weekend…brain but mostly legs so tired today...as I seem to have forgotten to sit once yesterday...and decided to break in some of my new purchase by walking to work this morning…
On Sunday it was the Alternative Bring and Buy, what a great event , had a stall there, sold lots of my clothes and bought lots of new stuff…but still return with most of the profit so success…it will buy a much needed big chest to put clothes in …
Such a fun day mainly spent chattering with lots of friends and passing trade and shopping a lot too (many thanks to simonsatori to bearing the stall each time I went on another shopping wander)…got some amazing bargains (especially at the fairy goth mother stall…beautiful FGM skirt for as low as £1!!!!!), got lots of fabulous hair falls from missneedles…actually I seemed to return mainly with lots of hairs, shoes , skirts …
A fabulous day, ended with roast diner at the Gatehouse with vampysheep, Rob, David and vampgirl101…many thanks for the lift again…
My bedroom is all upside down and not looking forward emptying all the suitcases and recreating clothing rails in the mayhem called my bedroom tonight.
There even a video of the day: here( Photos )
Although it's only been a few weeks since I first came across these guys I can't precisely recall where it was I did. I've a feeling Twenty Sided might have been the culprit though.
Anyway,
These
Guys
Absolutely
Rock!
Sure, there are some misses in there, it's not all utterly brilliant, but much of it is exactly that. I'm now dreading the time when I'll have gotten through all the available archives and will have to wait for new stuff on a more or less weekly basis.
So, if you've got any free time at all on your hands you could do a lot worse than clicking on the link in the first paragraph of this post and watching some of this excellent comedy.
gothic_violin sent to me...See you later;)
What an amazing set, some scene breathtaking, got rained on (and it was freezing in there) , crokery thrown at us and more...
It wasn't at all what a expected and left me a bit perplex at the end ...I guess I was expecting a final explanation or tirade but a very enjoyable production.
The plan is....3 days weekend ahead for me....Inspector calls tonight
Rome Burns in Subculture Leeds Friday
The Grand Anarcho-Dandyist Chaps Ball on Saturday
Stall at the Alternative Brig and Buy Sunday
Still fancy the vague notion of going to the Nightbreed Gig afterwards to see TwoWitches but will see how tired ...
Still adequate tickets on the door, unless you are planning on turning up by the zeppelin load....
I'll be on the door, see you there 8;-)=

Packed with over 40 stalls of both second-hand and hand-crafted goods, it's the perfect place to grab some Xmas pressies, or just to treat yourself to a bargain or ten ;)
With a bar, DJ's and stalls selling all sorts from hair falls to steampunk jewellery, second-hand goth/cyber clothing to CD's and knick knacks, it's a brilliant Sunday out.
Come and say hello at my stall :)
£4 which includes entry to Friday Flock!
Rome Burns are the UK's most charming Goth band. According to Mercer: "Their music can at times be rawly invigorating while at others takes on a more soothing glow, dazzling you with restraint and the best lyrics the UK Goth scene has actually witnessed". Mercer also adds that Rome Burns "are so head and shoulders above the rest I think they've also been designing stilts", praise indeed!
The Men That Will Not be Blamed for Nothing are a steampunk band from London, featuring Andy Heintz from Creaming Jesus and Giant Paw. Their name is a reference to the chalked graffiti discovered above a section of blood-stained apron thought to have been discarded by Jack the Ripper as he fled the scene of Catherine Eddowes' murder. They describe themselves as "Crusty punk meets cockney sing-songs meets grindcore in the 1880s."

To say I might be excited is an understatement
I finally made it to Zeitgeist, alongside ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
vampyresheep , rob, simonsatori and Iain very nice pub; they created me a wonderful concoction out of some beer and fruits…tasty. The food was okay not that exciting as menu mainly involving meat and potato.
A cold but beautiful walk on the Thames bank to join Patrica, Andrew, sahra_patroness , enlyyl , noughat and more friends........ at the Movieum
It was fabulously surreal to walk about amongst the film museum after hours. From giant yeti to huge chess piece, Marcus even took us on a little private tour to see Excalibur, Hellraiser and other wonders in the darkness.
The debating chamber itself was a perfect venue (apart from being very cold), last time I was there was for Jedi school….
The screenplay reading the Hand Factory at was really interesting, never been to anything in that format, very odd at first, 2 readers setting the scenes and lots of actors standing time to time to read their part, they were all positioned on the podium, and we had background music.
Oddly enough after the initial uncertainty it was very easy to get into it and actually quite visual. The screen play was also very good, dark and funny…Patricia Quinn was most excellent.
Afterward we stayed a little at the bar, meeting crew and blabbing about what we just seen.

Love that venue:
The Alternative Bring and Buy sale ( http://www.alternativebringnbuy.co.u

I have spent some rather pleasant time cat sitting in Kirkstall and I'm scheduled to do it again later this week. I must say that I love that area and would gladly relocate if I could afford to live there. Sadly, a bedsit there costs about £75 per week to rent, whereas my own flat in Hull... a rambling affair with a spare room in the attic has been holding steady at £50 per week for the last few years and it's a mere 20 minute walk from my job.
So, in summary,life's not at all bad at present. My modest needs are met and there's no immediate source of stress.Under such conditions I feel like a very rich and fortunate man.
And now... this.

- Music:None
I love this time of the year when I add even more fairy lights everywhere, the flat been cover in tinsels, the mulled start appearing at dinner…I know I always start way too early but I was still adding bits this morning, so officially I did wait for December to do the Xmas tree.

On Sunday night , we joined Donna at Bar55 to do some NYE tickets swapping and a much needed catch up session…and ended up very very tipsy on cocktails...the place is dangerous…hundreds and hundreds on the menu, buy 1 get 1 free…some with ice cream, biscuit, cheesecake, smoothies…my new favorite is the cranberry and cinnamon martini in which they add a flame orange peel…the raspberry mojito was damn lovely too…then it get hazy…afterward we stumbled into bento giggling, attempting to look sober whist ordering food…then I ate the whole wasabi lump in one go thinking it was a bit of avocado from my maki…much green tea was needed… I can say that Simon and I not been that drunk in a long time.
( So many cocktail ...the proof..the naughty proof )
