I had an amazing time at Downstairs at Joy Manor. I love the idea of having somewhere local to go periodically, as well as to socialize with many of my favorite people on here. Also, having some control over the music would be nice instead of whatever the club owners think will bring in the fresh, younger crowds. If this is something you'd be interested in, please answer the following questions: 1) Would you be interested in doing the same every 1, 2 or 3 months? 2) Would you like it to stay at one location or pop-up at different locations? I would appreciate if people didn't comment that we can go to an established club location, as that is and has always been an option.

You bet!

Ask you shall receive. Here is some relatively new bands and suggested songs with their release year. Most of this is dark wave/cold wave, it’s what I turn to most in my old age, ha ha. Aurat - Waiting for You (2020). This band is unique, the female vocalist sings in both English and Urdu. Box and the Twin - Zerfall; and The First Dream (2019) Cruel Reflection - Ded; and Lester Diamond (2018). That first suggestion (Ded) is just about the loveliest song about being miserable you could ever hope to hear. Dance My Darling - Katherdrale (2020). Honestly this is the only song to date I’ve heard from this band that I like. But in my opinion it is really good. Forever Grey - Common Coffin (2020); and The Other Side (2022). Lebanon Hanover - Alien (2018); and Golden Child (2020). Molchat Doma- CyAHO; and HaAHe (2018), please note these song titles are in the Russian alphabet (the band is from Belarus). I did my best to write them with English characters. Plastique Noir - Rose of Flesh and Blood; and Fugitive Dawn (2011). This is a Brazilian band but they sing in English, they have been around for quite a while but I only discovered them a few years ago Push Button Press - Night Out; and Mire and the Sea SYZXYX Remix (2018). Night Out was easily my favorite track of that year. She Past Away - Durdu Dunya (2019); and Ruh (2012). This band sings in Turkish. Again I did my best to spell the song titles in English characters. Soft Kill - Borders Comfort (2011); and Whirl (2016). TR/ST - Sulk (2012). Twin Tribes - Shadows (2018); Fantasmas (2019). If you ever have the opportunity to see them live, go! It was such a good live performance. Vision Video - Kandahar (2021); and Death in a Hallway (2022). The goofy Goth Dad TikTok’s aside, this band is actually pretty good and worth listening to. Witch of the Vale - Commemorate (2020) That ends my list…. For now… Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

How did you like the movie?

I think me 'n Moe will be going to that one.

Welcome! TA is an awesome dude. And this is a good place to be. Holy shit, y’all. I just realized that I have known most of you that are still here for almost 20 years, thanks to DGN.

Last year’s Halloween costume, my spin on the Evil Queen from Snow White. I made the dress and the cape.

A big shock for this couple as it was a family home as they intended to remove the planks to install the insulation. This house is found to have been built on an important Viking burial site. A rare Roman coin was found on Donner Island near the town of Bodo, Norway. The owners of the house discovered a small glass object which they mistakenly assumed was a truck wheel. They then discovered, an iron ax head and other ancient artifacts, and realized that they had come across something ancient foundation under the wooden planks. They contacted the local authorities, who contacted the Tromso museum. Experts, historians and archaeologists from the Tromso Unit took care of this and took a closer look, they found human bones, an iron arrowhead and other valuable treasures dating from the age viking, which is from 800 to 1100 AD.
