hey Logan, I didn’t know you were a performer and involved in a Rocky Horror production. Sweet. Let’s pimp your MySpace, shall we?

Btw, if Donahoo was my last name I’d spell it like this - donaHOOO!111

It was great meeting you and your friend too. Oh, and yah, Jim is incredibly cute. Sometimes I want to gobble him up but then I’d miss hanging out with him and have to talk to my belly instead.

Thank you so so much for stopping by and posting that awesome link. I can’t wait to show the guys. If you ever want to see them playing with the full band and/or hang pop me an email. They play in St. Pete all the time.

It was really nice meeting you both at the pizzeria before the show. You guys looked great. You did a very nice job on Jim’s leather mask, too (jeezus, he’s cute!). I still haven’t gotten my batch of photos developed (yes, I need to join the 21st century and get a digital one). However, I was sent this guy’s photobucket. I think I saw a few of you guys brigading:

Take care. Hope to see you guys sometime again soon!

justme - clowns creep me out in the ‘not so good’ way. :O

gabe - love your haiku, as always

coolio - hoO! i’m glad i turned you on to the dresden dolls. i feel like i’ve done something good with my life now and can jump off a building or something. it will be a while before they tour again, but amanda has some solo stuff coming out this year and will tour i believe. not the same as the dresden dolls, but still she is so incredible i’m sure whatever she’s up to will be worth checking out and experiencing live if you have the chance.

withershins - i raise my glass to basket cases everywhere! *clink*

benson - thanks for taking the time to comment. i tried a couple other approaches to the makeup before that look came up. i was pretty happy with it. thanks for noticing. there’s something magical about makeup and clothing…you can sort of lose yourself..no, scratch that. you can bring part of yourself to the surface and let it take the lead.

jim has on this incredible jacket ..it’s sort of like a parade coat, but on the gothy side. he paired it with a tux shirt, bowtie, white gloves and hat we got at a cool vintage shop in ybor city. the mask is something i made out of scrap leather sliced like shards of glass to fit onto a cheap plastic white mask we got at a craft store. oh, and he also added a black boa to the ensemble. yeah, it rocked almost as much as he does.

I really like the way you do birds, and that bird painting is particularly cool…and that’s not just the Stendhals talking.

So glad to read about this Stendhal Syndrome–I thought I was just being a basket-case all these years.

:)

…Yay. (Had to get that out)

Skeletal sweetheart, grinning
as art consumes them.

:D

Cabaret always kind of creeps me out, but in a good way, like GingerDead. As opposed to circus performers - especially French circus performers - who for some reason kind of creep me out *not* in a good way. Some repressed childhood trauma or something I guess.

Thanks for the spectacular photos and the excited first-hand account. I’m glad you had such a great time. Enjoy your flashbacks. Wish I could’ve been there too….

Oh, and great comic, too! Your haikus kick ass.
