i have a new journal!

it is astrovisionary.
go add me. add me now.

do it.. DOOO IIIITTTT *shakes fist*


...

after five years of loyal (and often excessive/obsessive) use, i've finally decided to lay the journal (and name) vamp1ra to rest. i'll be keeping it online until i've managed to download and archive my old entries, and then i'll be deleting it.

you won't notice much difference, apart from the name change. i'll still be posting about everything from photos to ukeleles, and under my new name, i'll still be part mod of 1015saturday.

this journal and i have had some good times.. but its time to open up a fresh page, i think.

p.s. go add astrovisionary now! :)

the battle for the worst ringtones in my floor section has just taken a horrible turn. among the tetris theme, macguyver theme and adagio for strings (tiesto remix?!), a new contender has entered the game with .. sigh .. drop the pressure.

this can only get worse before it gets better...

[edit] i was just HAUGHTILY informed that it is not in fact a drop the pressure ringtone, but gloria estefan and the miami sound machine. haha! like i said.. worse before it gets better...

from A Night Of Trance at Arq last friday.

i actually don't look munted in these photos. spinal_faun has a magic camera, i swear. (god bless him)

the tall guy in the middle is a random we see everywhere called andrew. he always dances with a huge smile on his face and is a lot of fun.

daniel boud is one of my favourite live music photographers. EVER.

taken from henry rollins's blog. he writes:

"I found out something
interesting tonight. Apparently, this tour was to have a bit of a
different line-up. Tool was supposed to headline the thing with the
Pixies going on before them. The White Stripes were third on the bill.
The Stooges were a last minute add."

OMG it could have been the pixies!!! *weeps*

still, iggy & the stooges were pretty fucking fantastic :)
