Happy 2 Year Anniversary To The Man I Love

babylon23
Josh, I am honored to have you as both my life-partner and best friend. I could write a book about how enriching these last 2 years have been and what a wonderful experience it's been, but that would only take time from planning for tonight. So instead, I will simply say I look forward to reflecting on the 2 years of extramarital bliss, debauchery, and life experiences we've shared and the lifetime of memories to come. I love you to the depths of my being and can't imagine a world without you in it- I want to wake up to your morning-breath kisses and sleepy eyes until we're both a couple of raisins so blind with cataracts I can't even make out your face anymore. I look forward to that process and everything that happens between now and then. My soul mate, happy anniversary.




And I can't wait for sexxxy time tonight =] Anniversary sex rawks!!!!

So....spinning Andromeda, the Marching Dynamics show, and spinning Bunker in Feb...

babylon23
Highlights of the trip last weekend to Riverside:

- venue was a Cubs/Bears bar. WIN!

- had an amazing time spinning Andromeda with RaZorslave, Dj Liquid Sex Drive, and Dj Obscura

- heard someone other than Josh or myself drop Underworld and Massive in Mensch

- got pretty drunk off 3 drinks all night(good bartenders rock)

- booked a room on Orbitz that had been quoted for $45 and turned out to cost $62

- drove 40 miles so Josh could hit a savers and buy yet another Hawaiian shirt so horrifying it could melt the face off an infant

- ate at Pepitos, an authentic Mexican food place where a ranchero band serenades you while you eat; it's connected to Club Skandal

- saw some incredible people and got some incredible photos

- saw Marching Dynamics perform (absolutely fucking amazing) while doing a tiki-themed show and wearing oversized black-light reactive masks of the heads of Easter Island

- heard Marching Dynamics sound go dead 4 times while performing and killing 4 channels

- met River, who entertained me with some lively conversation

- got molested by beautiful girls [life is so hard...:) ]

- GOT ASKED TO DJ DAS BUNKER IN FEB FOR THE ESTROGEN NIGHT!!! Too...stoked...for...words.....(yay!)


I really want to thank Dj and Mrs. Liquid Sex Drive for allowing me the distinct pleasure and honor of djing Andromeda. I had a ton of fun and really hope to do it again sometime. I also couldn't (and still can't) believe Frank asked me to dj the noise room at Das Bunker. I actually had to ask Josh a couple times whether or not I was having a schizophrenic episode because I honestly didn't believe that it happened; I will totally shit myself if it falls on the weekend of my birthday.

As for Marching Dynamics, I couldn't be more excited to host them here. They did such an amazing job, especially given the technical difficulties they encountered. Thanks Josh for getting some photos/video. I can't wait for the 8/8 show!

Bye bye Vector [a repost with a little twist]

First the bad news.

"We would like to thank everyone for their support over the last three years, we could not have done this without you and we truly appreciate your patronage at Vector.

However,

July 4th will be the last Regular Vector @ Black Label, we were asked to consider moving the night to a Sunday, Wed, or Thursday and it didn't take long to realize that the idea is just not tenable.

August 8th, will be the final Show for Vector @ Black Label. We haven't decided if we're going to find another venue or just take a break for a while. At this point even if the bar were to magically change their minds once again regarding the night, we'd walk away.

The owners were quite thrilled with the upswing of attendance that occurred from the April through the end of may (which is why they asked us to go weekly) but were disappointed by the following drop to the lowest numbers we've ever seen show up at Vector.

No amount of excuses and explanations about the competing house parties (yes multiple) and other things going on that night could be accepted. They are business people, and need to be profitable. They need to try something else that will make them money because we are not making them what they think they could make with another group on that night. It has come down to move to another night or move on. . . "

[interjection]

This was written up by RaZorslave. I, however, would like to add that there is at least a consistency now with the message. I will not miss dealing with the fickle and unprofessional nature of the owners of Black Label; it is appalling to me that someone who runs a business would pull some of the stunts they did, such as arbitrarily raising drink prices without prior notice, changing their policy of whom they allow into their establishment [without the matching licensing to do so] without prior notice, playing this cat and mouse game of who whether or not we're going weekly or shutting down, and jumping down my throat when I explain that the economic climate simply does not allow for people to spend $12 on a WELL long island ice tea or $8 on a bottle of domestic beer. This isn't the fucking strip, and even their prices are more reasonable. So, I guess my sentiments on the matter are good riddance to bad rubbish. There's my silver lining.

[end interjection]

I hope to see you all out over the next few weeks we're going to exit with style and grace starting with:

Hyundais Only on the north side of Spring Mtn just east of Lindell (between Decatur and Jones)

5410 Spring Mountain Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 362-8082

Seriously, between all the times I've gotten my car serviced there and come in with problems they haven't ever tried to sell me some bullshit and have actually referred me to other places if they can't help me out. For instance, after taking my car in to get the alignment fixed and the transmission looked at they told me my wheels were separating and I just need to put new tires on my car. They didn't charge me for the inspection and sent me on my way. Another time, I thought I had to change my timing belt as well as all the other belts and they just simply tightened my timing belt, charged me $50 for the hour of labor taking my engine out and adjusting the belt and told me to come back in about 8mos later to get it replaced. These people specialize in Hyundais but if you don't have one, they will work on your car and not overcharge you for stupid shit. I can't stress that last part enough- they will take a look at your car, assess what's wrong, and tell you exactly what you need and where to go if they can't help you. They will tell you outright if it will be faster/extend your warranty if you go through the dealership and just plainly put, won't screw you. I've gotten epicly fucked by different mechanics throughout town and these guys are in and by far THE BEST MECHANICS I'VE ENCOUNTERED. Well, I'm on my way to go drop off my car for routine maintenance.

Check them out if you need work done. Fer realz.

Vector News, and Zombies!!!

babylon23
Hey guys! This is a little belated,but we wanted to get this right. We wanted to thank every dedicated patron that made it out to Vector on Saturday the 18th. We were greeted by some new faces as well as fond old friends, and though we had fewer bodies than we would have liked through the door, it was a wonderfully intimate engagement. You guys are the reason we pour so much effort into bringing you this night, two, and sometimes three times a month. You are the gasmask clad, blood & sweat soaked vinyl core of our scene and comprise one of the most collectively loyal and passionate groups it’s been my pleasure to spin for in this nation. That is why it is both an honor and a pleasure to put on the Vector Industrial Night for you, bringing new music and live performances to stomp your heart out to. We thank you greatly for your continued support.

With regards to support, however, we also received some news from the owners of the club last Saturday. We were confronted with the singular question as to where everyone was and why our numbers (in conjunction with the bar's numbers) were not higher. We brought into account the fact that The Cure show was the night before, Coachella was going on that weekend, and that a new monthly event premiered that night catering to the same crowd at Beauty Bar. We also made mention of the fact that since the weather is finally warming up and is no longer fluctuating between bitter cold and nice that our numbers should be increasing soon. They have already heard about all they can stomach concerning the effects of the current economy on our night. We have been given a deadline of May 30th to bring in - and sustain - a crowd of at least twice as many people or they will have no choice but to invest in a potentially more profitable night.

This/ /is /*not*/ about hostility towards other nights or personal grievances; this is simply the fact of the matter. We will continue to bring you the best in industrial music as long as you allow us and support us. We love our crowd of friendly degenerates and drunken libertines, and we hope you will make it out to support /your/ night. Because this is all about you- without you, there is no night. It is a choice entirely up to each of you - it comes at a time when the world is getting turned on its head, our economy is in the shitter, and we freaks need to stick it out together. So please come out and show some serious man love for the Vector Industrial Night.

Our next event will be the First Friday/PRIDE Afterparty

While I would truly enjoy seeing them tonight if I had the money, I'm so tired of hearing about the show tonight I could puke. Seriously. Everyone knows they're playing at the Palms and [you may wanna take a deep breath and sit down for this] NO ONE CARES THAT YOU DISHED OUT $150 FOR YOUR SINGLE FLOOR LEVEL TICKET! Nameless set of Vegas friends, meet reality. I know that this probably comes as a shock you and is beyond your comprehension, but I'm just doing my part to help enlighten you and soften the blow. Everyone already knows you own every rarity, imported cd, and bootleg that Robert Smith has been a part of [intentionally or otherwise] and how you masturbate to him at night while your husband/wife is asleep next to you. Truth be told, no one could possibly give an inkling of a shit less. For realz. Please stop sending out spam bulletins on myspace every 4 seconds reitterating the fact that you "can't wait for The Cure show tonight" or asking what you should wear (besides, we all know you're going to wear some super-rare tour shirt anyways).

It's going to be a fucking awesome night celebrating the life of one who's passed on. I know many of you probably know Joe (and his lovely wife Bathory) as one of the most loving and loyal friends/patrons of our local industrial scene. He is my friend and has been extremely supportive throughout every transition and mutation within it and has always been a blast to party with.

Tonight it's time to give back.

Joe and his family suffered the loss of his brother, Michael, and tonight is a benefit to celebrate his life and help raise money to assist with the final costs incurred by this tragedy. I can't think of a better way to be remembered- I know when I pass on I would like people to celebrate my life through music, dance, alcohol, and copulation =] You already know it's gonna be fucking amazing, I don't need to tell you that. You also know how badly you're gonna be kicking yourself in the ass if you don't show up, so don't be a pansy ass and just come out and have a good time for a great cause. Plus the DJ line up is amazing- it's gonna be sick! So put on your face and I'll see you there!



~~ From Myspace~~

Michael Arellano is the older brother of Joe Arellano (Acid Enema / Sangre / DJ Desolous) that passed away on January 18th, 2009. Michael Arellano is survived by his mother and father, two younger brothers and sister, and his two daughters.

While Michael was never involved with the industrial scene, this is the best way I know to honour his life. This night will also be a fundraiser to help with the final debts incurred by his passing that his family has taken on. This event is open to everyone. A moment of silence will be observed at midnight for Michael Arellano, and in honour of anyone you may have lost.

Appalling!!!

babylon23
Am I the only one thoroughly disgusted by the idea of an unemployed, single 33 year old who ALREADY has 6 kids and has been receiving funding from government programs to support them having a litter of 8 on top of that?

Let's start off with the fact that all 6 of her existing children were conceived via in vitro fertilization, which shows that these prior pregnancies (as well as this latest freak disaster one) were intentional.  As in, she did not just get randomly knocked up. Since part of the request for in vitro fertilization requires a psychiatric evaluation, WHY THE FUCK WASN'T THIS BABY FETISHIST DENIED HER REQUEST?!!!! For this process, you are also usually required to forfeit your financial records and tax returns to show that you can financially support a child.

With that in mind, I am personally incensed over this fiasco because I don't think that any tax payer should have a cent of their tax dollars go towards a woman who can't support the 6 kids she already has and then has chosen to add another 8 to the mix. That is excessive and grounds for reckless endangerment. This is what I base my position upon:

1) All of her pregnancies were by in vitro fertilization. This means that she sought out and controlled out how many times she got pregnant, regardless of whether or not she could adequately provide for her children. This was not an accident. Not the 5 pregnancies before the octuplets (she already had one set of twins), and certainly not this one. Moreover, there is intense scrutiny over whether or not she had 8 fertilized eggs implanted into her this time or whether the "eggs multiplied", and they are unwilling to reveal the details. [I should add it's been said by every bio-ethics agent and doctor who's been interviewed on MSNBC and CNN so far that whatever doctor implanted these eggs should be investigated, if not stripped of their license]

2) She is unemployed and single, meaning that the only money she has been receiving is from government aide and donations/gifts to assist her, and more importantly, her children. There is no partner/spouse/counterpart to this equation which means there is no supplementary income to help care for these children. I should say that as a feminist, I am in full support of welfare programs that help struggling single parents (regardless of gender) who can not otherwise provide adequately for their children. My mom received food stamps and welfare during the months following 9/11 when she was unemployed for 14 months. We would not have been able to survive without it. However, I think in special cases like this, before anyone is approved for further gutting our social programs as selfishly and excessively as this woman has done by planning a pregnancy of 8 more children on top of the 6 she's already receiving financial assistance for, they should do a thorough investigation of abuses of the program and perhaps put a cap on how many children you can receive money for through the different programs. Also, it wouldn't hurt to put a cap on how long you can collect welfare for any given child. This would force one to actively seek out other options to provide for themselves and their children after a certain amount of time.

        -  To better illustrate the point I'm trying to make here, I'll give a few examples to defend my position  -

A.  Let's say that we were to put a time limit on how much welfare you could collect for one child. (For the sake of argument, we'll make it 8 years.) For 8 years, you may collect the maximum amount per month for both welfare and food stamps for that one single child. Given the option, you may also choose to collect less than the maximum amount, meaning you can extend the time that you collect on that child at a lower amount. If you have another child within that 8 year period, you may start collecting the maximum welfare/food stamps amount for them as well as the money you are currently receiving for your other child, and may continue to collect for 8 years from the date of birth of that child at the maximum allotted amount (or longer if you would like to extend the program by receiving a lower amount for your child). Ultimately, it boils down to X amount of dollars being spent on each child whose parent(s) qualify for government programs. Time is essentially a false concept in this idea and is rather irrelevant in terms of numbers, but the aide that any parents receive from the program in providing for their children is very real and relevent.  I think that 8 years should be enough time to recover from hard economic times and find a job to adequately support your child[ren]. You may also receive this aide for countless children.

B.  Another idea is to put a cap on the number of children you may receive financial assistance for. This aide would be indefinite until the child turns 18. Again, for the sake of argument, let's go with 8. I think that if you've already got 8 kids and have landed on the welfare list, you might want to rethink spreading your legs. Get on birth control or get a goddam vasectomy. I'm sorry, but you want to argue religious ideology with me when it's coming out of my tax dollars, fuck you. Have your church pay to provide for your children if you want/need more than 8 kids. If 18 years of assistance for 8 children is not enough, your children should be taken out of your custody because you are an incompotent parent.

C.  Let's give those collecting from the program the option to choose either A or B, depending on their situation or how many childrent they have.


3) If we are going to give financial assistance to a woman who is addicted to having children, we should have federally funded abortions. These would be for all the women who have no desire to have children at that juncture in their life because they recognize they are not emotionally / financially / psychologically / or otherwise ready to have a child. The statistical majority of people on welfare- even in this economic climate- are those who young, single women who have children they cannot provide for. This is not a prejudice, this is a fact- anyone who knows me knows that I am a radical feminist and am just as much pro-child as I am pro-choice. I believe that children are the most precious and innocent of all creatures and their QUALITY OF LIFE should reflect this sentiment. My heart weeps because the fact that many children are brought into this world before the parents are ever ready to care for them, and it's because of this that I am vehemently pro-choice. I could site a hundred reasons someone might have an abortion, but I digress...if a woman is given a real option of choice in the matter of having a child, she should not be forced into a government program through having a child she can't provide for and should be able to receive a voucher to present in the event she wants to terminate the pregnancy. Why is this culture so eager to grant parenthood to any girl who has a fetus and so quick to demonize one that wants to opt out of that position? I mean, is it about increasing church attendance or adding cannon fodder to the gun machine? Is it the possibility of another tax payer being brought into our society? This loosely strung together and poorly crafted veneer of pseudo "morality" to try and limit access to (if not all together ban) an approved medical procedure or even try to block access to birth control is absolutely absurd and so illogical it borders on the line of mental incapacitation. The philosophical term for their kind of logical argument (violates almost every one of the 3 laws of logic and in fact, has almost nothing to do with logic) is reductio ad absurdum which literally translates into reduced to the absurd. I'm not saying that every woman who gets pregnant should abort their "baby" but they should have the option to do so if they cannot take care of it. Just because I'm lucky enough to be dating a man with a vasectomy doesn't mean everyone is that lucky. Condoms break, birth control fails, and due to the nauseating misinformation of "abstinence only" education being presented to children as actual sexual education there has been a spike in teen pregnancies in the last 4 years. Big surprise, Bush failed us yet again.

* Let me say that those who argue for adoption, once the adoption rate increases above 10% with 90% of those being children under the age of 3, you can bitch to me about how immoral abortion is. I don't necessarily want children of my own and ABSOLUTELY plan on adopting if I do decide to raise a child. This is a personal conclusion I came to a long time ago when I first learned of the concept of adoption, and long before I started dating someone with a vasectomy. For those who fight so fiercely on the side of  the "adoption option", less than 5% of them have chosen to actually adopt a child of their own. You fucking hypocrites have your own circle in hell.




So there it is- my rant over probably one of the worst kinds of child abuse, one which has serious moral and social implications as well as putting her kids in jeopardy by exposing them to this microcosm of bright lights and possibly reality TV series. I can only hope that her children aren't harmed in the process, but hope that she gets EXACTLY what she deserves. Maybe her uterus will finally fall out and we can be done with her passing on any more of her genetics. This kind of reckless activity makes me pray for nuclear holocaust...hurts.....brain.....GAH!!!!!

So I joined twitter today.......now I can drink another batch of technologically impersonal kool-aid while I reply to your tweet when I shit. Seriously, it's like the convulsing toothless tweaker of the online community, complete with down to the second updates of you and your friends comments/tweets/pick-up lines/etc and text capability- yes, you can tweet strait from your cell phone. This is the kind of thing that would give my grandmother heart palpatations. Yet, I'm strangely intrigued in the same kind of way one might curiously lick a 9volt battery to see how it feels. I am now another twitter philistine.

Ok, so I took it to help curb the rather depressive side of my monthly hemorrhage and now it's 10 to 5 in the morning and I can't sleep. Wee!!!!!!!!!!



In other news, my dad's out of jail so that's a huge weight off of my chest. Now he can take care of his own shit- hate to sound like a selfish person, but I've got too much on my plate and this is not my cross to bare. Other than that, I started having a seizure tonight at work but was able to calm down and stop it before it got too out of control. See, I don't get "the shakes"; every muscle in my body clenches up and I can't move. I'm aware of everything around me but cannot respond to anything and sort of freeze up. I've never been formally "diagnosed" with anything but I've been known to have severe episodes of this nature when I have an anxiety attack. Tonight was I think the first time it was unprompted by any kind of anxiety issue. I plan on seeing a doctor later this month whenever I can schedule it in and have a day off.

Well, that's my mental ejaculate for the night.

Oh, and Mac's Blackwatch Cream Porter is truly the nectar of gods. If you live in Vegas and have a chance to check it out, it's $4.99 for a 6-pack @ Lee's Liquor.

Ok, so aside of my dad being imprisoned for a slew of charges brought against him (mainly some really complicated contempt of court charge) and having to figure out exactly how to file a bankruptcy for him since he's totally broke and owes some obscene amount of money to collectors, I've been having to play an intermediary  position between my other family members, my dad's crazy girlfriend, and everyone else involved. Filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy stops all judgements/collections/pending suits against you temporarily, if not entirely. Something to know is that my dad has been in there for like over a month now and is sort of going Lord of the Flies in there while still maintaining some grand dillusion of having millions of dollars in bonds somewhere. It's complex because his lawyer has been the most incompotent piece of shit ever licensed to defend anyone (and practices criminal law, not bankruptcy) and so it's like dealing with Lionel Hutz from the Simpsons almost to a tee. With this in mind, my mom is bringing my brother up from Arizona to visit him this weekend with him going before a judge on Monday.

With that back story, here's the way my day has played out so far:

- Wake up and call my aunt to figure out how to go about filling out all the paperwork for the bankruptcyand finding a lawyer/paralegal to get his signiture on the papers so we can go file Monday.

- Come to find out, my dad made some statements before a judge last week that contradict his prior claims so he's looking at an even longer sentance.

- Meanwhile, my mom is here in town on her way to the 4 Queens and somehow got lost down at the South Point and called me for directions.

- My brother and his friend want to go watch the playoff game so they wanted to be DROPPED OFF at a casino to go watch the game.

- I got to explain that between the CES and "Porn Oscars" the worst thing she could do is split up with them if she doesn't really know her way around town.

- After about 10 minutes of figuring out her cross streets and essentially telling her to pull over and tell the pechulant children with her to shut up and stay in the damn car, she tells me to just give her the address to put into her GPS and she'll just follow the directions from there.



*TWITCH*


It's reasons like this people like Andrea Yates have to exist to kill off their own damn bloodline. God I can't wait for this fucking weekend to be over.

So, talked to management tonight. We got some very screwy message from the 2nd in command on the bar staff Saturday night and only today were able to get in touch with management.

As it turns out, this weekend is a no go. Something about a not so smooth transition for the konkrete jungle night to Friday this week, so we've got every other weekend throughout the rest of the month- sans the 10th.

It's.....brilliant. (I'm sorry, is that the seething sarcasm in my voice splooging all over this blog?) Anyways, bottom line- I'm sorry this break down in communication epically fails on a monumental scale. We just got the official word tonight, and we explained that this night CANNOT survive with this kind of sketchy scheduling; they understood and agreed to work this kink out.

So just to be explicitly clear, we've got every Saturday this month aside of the one this weekend (1/10).

There you have it.


In other news, I signed up for classes today...some math and sociology. Thank christ I am able to do a payment plan since I don't get paid til next week. So uh, yeah. I hope everyone had a good week and New Year and holiday season and any birthday parties,mitvahs, anniversaries, funerals or weddings I missed...hope you kids had fun doin whatever the fuck you were doing the last 7 days. I'm off to go fall into a coma until my alarm goes off. Night.

Things that make me go bonkers:

1) The Metallica/Power-Ballad Power Hour for the last two hours of an 8.5 hr shift of waiting on drunk assholes

2) Fat, stunted hairy men 9mos prego with triplets in a skin tight custom silk-screened "Natty Light" wife beater. Kicker: actually flaunting their tank top and hitting on me drooling out the side of their mouth while smashed, chunks of food taking up residence in their beard

3) FUCKING CLUB DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4) Finals

5) The goddam Freemont Street Experience

6) Downtown parking

7) Bills

8) Getting stiffed on a few checks this week and having it come out of my paycheck

9) The few days of PMS leading up to my rag


Besides me hating each of these things equally, the commonality these things share is dealing with them in the last week. I've got two finals this week, am cramming for them as we speak, and just hope this week is better than the one that just got over. Seriously. *here's to being "optimistic"*
