I’m not the biggest fan of New Years parties. I like to use the changing of the year as an opportunity to reflect on the past year, what I am happy about, and what I wish would be better. I do make New Years resolutions and I like that they help keep me on track [...]

As the year draws to a close, I am pleased to share that Backstage Passes has been a Dark Delicacies Bestseller. Dark Delicacies is perhaps the most famous horror books store in the world. For those of you in Southern California who would rather pick the book up in person, you can stop by the [...]

I’m pleased that Blue Blood’s SpookyCash affiliate program has been nominated for Specialty Affiliate Program of the Year in the 2011 XBiz Awards. SpookyCash is kinda like the Amazon referral programs a lot of folks participate in, only it pays promoters more. If you run a high traffic gothic or punk or tattoo or fetish-oriented [...]

It has been a really really really good news week. First of all, the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, or DADT, was repealed. For those of you who have been living in a cave, because you hate our way of life, DADT was a Clinton-era piece of legislation. DADT was designed to make it [...]

Honestly, the bags are probably the only items I’d used if I got comps in the mail. But I can’t help appreciating the viral [...]

True to my word, I went to the BOOM Holiday Party at Meltdown Comics yesterday. Luminaries in attendance included writer Kim Krizan, artist Lawrence Snelly and Dave Ehrlich from Chronicle Books. Forrest Black and I spent much of the evening chatting with them about cooking. Larry, Dave, Forrest, and I are all nouveau homemakers, so [...]

If you are in Los Angeles and looking for something to do tonight (or just interested in stalking me), I plan to be at the BOOM Comics holiday party at Meltdown Comics this evening.

My freezer is approximately half full of frozen tentacles. To put this in perspective, I have a really huge freezer. I like to make homemade frozen dinners and generally have around thirty to fifty of them in there at any given time. Plus ice, the occasional pizza, and all the usual freezer items. And I [...]

2033: The Future of Misbehavior is a collection of science fiction vice tales, compiled by the editors of Nerve and apparently sponsored by Svedka vodka. The front matter reads, “Instigated by Svedka”, but I’m going to go out on a limb and believe that instigated means sponsored in this instance. Although it could just mean [...]

A couple nights ago, I made cupcakes, for the first time since I was a kid. I learned that (a) there is a reason to have those little paper cups in there, (b) a popover pan is actually not as analgous to a cupcake pan as the uninitiated (i.e. me) might guess, and (c) there [...]
