Jack Boulware, the author of Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day, wrote a nice remembrance of Jennifer. It is nice to see that the SF Weekly also felt like the SF Weekly hadn’t quite given her what they should and rectified [...]
As we go into 2012, I’ve been reflecting on how this is the final year of Blue Blood’s second decade. I’d really like to get more of you into the VIP, so we’re extending this sale to Blue Blood readers, making everything as inexpensive as possible; I wish it could be free. The last time [...]
I’m pleased that multiple sites, photographers, and talent in Blue Blood’s SpookyCash have also received nominations this year in the AltPorn.Net Awards for excellence in altporn.

Is it wrong to kiss and tell? Does it make a difference if you tell just one person or millions of people of just three people but one of them tells millions? This week, the internet is all aflutter over the Karen Owen Powerpoint presentation. If you are not up on your Duke sex scandal [...]
My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some more nice press this week, so I thought I’d share. Backstage Passes: An Anthology of Rock and Roll Erotica from the Pages of Blue Blood is currently the featured book review on BlogCritic.com. FC Etier, writing for Blog Critic, explains that his Aunt Maude used to describe [...]
Are ray gun vibrators steampunk? This is the sort of question I lie awake at night contemplating. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction, which builds on the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Now H. G.

A long long time ago, in a land far far from here, my friend Julia Winter and I were going to a show at Toad’s Place and went driving all over Connecticut beforehand to hole-in-the-wall military surplus stores. We found one which had a huge sort of vat enclosure, full to the brim with pairs [...]
