As I’ve been working on pulling everything for the BLT Punk Humor Book 25 Year Black Leather Times Zine Omnibus, I’ve been finding all sorts of odd surprisingly non-ephemeral ephemera from the past. Below you will see an advert which ran in SPIN magazine approximately a zillion years ago. The ad is for both BLT […]
The first time I went to a science fiction convention was with the Wesleyan Science Fiction Club when I was around 17. It was Boskone in Boston. My friend Sue and I ran around the convention in crazy outfits we hoped were sexy, meeting all kinds of people, discussing books we had previously read in […]
This weekend saw the launch of my Kickstarter project BLT Punk Humor Book 25 Year Black Leather Times Zine Omnibus. BLT was the first zine I did as an . . . well, I hesitate to say it, but as an adult. It is one of the creative projects I am the proudest of working […]
Initially exclusively available to Kickstarter backers and people in the book, California Deathrock is now being made available via select booksellers. So La Luz is throwing a book signing party for us. We are thrilled to be at La Luz, the premiere lowbrow art gallery in Los Angeles, possibly in the world. Gallery Director Matt […]

In time for Xmas gift, delivery, get the ghouls and fiends in your life a nice hardcover coffee table book at CaliforniaDeathrock.com. We are so grateful for the support from those of […]
The character of Alice from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is wonderfully iconic.

At the time, it was very radical to have a child heroine who knew her […]
The folks at Archaix Laboratories have created a deeply awesome pair of sneakers. Their slogan is, “Solving society’s problem of a lack of wearable dinosaurs” and their first production run is for green dinosaur triceratops shoes called Tricera Hi-Tops. I normally loathe all puns (except sex puns), but I will excuse the punsterism for dinosaur […]
So I think I’m going to back the Kickstarter for the SHEATH 2.0 – Functionality Where it Matters Most. I have an innie, rather than an outie, when it comes to genitals, so I have no idea whether the whole lift and separate thing would feel comfy and awesome or awful or superfluous. I don’t […]
Okay, it’s hard to avoid the serial killer jokes, when faced with an art installation of chairs designed to feel like they are made of human skin. Most folks I know, who use lifelike silicone, employ it to mimic very specific body parts. (I mean, the penis, followed distantly by the vulva, because men never […]
What you see on BlueBlood.net is kind of the Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth. I have indeed playing both drinking D&D and strip D&D (and drinking Tunnels & Trolls and strip T&T, but I’ll spare you my Flying Buffalo deconstruction.) At any rate, I think I might need the Trilogy Edition of Drinking Quest. […]
