    PREPARING FOR CHANGE
    AS ANNOUNCED ON THE VARIOUS LISTS, I HAVE DECIDED TO CHANGE A FEW THINGS ABOUT MY NIGHTS, FOR BETTER OR WORSE REMAINS TO BE SEEN. THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS GOING FROM ONE NIGHT A WEEK TO ONE A MONTH, WITH A FOCUS ON MAKING THAT ONE NIGHT AS BIG AND ENTERTAINING AS I POSSIBLY CAN. IN THE TWO YEARS SINCE STARTING UP THIS NIGHT, MY PERSONAL LIFE HAS BECOME NON EXSISTANT AND MANY THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE REMAINED IMPORTANT, HAVE BEEN DELEGATED TO THE BACK BURNER FOR FAR TOO LONG, INCLUDING MY HEALTH. SO.. IN ORDER TO BETTER SERVE THE MASSES, THE MISTRESS MUST BE HEALTHY RIGHT?

    THESE ARE A FEW OF THE THINGS I WILL BE FOCUSING ON:

    WORKING WITH KHROME AS MUCH AS I CAN SO THAT MY WEBSITE WILL BE BROUGHT UP TO DATE.. YEAH, I KNOW, THE SAME OLD PIX HAVE BEEN UP FOREVER.. AND I PROMISE, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING MORE UP, AND BY NOW, THERE ARE SOOO MANY THAT NEED TO BE SCANNED, AND PROCESSED AND POSTED. YOU WILL FIND PIX OF YOURSELVES, SOME FROM THE VARIOUS LIVE SHOWS I HAVE BROUGHT TO TOWN, SOME FROM THE FETISH NIGHTS THAT SEEM TO BE SOO POPULAR, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A GALLERY OF JUST MY DJ'S... SO YOU CAN PUT A FACE WITH A SET LIST.

    SPEAKING OF SET LISTS... WE HAVE DROPPED TO BALL ON THAT AS WELL. MY MIGHTY WEBMASTER IS A BUSY BUSY BOI AND DOES MY SITE PRO BONO AND UNDERSTANDABLY PUTS SCHOOL AND THE PAYING CLIENTS FIRST, SO ASIA (SON AND HOUSE DJ) HAS BEEN WORKING WITH HIM TO GET THE SET LISTS UPDATED.. BUT I WILL HAVE TO GIVE HIM SOME EXTRA PUSHES TO GET THE JOB DONE.. NOW THAT I HAVE MORE TIME TO BREATHE!

    MY ONCE A MONTH ADVENTURES WILL INCLUDE OCCATIONAL FETISH PERFORMANCES BY DELILAH BOREALIS AND KASUAL TEASE, LIVE ACTS LIKE BOZO PORNO CIRCUS, CONTESTS LIKE GOTH BITCH 2002 (THE SECOND ANNUAL DRAG QUEEN CONTEST FOR US) AND THEME NIGHTS. AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, I WILL HAVE ON SITE VENDORS THAT CATER TO YOUR OFF THE WALL NEEDS, LIKE FETISH COSTUMING, TOYS, WHIPS, PADDLES, AND EVEN SOMEONE WHO WILL COME IN AND DO YOUR HAIR! AND AS ALWAYS, I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE OFFERED.. IF I CAN GET IT, IT WILL BE DONE!

    THE NEXT NIGHT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PLANNED AND EXECUTED!

    WEDNESDAY MAY 15TH I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT BOZO PRONO CIRCUS.. AN INDUSTRIAL BAND OUT OF TEXAS WITH A NAUGHTY FETISH ACT. FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE EARLY IN THE EVENING, I WILL BE CROWNING THE 2ND ANNUAL GOTH BITCH! THAT IS AS LONG AS I CAN GET THESE SHY GOTH BOIS TO COMPETE!

    DJ PARADIGM SHIFT FROM ATLANTA WILL BE JOINING US AGAIN TO SPIN THE DARK ALTERNATIVE MUSIC YOU LOVE. AND WITH HIM COMES HOUSE OF MEDUSA, WHO WILL HAVE HAIR PIECES AND FALLS AND ALL THINGS LOVELY FOR YOUR GOTH OR CYBER LOOK.

    KAREN COX WILL ALSO BE ON HAND AGAIN WITH HER GOTHIC CLOTHING, FETISH TOYS, SHOES, ETC.. SO COME PREPARED TO SHOP!

    DOORS WILL OPEN AT 9PM AND THE COVER WILL BE $5.00 FOR ALL, THIS IS A LIVE SHOW AND THIS IS A DAMNED GOOD PRICE FOR ALL THAT WILL BE OFFERED THAT NIGHT!

    JUNE'S NIGHT IS IN THE WORKS SO STAY TUNED!

    LOVE YOU ALL

    Dissonance is featured in the news paper
    sorry it has been so long since updating this, upon losing that last assistant, i have not attempted to find another. the last one lashed out at me in such a way, i doubt i will trust another to do what is expected to make this night successful.

    here is the article that appeared in the Birmingham Post Herald on March 29th,2002

    http://www.postherald.com/bets.shtml

    i am hoping this link will continue to work for a while...

    i will start posting setlists in here again as of april 10th, which happens to be the 2 year anniversary of having this night. so far i have some fetish demonstrations planned, a cd release party for the Kidney Thieves, with a ton of those to giveaway, plus to signed copies.. and some vinyl!

    also if all works out well, a fetish wear contest... and a few other things i am not sure will work out.. my dj is travelling from atlanta, DJ Paradigm Shift...

    more as detail develope!

    REVIEW OF FETISH NOIR PART II
    I recieved this very detailed review of the show thru email and obtained permission from its author to post it here, so that you might get a pretty clear idea of what the show was like:

    Fetish Noir Part Two
    Featuring Delilah Borealis and Kasualtease

    Sponsored by Club Sacrament and hosted by the Studio,
    Fetish Noir Part Two
    presented a show that blended elements of gothic horror,
    sexual fantasy, and
    the trappings of S&M fiction with the mystique of
    old-fashioned macabre
    carnival sideshows....

    Fetish Noir consisted of a series of well paced vignettes
    (their direction
    helped by the consultation of the Modern Gypsies, a local
    performance art
    troupe), small scenarios that explored debaucherous
    interaction between
    hapless victims with hidden sexual appetites and their
    perpetrators/would-be
    liberators.

    The evening began with a processional of the participants
    in the fashion of a
    carnival come to town, with Delilah Borealis as
    ringmistress at their lead.
    Her entourage consisted of two or three vixens, Delilah
    Borealis’ own slave
    boi, two carnies or assistants, a fire eater, and a number
    of costumed
    support dancers. In chairs around the dance floor/stage’s
    perimeter sat
    numerous onlookers, many of which were decked out in
    enticing gothy and
    fetish attire. Also present were a number of more benignly
    dressed gawkers,
    perhaps part of the Studio’s typical crowd.

    Soon one of Delilah’s two vixen accomplices was manacled
    and held fast as she
    examined her would be prey. The vixen was then suspended
    hand and foot by a
    rope rigging and hoisted above the floor. In this elevated
    state she managed
    to change positions from fetal face up to convexly spread
    eagle and finally
    to an inverted stance. All the while this vixen was spun
    around, whipped with
    a riding crop and cat of tails, as well as clipped with
    clothes pins on the
    underside of her thighs. All though only two clothes pins
    were used I noticed
    a couple of the more timid appearing audience members wince
    with gleeful
    recoil.

    There were other dramas as well. One included Delilah
    Borealis spinning a
    power grinder into her own metal-plate-fitted cod piece,
    from which the fire
    performer lit a cigarette. Another began with a nerdy
    dressed boy and bookish
    woman timidly holding hands. But before they could find the
    means to express
    their myopic affections, Delilah Borealis and her two
    vixens dressed as
    biker-inspired thugs accosted the two pulling their clothes
    from their bodies
    and “forcing” them to crawl around on hands and knees.
    A third presentation
    teased the audience with the silhouetted images projected
    from behind onto a
    screen of strap-on wielding women violating one another
    repeatedly.

    Sewing the seem of each vignette together were dancers that
    sometimes acted
    also as minor support characters. Throughout the evening
    they changed
    costumes a number of times. They dressed as mannequin-faced
    virgin-slut
    brides, unrepentant Catholic school girls, and of course
    temptation teasing
    devilettes.

    One of the featured scenes began when a man and a woman
    were pulled from the
    audience, stripped to their under garments, and handcuffed
    separately to two
    free-standing posts. They were spanked, whipped, clothes
    pinned, and drizzled
    with candle wax before being returned to their places
    beyond the spot lights.

    The show concluded with a stunning display of fire eating,
    breathing, and
    juggling. This performance, on its own was simply amazing.

    For a local troupe, the spectacle of this show was well
    wrought. It stands as
    homage to fetish-themed rock band concerts like those of
    Gen and the
    Genitortures or the Lords of Acid. Again, it too rests on a
    long and
    traditional foundation of carnival sideshow spectacles
    wrapped in a cloak of
    the lustful, spooky and bizarre. Their contemporaries
    include the Jim Rose
    Sideshow, The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, and Cirque Noir. I
    look forward to
    seeing Delilah Borealis and the Kasualtease’s routine
    develop as their own
    sense of style and originality matures....

    Getting caught up
    Got the day off of work today due to some flooding in my building so i had free time... imagine that! Watched some tv, did a touch of cleaning, played with my grrls twice. Sacrament has been a roller coaster ride for the past few weeks... the fetish night went very well with a record breaking crowd.. too bad more of them were not my usual crowd. Marilyn did a wonderful job with the show and we plan to do this every other month from now on. Plus she donated her proceeds to the benefit that was held the following sunday. Now that was a horse of a different colour. Things started to fall apart the day before with one of the bands backing out at the last minute..could not be avoided. Then it all started to unravel from there... guess my expectations were way too high.. got to learn not to believe anything any tells me... the crowd was not as big as estimated, the bands were not forcoming with the large amount of people we were told to expect, the food was at first meager, then far too ample for the crowd that did show.. the auction was total confusion..sigh.... oh well, i did try... and i will have a nice little check to send to the new york police & fire widows and children relief fund...
    the whole event left me drained and butting heads with everyone... so glad it is over...

    on to the next project.. halloween...

    A BUSY AND SAD TIME
    I HAVE BEEN BUSTING MY ASS TO GET THIS BENEFIT TOGETHER, SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE, THE BENEFIT, NOT BUSTING MY ASS. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE NEWS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK.. I WAS SHOCKED AND DEEPLY MOVED BY THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS WHO ACTED WITHOUT THOUGHT TO THEIR OWN SAFETY. I READ THE POSTS ON THE DARK ALABAMA LIST AND FELT THAT WE ALL SHARED THIS SADNESS, BUT AS TIME PASSED, IT SEEMS ALMOST EVERYONE HAS MOVED ON, FORGOTTEN OR JUST NO LONGER CARE. I KNOW THIS CANNOT BE TRUE, BUT IT SEEMS THIS WAY. I REACHED OUT AND ASKED FOR HELP TO PUT THIS EVENT TOGETHER, THINKING WE WOULD ALL RALLY AND RESPOND MUCH IN THE WAY THE WHOLE NATION SEEMED TO HAVE RALLIED, BUT MY REQUESTS FELL ON DEAF EARS FOR THE MOST PART. SOME HAVE OFFERED HELP AND SUPPORT, AND THIER OFFERS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED, BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE SAME FEW THAT ALWAYS SEEM TO BE THERE. FOR ONCE, I THOUGHT, WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING HERE TO FOCUS ON, A TASK THAT COULD MAKE US ALL FEEL LIKE WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BUT ITS NOT THAT WAY AT ALL. ITS THE SAME FEW, PULLING TOGETHER AND MAKING SOMETHING HAPPEN. THE REST, I DONT KNOW, I GUESS WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS JUST TOO FAR AWAY FOR IT TO MAKE A MARK ON THEIR LIVES. OR MAYBE THE OVER SATURATION OF NEWS COVERAGE WAS TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR THEM TO DEAL WITH.. TOO MUCH LOSS, TOO MUCH CHEESY PATRIOTISM, TOO MUCH "GOD BLESS AMERICA". MAYBE I AM JUST GETTING SOFT IN MY OLD AGE, BUT THIS EVENT OVERWHELMED ME AND MADE ME WANT TO HELP, TO AT LEAST OFFER SOME SHOW OF SUPPORT. I CANNOT IMAGINE BEING THE WIFE OF ONE OF THOSE MANY FIRE FIGHTERS AND WATCHING THE NEWS UNFOLD BEFORE ME AND KNOW THAT I WOULD MOST LIKELY NEVER SEE MY HUSBAND, THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN, EVER AGAIN, DUE TO SOME STUPID ACT OF INSANITY. SURE, PEOPLE DIE EACH DAY, PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LOVED ONES EACH DAY.. SOME SAY SO WHAT? IT HAPPENS.. WHATS THE BIG DEAL? I DONT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT BECAUSE I CANNOT COMPREHEND THINKING IN THAT MANNER... IT JUST SEEMS SO HEARTLESS. SO I ASK MYSELF WILL THIS BENEFIT BE WORTH ALL THE HOURS I HAVE SPENT ON THE PHONE, ASKING FOR DONATIONS OF FOOD AND OTHER ITEMS, ALL THE TIME I HAVE SPENT EMAILING AND FAXING AND CALLING PEOPLE TO TRY TO GET THIS EVENT ADVERTISED... ALL THE SLEEPLESS HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO DO, WHAT DETAILS I HAVE TO DEAL WITH TOMORROW... HOW MUCH FURTHER I WILL BE GETTING BEHIND AT WORK CUZ I AM SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH TIME FOCUSING ON THIS PROJECT... WILL IT MATTER IN THE LONG RUN... WILL ANYONE SHOW UP? SURE, THE FRIENDS AND FAMILIES OF THE BANDS WILL COME, THE FAMILY OF THE COMEDIAN WILL BE THERE... MY BOSS MAY EVEN STOP BY... BUT WILL THE PEOPLE I THINK OF AS MY FRIENDS COME? WILL THE PEOPLE I HAVE UP UNTIL NOW FELT SOME SORT OF KINSHIP WITH COME? I DONT KNOW... MAYBE I SHOULD NOT CARE.. AS LONG AS OTHERS COME AND WE ARE ABLE TO SEND THOSE FAMILIES JUST A LITTLE SECURITY FOR THE FUTURE, MAYBE THAT IS WHAT I SHOULD FOCUS ON.. MAYBE THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.. MAYBE I NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP.

    Sept 8, 2001 I have finally gotten some sleep and can update this thing. The past few weeks have been very eventful. I had Heresy Night (aka catholic school grrl nite a few weeks ago, and ended up staying open longer than i ever have on a wednesday nite. The following week, i had the gothic prom, which required more work and planning and was exhausting but alot of fun. Jim Beeler from the tampa area came to spin and was great. Have yet to hear from the guy that took the prom photos tho, and that concerns me. The next week was a reunion night with my oldest son coming home to spin along side my youngest son. It was a very fun night. the following night i hosted my last live show for the time being with the cruxshadows and bella morte. the night got off to a rough start for the bands when the cruxshadows and car difficulties, which put the band into a not so great mood upon arrival to the venue, understandable. Set up and sound check took a long time but the show still started at a decent time. Bella Morte asked me to introduce them and put on a great show. I really loved the last two punk like songs they ended the set with. I just wish they had had those songs on something other than vinyl! Next i introduced the Cruxshadows and the performance was amazing! Rogue did his usual very personal one on one interaction with just about everyone in the venue... they were blown away. I really wonder what will happen to this band when they reach the stage where they perform in larger concert halls and such, what will happen to the interaction? It will be a shame to see it disappear. Many autographs were signed, many photos were taken... and i think eveyone went away happy. This was by far my most successful show to date and i can only hope both bands will return in the future! thank you to everyone that made it out, you are all wonderful and i owe you alot! a very special thank you goes out to Mike C. and Heather, who drove to this show from Atlanta, after having hosted the very same show the night before, I love you!

    August 21, 2001 After two very difficult weeks, one involving closing down early due to some damage to the venue, not our fault i assure you, and the second involving a difference of opinion resulting in the loss of my house dj, I can only hope that this weeks little theme night, consisting of catholic school grrls and nuns, will help to put some momentum on our side. Some great news, I will be picking up my twins this weekend! Twin grrl sugar gliders! I cannot wait to see them!

    August 6, 2001 I have finally gotten my wind from last week's event. The Nosferatu Ball went very well and brought in alot of people. We had a costume contest at midnight and to the winners we gave bottles of Vampire wine, we gave out some vampire condoms, and had a CD release party for Glampire. All in all, it was a blast. On to the next idea!
