Also: “The Cogless Steampunk” Last weekend, after an amazing all-nighter rave called Rumpus, I heard about another all-nighter called Imaginarium – a sci-fi/fetish themed event. This one, unlike most of the others, required some sort of effort be put into your costume. At previous events, considering I’m living out of a backpack, I hadn’t bothered […]
London
Aaaaand, I’m Back in London
Big surprise, huh? I can’t seem to stay away from this place. But I have an excuse!

April 19, 2012 When on the road, some days are just like this. It sucks, but you have to just suck it up and chalk it up to the experience, or whatever makes you feel better. I really liked my time in Poland – the women are gorgeous, the food is cheap, I spent time […]
