I just hope someone gets a pic of TheatreTech. I miss him around here!

Why don't you come and see for yourself?


You'll have to crane your neck a bit, but it will be worth it.

Sorry - I totally got your meaning and didn't mean to imply that you thought I should stay home. I'm just in a purist pissy-pants mood at the moment and personally hate the thought of going if I can't "do it right".

I've never been much of a goth - though I had fun portraying one once or twice. I know you're going to say it doesn't matter but it does to me. Hope all you guys have fun!

Back when I was Ur-Goth (before there was a name or a uniform) we just threw together a look from our thrift store finds. There was a bit of Norma Desmond, lots of lace, leather, velvet, lots of black, much hairspray, intense make-up and a bit of Vampira. That's my Goth.




Oh, and we wern't allowed in Disneyland back then.

The peanut gallery next to me just suggested that we go as Visigoths. Sadly, I could probably pull that one together by the 9th.

Hahaha, that would be hysterical.

Sorry, but I was not about to spend money on clothes I would wear only once a year to Disneyland. So I went to many a goth day as a punk. In fact, this year, I'll be goth in the morning and much more punk at night (in white). There's no right or wrong.

And I was NEVER a goth, but always had a blast on goth day. So staying away because you're not a real goth (you'd frelling need a time machine for that, btw) or because you don't have the "correct" thing to wear just seems kinda silly to me. But, ya know, I'm not you and it's none of my damn business.

If you don't want to go because it doesn't float your boat, that's one thing. But declining because of clothing or authenticity seems quite a stretch.


Hey, I'm not here to convince anyone to do anything they don't want to. But a simple 'no thanks' will suffice. No need to rationalize just not feeling like it.

I remember Ur-goth, and not being allowed into the park...which honestly is my attraction to attending bats-days now. Still, I've got a premiere of a little flick I worked on that night that I'm going to be attending instead. That would be The Lost Skeleton Returns Again. Swanky...and now I'm on IMdb lol.

NA's picture and the image of Pru as a visigoth make me giggle. Awesome.

Goodness knows I'm not exactly known for my goth tendencies, but it's good clean fun to get your goth on for a day amongst all the other folks. Most people just wear a black t-shirt, seriously. If you're wondering, I have pics from 2007. Obviously I mostly photographed friends and fabulous folks, but if you look around the background you'll see most folks, seriously, are just wearing black t-shirts.
