Howdy. This forum seems pretty quiet so hopefully people actually exist here.
I'm Chris. Just moved back to the Coast from the Interior. I have a six piece deathrock band in the Interior called The Civil Dead and will be bringing them down to play soon. Otherwise I'd love to meet some new people and start going to events. I'm more of an old school deathrock/cowpunk sort and huge fan of Nick Cave, Swans, The Body, dark americana, and lots of weird experimental sounds.
Today is Chinese New Year's day today, and it's happy shoe day for me. On January 3rd I ordered a pair of classic winklepickers from The Gothic Shoe Company of Essex, England, and they arrived today. These are hand-made shoes so the five weeks for delivery is not just the shipping from the UK to this, the western fringe of the old Empire, but the time to make them to order. Because they are made to order they will do custom work, but for a first order I chose to go with an "off the rack" and simple style.
