The Return of Voltaire

After arising this morning, I plopped down in front of my desk and took my first sips of coffee. As is often the case, I grabbed my phone and took my first look at Facebook. "Ah, a notification," I said to myself. Opening it, I saw that it was an event invitation from a friend. As I continued reading, a surge of excitement ran through me. Within a matter of seconds, my morning caffeine fix became totally unnecessary (although I continued drinking anyway). "Oh wow!" I exclaimed. "He's coming back already?"

A bit more investigation on my part revealed the truthfulness of the matter: Voltaire himself is returning to Fayetteville for another performance at George's Majestic Lounge
on March 22. All I can say is, he must have had a good time with us last summer because I wouldn't expect him to return so soon. Appearing with him will be Annabel Evil from Vampire Freaks in New York City.

Today, I feel like a kid awaiting Christmas. The difference is that instead of visions of sugar plums dancing in my head when I next drift off into dreamland, I'll be seeing
Doom Ponies. The good times just seem to keep rolling on!

    1. It was a good way to start the day and I was needing a mental boost of sorts. The entire day changed direction after I got that good news.

  4. Hope you have a great night again. I don`t want this to read like a plug but if you can try to get to see The Near Dark Tour 2014 it is UK goth band The Last Cry and DJ Martin Oldgoth Coles. I have seen The Last Cry 3 or 4 times now and I love them, and Martin is a really nice guy, brilliant DJ and a great ambassador for Goth as a whole.

    1. It seems that I heard something about Martin Oldgoth touring the States this year. If the Near Dark Tour comes anywhere nearby I'll be sure to make an effort to get there. Thanks for the heads up, App'y!

    1. Aw! You should seriously consider moving here anyway Insomniac! You'd get used to the heat after awhile. Besides, I have a feeling that you'd enjoy our Foam Fest, which is held every spring.

  6. Have fun, have seen Voltaire several times at Whitby Goth Weekend and he is a hoot, and a very nice gent. Can I second A'ppy's recommendation for the Last Cry & Mr Martin Oldgoth's tour if you can possibly make it? Jane (long time lurker)

  7. You certainly can second App'y's recommendation for the Last Cry and Martin Oldgoth. Now, I'm doubly convinced I should attend if they come anywhere nearby.
