By the way, let me also say that I greatly appreciate your aesthetic sensibility. I particularly like your Victorian gothic gaslight & shadows self portrait. Reminds me of the iconic shot of Max Von Sydow in the Exorcist (one of my favorite films). Thanks for creating & capturing... ~T

Come one, come all to The Bowie Ball @ The Great American Music Hall for one night only!  6.5.09
Featured performers are: Barry Syska's Fantasy Orchestra (http://www.myspace.com/barrysyska)
and 5 Cent Coffee (http://www.myspace.com/fivecentcoffee) and DJ MzSamantha and more.
 859 O'Farrell Street
San Francisco, California 94109

You might have heard of Bowie.

In the 60's he was Davey Jones, a potential British Invader who's name was robbed from him by a Monkey.  Still, who can forget The Laughing Gnome?

In the 70's he was Major Tom, The Man Who Fell to Earth and Sold the World, Ziggy Stardust, The Diamond Dog, and The Thin White Duke...

In the 80's he rose from the Ashes, turned into a vampire, was promoted from Duke to King (of the goblins - talk about Scary Monsters!), fell into Modern Love with a China Girl, and we all took shelter Underground as The World Fell Down…

In the 90's he dawned a White Tie, took a step Outside, and became an Earthling.

This is our chance to celebrate EVERYTHING Bowie.  All in one night.

It promises to be an event to remember!  Come in costume, come to spectate, come to dance, but you'll regret it if you don't come.

Dance lessons for "Absolute Beginners" from 8:30-9:45 consist of two rotations and three instructors teaching Swing, Waltz and Blues dancing.  In these lessons you'll learn the basics required to fully participate in the Ball to follow.

DJ sets by MzSamantha from Clockwork and The Box as well as special guests to be announced!

$15 in advance, $20 at the door
Buy you tickets now to make sure you get one!

Greetings, Mr. Blight!
Your "general interests" make me think that (on a surface level) we'd be the best of buds. Yes, I just said "buds".
That's not to say that photography, the circus and coffee are uncommon interests, but interesting people with interests in all of the above and few and far between.

I probably should have just sent that in a message. This is far too long for a comment, pfft.

I'm sure I'll be seeing you again soon, sir!

We only want you for your braaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiins....





It's time to get fancy and bloody!

Come enjoy a night of zombie madness! We'll be there, along with many of the bay area's best burlesque!

Bring a date/dinner and be sure to take your prom photos.

Too lazy to do your own makeup? There will be a makeup booth for $5 a pop.

And be prepared for a costume contest! Winners will be crowned this year's prom king and queen!


Be sure to pick up a copy of this weeks SF Guardian, the Zombie Prom gets a mention, and is on the cover!
