Doing our show The Voodoo Sisters Present: Between Dimensions at the Bowery Poetry Club was so much fun yesterday! I can't wait to see the video.

We're hoping that, for the next one, ... read more

It knocked me for a loop. Usually I consider Daylight Savings Time a holiday; I'm so frickin excited that the light is back.

(What kind of goth am I? A goth who appreciates the gothiness of the sun, which is a luminary that can kill people with its overpowering and wicked radiance. Don't you think "Sunstroke" would be a good goth name?)

Melissa Voodoo and I are so busy putting together our variety show, Between Dimensions, developing two new choreographies (one about gargoyles, the ot... read more
