Musical history and Steamcon prep

[cupcake_goth]

MCR released The Black Parade six years ago today. It doesn't seem like it was six years ago, not even a little bit.

I realized they're now the band I've seen the most in concert, which is a little crazy when I also realize I didn't start going to their shows until The Black Parade era. (Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to go to Warped, even tho' I thought they were adorable and I really liked Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.) Since December 2006 I've seen them on the KNDD holiday show, the Black Parade tour, twice on the "Black Parade is DEAD" tour (also known as the "NAP, MOTHERFUCKERS" tour), and twice on the World Contamination tour. The only band I've seen close to that many times is The Cure; yes, angsty boys in eyeliner playing guitar is a thing for me.

Steamcon! This weekend! Today is my last day in the office until Tuesday of next week. This year's theme for Steamcon is Victorian Monsters, so I expect to have a lot of fun. It's also the first Steamcon I will actually be Wearing A Costume for, instead of just slightly fancier JilliWear. No, I'm not going to tell you what the costume is, but I will post photos on Saturday night.

But first, more dayjob stuff, and Goth Upkeep tonight.

I hope we will still be able to recognize you. Are you going to the tea?

I'm MCing the tea! But not in the Actual Costume. That's for Saturday night. :)

Victorian Monsters? The first that comes to mind is Jack the Ripper. I do hope you get a picture of some of the handsome men in costume, and if one (or more) of them happens to be Jack, well... think of me will you please?
