Death Guild and an Anniversary

Fourteen years ago yesterday, Martin and I got married at the Valhalla Renaissance Faire in South Lake Tahoe, CA. If you want more details (with pics), go to this post.

We started off on Monday night with a meetup at Death Guild, a weekly goth/industrial night in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge.  (Why they picked Monday nights for this is a puzzle that will trouble me to my grave!)  Almost all my favorite goth friends were there, including Wendy and Winter, and although I'd never heard most of the music before, there was some danceable stuff.

Here is a pic of me at the club:

 

Then yesterday, on the actual Day, it was sleeping until 9:30am (good heavens!!), then lazing around the house most of the day (except for going to the mall), followed by takeout from our favorite Chinese restaurant, Tin Fu.  We ended the day by watching "Grimm" episodes that we taped but hadn't seen yet.  What could be more enjoyable???

Next year, though, we are going to P.A.R.T.Y. (hopefully) with a Renaissance/Goth-themed renewal of our vows at Valhalla!!  We've already starting making tentative plans, so stay tuned!

  1. Happy Anniversary!!! ❤

    Sounds like a fun couple of days... although being the homebody that I am, the sleep-in, Chinese takeout, and TV sounds particularly heavenly! ;)

    1. Thanks! We've become more homebody-ish than we used to be, so it turned out to be just perfect!

    1. Thank you! I just hope it won't be quite as stressful as planning a wedding was. And the best thing is... I still have my wedding outfit, AND it still fits!!! ::smug smile::

    1. Thank you! :-) It WAS pretty perfect, except for getting started 20 minutes late because my mom and aunt got lost trying to find the staging area! But a friendly vendor sent them in the right direction with a guide, so they found us!

    1. Thanks! It IS pretty fun, and not so crowded that you can't dance without feeling like you're in a mosh pit!
