Tomorrow...Philly!

The next Dracula's Ball event takes place on Saturday, July 31st and includes live performances by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Lords of Acid as well as turntable techniques displayed by DJ Mighty Mike Saga, DJ Blackwidow and DJ Xris SMack!

All ages are welcome (21+ w/photo ID to drink). Tickets are $16 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster, IsoTank.com and Digital Ferret CDs. Those with advance tickets are admitted into the club first, and are guaranteed a place inside should the event be sold out. Ticket sales for this event have been brisk and we recommend buying tickets as soon as possible. At this time, we consider it unlikely that tickets will be available on the day of the show.

Dracula's Ball takes place at Shampoo Nightclub in Philadelphia, on Willow Street between 7th and 8th Streets. The club has a large enclosed parking lot which is free, but it does fill up early during Ball events. Doors open at 9pm and the event ends at 2am. In addition to live bands, there are 3 DJs on 3 dancefloors, vendors, candy and door prizes. The official DB website can be found at: http://www.draculasball.com/

The day before the Ball, Projekt Records is holding their ProjektFest event in Philadelphia. If you're coming from out of town, it's yet another good reason to make a weekend out of your Philly trip. ProjektFest features performances by Nicki Jaine, The Twilight Garden, Unto Ashes, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, and Voltaire and tickets are $10; it's also an all-ages event. You can even get a FREE ticket by buying just one Projekt CD from Digital Ferret CDs or IsoTank. For details, see: http://www.projekt.com/festival/

A(lli) Little Assistance Please?

Today I start using the weight loss aid called Alli, aside from all the nasty side effects I have been hearing about from the get go (loose stool, runny stool and *gulp* anal leakege..) Yeah, I know ...Nasty huh? Well...I am optimistic as to the end result, and I need to stick to this program so that NONE of these side effects happen to me..Ultimately, I need to refrain from ALL fats and trans fats..PERIOD!

fun, fun, fun!

Memories Of Yesterday..& One INSANELY BAD ASS Punk Rock Record

I was first exposed to Back From Samoa when I was 13 years old and I remember (his name was ) Dan Vail growing up in Anaheim California he was 16 at the time I believe, we would often skip school to go record shopping at Beggars Banquet in Garden Grove,Tower Records in Buena Park,Vinyl Fetish on Melrose (L.A.) and Peer Records in Newport Beach,Those were some memories I will not soon forget..We became tight instantly...some may even say inseperable Hell he even managed to get me my first fake I.D. to get into (punkrock ) shows in Hollywood (which was notorious for 18-21+ shows...)He even took me to my first Punk gig Im almost certain it was a Reagan Youth & Bad Brains show in Los Angeles in 1983 @The Olympic Auditorium. The very first time I heard Angry Samoans Back From Samoa was immediately in love There were many factors that caught my ear be it the humor, anger..or just the good old fashioned tongue and cheek comedy..I couldnt tell you if it was the 3 chord riffing, the snotty vocals but this record would more often than not, find us slam dancing in my bedroom everytime we listened to this. My Mom would often flip out because she would think we were fighting, she caught on eventually LOL. But Ill never forget him for turning me onto this, and many other bands, styles of music He was quite a knowledgable guy,.....I eventually moved to Massachusetts after High School, in 1989 therefore temporarily losing touch with Dan..A few weeks later I called him to catch up on this and that, I was greeted with a tearful Family member informing me that Dan had died earlier that morning of an accidental drug overdose , I still miss him to this very day R.I.P. Dan .

Angry Samoans ~ Not Of This Earth - Gas Chamber

Finality......A GREAT outcome

Jerry FINALLY got the green light to go home yesterday after being ion the Hospital since 6/21....It has been a VERY long month needless to say..Im just glad hes home and comfortable..



On a whim, I decided to invite a few guys over to take a dip in the pool, do a bit of grilling and just hang out...It originally started as 6 guys....but grew to over 20...It was a wonderful surprise, we were quite taken back.







Its so good to have Jerry back...I think I had the BEST sleep I have had in months...we both slept like a rock....went to bed spooning, woke up spooning...WOOF!

God...I love my Husbear!

Ugh

I ended up staying the night at the Rehab Center, I swear I must really love Jerry cuz I slept like total shit! I woke up in a vile mood, even more so finding to my horror and dismay that the Rehab ONLY has DECAF Coffee! plus my back is killing me today,from that damn couch-bed in his room and waking up w/ the metal crossbar directly in the middle of my back Im sure added to it as well but at least Jerry is spry and mobile once again today, I left him this morning as he was wheeling himself downstairs for his P.T. appointment, hes looking better & moving around more normally as each day progresses, and I look forward to getting him home .....soon!

6/26 Bear Pool Party

On 6/26 our 3rd annual pool bear party was held in the outskirts of Baltimore to a crowd of about 120-130 Bears, Cubs,Chubs,Daddies,Chasers and Admirers and what a great time we had and the pictures can explain for themselves....

Unfortunately Jerry (who was and is STILL currently in the Hopsital) couldnt attend..for further elaboration please read the next entry...His presence was missed by many...especially me :(

On a brighter note.

Thanks to all who attended...and for those who didnt...

IT WAS YOUR LOSS.....................


The following pics were either taken by me...or by those who 'tagged' me in them...



























The following oics were taken by Derrick Padilla 2010

Where to Begin???

Since my last post 6/11 so much has taken place here at the bear cave, Ill give you the abridged version, starting w/ the not so good......

Jerry ended up in the Hospital 3 weeks ago w/ a nasty case of Gout, and his progress was slow, but his needs were met for the most part his Gout was in time controlled through invasive monitoring and tests galore...he ended up spending 2 weeks in the Hospital only to be transferred to a Rehab facility right around the corner from our house, fortunately??

I put that question mark after fortunately for a variety of reasons that remain to be read......check this out!

Upon arrival the Nurses from the other Hospital he just left had inadvertingly yanked his I.V. out therefore leaving him w/ a massive infection in his left arm, our first thought was MRSA...So we didnt want to take any chances...the pictures are as follows NSFW (graphic!)

7/3/10


Initially we were optimistic about this Rehab facility, in time that optimism turned into pessimism...80% of the Nursing staff DIDNT speak English...If they did, it was fragmented w/ a Jamican twang Id put it....thats not a bad thing..But it was a barrier noless. Whenever Jerry would bring a problem to the attention of the Nursing staff he was told repeatedly that "The Doctor will be in soon......" mind you, he was hearing this bullshit since he first got there (as of today) 9 days ago...And the Physician FINALLY went to see him

LAST NIGHT!?!?!?!? unfucking real, I say....

Jerry and I will be proceeding w/ the complaint we plan on filing w/ both facilities one thing after another from the Nurses giving him Insulin for his Diabetes instead of what he normally takes therefore He (Jerry) runing the risk of becoming Insulin dependant..Thankfully as of today the Doctors and Jerrys P.C.P (Primary Care Physician) FINALLY have him back on his medication regimen.....Too little too late if you ask me, But on a lighter note..The P.T. Physical Therapy staff have been wonderful, understanding, and compassionate so at least thats a ray of hope right???

Theyre expecting Jerry to come home sometime next week...I miss him so fucking bad, Im telling you, that bed is awfully lonely...I miss the hum of his CPAP machine and he accidentally kicking me ..One of MANY things I love about the big guy ;) so Im gonna bring us back to today, the infection on his arm looks a million times better & hes in great spirits,hes up and scooting around like its nobodys business too, even the P.T. staff is amazed at his resilience and so am I...I even picked Jerry up an Ice Cream smoothie from Ritas today too..he was happy as a clam!

heres a pic of his arm as of 7/7/10
