Corrosion Christmas Book Drive
This Wednesday, Corrosion is starting a Christmas tradition. We're asking everyone to bring a book or two for donation to Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners. We all have plenty, really, even when things are so economically depressing, so lets consider the spirit of Christmas and do something for people is far less fortunate circumstances.

You can check these guys out at http://lab2p.wordpress.com/.

Vendetta, Alekzandr and DedSexi will be spinning the best and most varied goth-industrial, like we do. And the drinks are cheap and plentiful. Like they are.

So merry Christmas everyone. We'll see you there. Bring out your books!

Corrosion is proudly hosted at 1135 Decatur St, the Rubyfruit Jungle. Doors at 10, no cover.

Traffic Court
Has anyone recently gone to New Orleans Traffic Court? I will be out of town on my Appear By date and wanted to know how I could reschedule or if I could show up earlier than the date they gave me and take care of it then? Can someone else (like a friend or parent) appear in my place? Do I need to show up at a certain time? I know the hours of operation are 8am-4pm but it doesn't specify a time on my ticket and I wasn't arrested. Their website is worthless and doesn't provide much information. They only provide you with one phone number which no one ever seems to answer. I've left multiple messages over the past month and no one has called me back, heh. Does anyone else have a different phone number to the court? How much are court costs in Orleans Parish? I'm not from nola and I was the designated driver for my friend's bday, they were telling me where to go and they took me down a one way, so I have a ticket for going down a One Way and Rear View Obstruction since we had too many people in the car. I'd really like to keep it off of my record b/c my insurance said I'll be paying an extra $50/month for the next 35 months! If yall have any information on your experiences in traffic court, where to go, who to call, etc. I would REALLY appreciate it. My appear by date is Dec 29th. Thank you!!

this one and mostly so the bouncy thing isn't in the actual post
If you don't have one, here's my gift to you:

Saints tonight
One Eyed Jacks is showing the game on the movie screen tonight and Suplecs are playing afterward ($10). It's going to be a whole night of "Who Dat!". Just wanted to share.

Tonight, tonight
One more and it'd be a Phil Collins reference.

Now that you've had a solid day to scrape the mold off our skull buckle boots and squeeze the rainwater from your lungs, it's time to go to Shadow Gallery's fourth annual Christmas party! SEE the inimitable Leah Kahn dance with flames sprouting from her hands! HEAR the finest, darkest and most ferocious goth, industrial, swirl and death rock! DANCE the Mamuschka at 1 a.m. to compete for a fabulous $50 gift certificate from the good people at Wicked Orleans! All this and more upstairs at Maison Musique, 508 Frenchmen St., at 11 o'clock, for no cover.

Here's a flyer.

( Click. I won't bite. )

Current Music: Twisted Sister - O Come All Ye Faithful. That or The Vandals - Oi To The World

Benefit dinner
Looking for something to do Sunday night because the Saints are playing tonight??? JohnPaul's on Elysian Fields is having a benefit dinner and (aging) drag show to raise money for Slut Puppies alum T-Paul (aka Ken Gue).

Ken was suffering from some internal bleeding back in October, when the doctors went in to repair some intestinal tears they did some bloodwork. The day after the tears were repaired, he lost his job (as a home hospice nurse). There were some abnormalities in Ken's blood, so the docs called him back for more tests.

Two weeks after his 62nd birthday, he was diagnosed with lymphnoma. Lung cancer. Without treatment, Ken has six months. With treatment, he has a 40% chance of beating this disease.

So! Tomorrow evening at 5:30 PM there will be a benefit spaghetti dinner followed by a drag show at 7PM. Bring your ones, fives, tens and hundreds to help raise money for Ken's COBRA payments and treatment.

LAST CHANCE FOR CHRISTMAS DELIVERY!
Christmas deadline extended! So long as you get me your order by TOMORROW, Sunday the 20th, I will take it to the post office Monday the 21st. The USPS says it will make Christmas Delivery if mailed no later than the 21st. Last chance! Many Sales and Free Shipping on many items!

Divorce lawyers
Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences with divorce lawyers in the New Orleans area? I'm looking for a recommendation, but also names of those to stay away from.

Thanks!

p.s. This is not for me, seeing as I'm not married. I'm asking for someone not on LJ (so don't bother speculating, those of you who know me!).

Flanagan's Pub 3rd Annual Christmas Special!
Flanagan's Pub third annual holiday music video special is up now, and this year's is the best yet. My favorite bit starts at about 6:45 minutes, but the whole bit is hilarious!

Who Dat in the Oaks
Just passing this on to help City Park: Hello all WHO DAT and City Park friends. Can you pretty please pass this on for the park they need the support. Their largest fundraiser for the park is during Celebration in the Oaks and they have been raining out. With the Saints game coming on what is usually one of their busiest nights, they have decided to entice people to come out they would air the game. So please pass this on to everyone you know to come and support the Saints and the park all at one time to 14-0! Bring your lawnchairs and hope to see you Saturday. ( Read more... )

Occult titles at DriveThruHorror.com
I'm the publisher relations manager at DriveThruHorror.com and we've just recently started carrying a few non-fiction books on magic and related topics (for example The Way of the Hedge Witch by F+W Media).

I'd really like to expand our selection of books on the occult and related topic. So, I'm looking for recommendations for small press publishers and independent authors to contact about listing their work on our sites. We currently offer titles in eBook format and we have a new print on demand service launching early next year so customer will be able to get their titles in print or pdf.

If you've got publishers or authors you think might be a good fit for the site or that could use an additional outlet to sell their books to interested customers, I'd love to hear about them.

Cleopatra's temple to Isis; rediscovered
Apparently it has been unearthed from the massive earthquakes that destroyed it years ago. I find the timing very interesting - believe in 2012 lore or not - one of 'the' godesses w/ temple of all time has re-surfaced. A museum of all the underwater discoveries is in the works. It has been well preserved due to the saltwater. The learnings/discoveries from this will be quite interesting. I hope an anthropologist & archaeologist beyond the strictly academic veins are consulted as the museum comes together.

Enjoy... just in time for winter solstice!

( Flyer! Feel Free to Repost! )

I was reading a book about astral projection, was thinking about how to apply a section on healing physical injuries, and started getting dizzy. Closed my eyes and saw a very strong image of two symbols I didn't recognize. Does anyone know if these have any particular meaning anywhere?
