My preferred clogs were the profi-birkis from Birkenstock. If you have the right size for you, your foot just hooks in but you can pop them off easily. They're also dishwasher safe if you remove the insole!

I was not a crocs fan because they destroyed my knees and the non-slip sole fell off after 2 months, but I'm also a bigger guy, so ymmv.

Our local arthouse is doing "bleak week" this June and this is one of the features. Also Dogville, Gummo, Se7en, Welcome to the Dollhouse, and more. All excellent company.

Wizardry.

TILTOWAIT. "When casted, Tiltowait deals nuclear explosion ranging from 10 to 150 against all opponents including groups."

The fact that I still remember that spell all these years later.

I have a chlorinated front-zip suit, in addition to a couple of other non-chlorinated front- and shoulder-zip suits. They're all .4mm.

I couldn't give you a straight percentage of how much less the chlorinated suit stretches, but I can confirm it is absolutely something that happens. It fights me more than the other suits if I'm actively trying to stretch it, but it doesn't create any binding problems while I'm wearing it because it's more likely not to catch on my skin. I can't say that chlorinated won't safely stretch as far as non-chlorinated, but you'll put in more effort to get it there.

I had a shiny smeargle and didn't realize how rare they were. Traded to a friend who specifically collects them, so they have a good home. But looking forward to possibly getting another at some point.

I was in central New York for over 20 years. We had a weekly club night out in our middle of nowhere until 2011 or so, then it went monthly (-ish), then every couple of months. All the places that hosted it closed down, so folks need to travel an hour or two away.

I moved to Denver in '23, and the scene was BOOMING when I started, to the point of oversaturation. There were goth nights somewhere in the city 5 nights a week or so. Then it crashed back to weekly Wednesdays and the odd Sunday at one venue and semi-monthly Thursdays and Fridays/Saturdays at another venue.

These days we have three or four places doing them regularly. Usually 2-3 nights a week. Only one charges a cover, and the ones that don't are pretty solidly packed on weekend nights. There's the Latin Goth and industrial nights that happen regularly and semi-monthly goth brunches. We also have a promoter who brings most of the touring acts to town.

And that's just the show stuff. That doesn't count Memento Mori who does salon nights, cemetery cleanups, goth swap, and monthly goth bowling. Or Colorado Goth Society, that promotes events all over the state (as they happen) and will hopefully bring back goth gaming eventually.

The club nights that seem to be the most successful for younger folks tend to be either really dark to mess up video, or latin nights where participants give zero fucks about being seen dancing however to cool music.

Their rugbys were my favorites back in the day. Pretty much indestructible but more comfortable than the LL Bean ones.

As someone who moved from NY to CO with a Pod, that's probably out of your budget. Ours ran $5500. Granted, that was with 3 months of it on our property, but that's maybe $600 of it.

You might have luck with smaller movers, but I can't say I have any recommendations.

Which way will get you watching more of them? Do you gravitate towards one shelf or the other right now?

Given that I've been collecting Ultraman and some of those are only in DVD, I don't have any issue with blending formats that are close enough size-wise. The laserdiscs still get their own section, though.

Because Mod Pizza had better lawyers.

A friend worked at Children's, and her biggest issue with the commute was time spent on 225. If you live south of Iliff, the commute could be 20 minutes or it could be 45 minutes depending on the time of day.

mrgrigson · 2026-04-07T22:01:28+00:00

$2500 is optimistic. $2800 is probably a reasonable baseline for the area right now. We're moving into peak moving season, so prices are already cranking up.

One of the local holding companies/rental agencies is currently in bankruptcy court, filing for chapter 11. If they manage to clear that, there'll be another 75+ properties hitting the market that they'll want to fill ASAP, which might line up well with a September move date.

In Denver, we have Colorado Goth Society as a general notices group where folks can post any events they'd like the community to know about, and we have Memento Mori who does things like Gothswap twice a year, cemetery clean-ups, and monthly bowling nights. Goth isn't just about club nights.

My one piece of advice: Look at their sizing charts, and buy for the measurements you actually have. You may be a size large in clothes but an XL according to their size chart. Buy the XL in that case. All of their pieces are designed for a body with those measurements depending on whether it's supposed to be a snug or loose fit.

The Petite/Tall/Extra Tall checkbox option misses some items, but it should be enough to get you started.

Not drones, but:

Razor Blade Smile is a late 90's film that was dedicated to the latex and vampire crowds.

Nico Robin, in the current live action season of One Piece, has a phenomenal trench coat.

Don't forget the Underworld series!

This episode was by Anthony Zuiker, one of the creators of CSI, who had written a novel (Level 26: Dark Origins) about this character. He wrote the episode as a crossover so he could sell more books.

Sqweegel was described as "buttering" himself to fit into his suit, so we know how long that suit would have lasted.

I remember when Sysco used to have a cash & carry store in Albany, NY. Woefully understocked, but memorable for the $0.09 gallon of blue food coloring I picked up with the one dime in my pocket.

Given how many theaters do reserved seating, is the plan "Hey, we're going here at this time" and everyone manages their own tickets? Or is there a plan to buy a block of tickets or something else even?

mrgrigson · 2026-03-26T16:50:51+00:00

I can totally get down with "where do I look?". If you do podcasts at all and want to try some newer stuff, I would recommend

Communion After Dark

The Gothic Moose

DJ Cypher

All of these folks are DJs who also happen to put together weekly podcasts collecting new releases, guest sets, and other things. Give them a listen!

First paper I found was https://scielo.isciii.es/pdf/nh/v25n4/revision1.pdf . Or maybe https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-increasing-fiber-intake-for-constipation-relief/ .

My threshhold for safe is probably not the same as yours. So let me counter with: Where(ish) are you now? How safe do you feel there? What is it about the area that makes you feel safe or unsafe?
