Assimilation one year anniversary wrap up   It’s hard for me to believe the year is whizzing by so quickly. Seems like just yesterday I was wrapping up the underworld party, yet here I am wrapping up the Assimilation one year anniversary. This show had multiple interests for us. Firstly, we were finally going to get to meet End: the DJ after sponsoring the Chrome Elemental tour and promising that we were going to get off our lazy butts and get that interview done one of these days. The second thing was that we were finally going to get to have Darkfaery Girl Maven at a show where we could get a picture with her. (see our myspace photos) The third thing was that we love going to Tulsa and staying over because we love hotels! Why do we love hotels? We get to take a break from the phone, the computer, and the cats! I’m sure the cats are glad when we leave overnight too.   We spent the week before Assimilation taking flyers to various locations and encouraging everyone we could round up to go with us. At one point some people gave me a flyer and didn’t realize I had started the circle. That happens to me a lot when we go out and promote and I still think it’s funny every time. We got through the stress of figuring out who we were going to ride with at the last minute as usual and got to Tulsa the day of the show at 4:30 pm and checked into the hotel. We gathered up our decorations and tub of promotional materials, Darkfaery girl applications, and headed to the Marquee. We got caught in a loop of one way streets AGAIN and didn’t make it to the club until 6 pm even after we said we’d be there at 5:30 pm…happens every time. You know how when you go inside wal-mart you blink and it’s been two hours? That is how it is for us and one way streets. It doesn’t matter who we ride with either.   I was surprised that we managed to get the streamers and balloons up, get our table set up, and get black table cloths on all of the tables in time to have a beer and relax before the doors opened. That never happens, we are always still setting up ten minutes after, so maybe the one way street Gods were kind to us this time.   So let’s roll out the thanks on this one. First person I have to thank is our Darkfaery Boy Promotional Director James and his beautiful wife Darkfaery Girl Trista, for going beyond the pale at every event we are a part of. Couldn’t do this without them and in this case it would have been a clusterfuck if James hadn’t been there to help when Z got sick from the heat, smoke, and not enough food. Because of my medical problems I count on Z for everything and when he is out of commission I have no ground to stand on. Thanks guys for helping me cope with the stress. Thank you cell phones.   Many thanks to Evan for funding our room and gas, his donations to Darkfaery Subculture Magazine are limitless and I am sure he gets tired of paying for so much, but he does it anyway. He even went out of his way to pay admission for some of the Darkfaery boys and girls who didn’t have money with them. As always, thanks to my Darkfaery Girls and Boys for representing. Specifically, Mistress Eve, Rayne, and Alice for being on top of things that I didn’t even think of, for always offering us hospitality and trying to take care of us. Thanks for having our backs, and sometimes our fronts! (wink wink)   Thanks to Darkfaery girl Pumpkin for giving us a ride and telling me how great I am all the time, even when I am yelling at people.   And Finally, Thanks to the Assimilation crew and Re:Mission Entertainment for having us out and slapping our logo on the flyers, we appreciate that. See you at Combichrist!
