Live now coming on the show in a few mins you wont want to miss this

True or not?

Industry issues. Blackballed? Surrounded by deaths. Crossroads. Krayzie's deleted truth talks episode about hip hop and the elite. Biggie Pac Eazy dying. Career long internal problems. The bizzy drama. Ouija boards. Occult imagery in the 90s.

Thoughts?

The Larkspur one that just started. I've been to the Arizona faire 5000 times since the 1990s. I have post-faire blues right now and know that Colorado's faire is a sister looking faire to ours (I've only seen pics and they look like they have the same signs and similar traveling acts which I'd love to support and see in another realm.)

​

How unpredictable is the weather? My fear is going out there and it being closed or having terrible weather. I don't mind rain. I'm from Arizona so heat is a little more tolerable though I get it is probably a different type of heat. Our weather here is pretty much 100% HOT guaranteed every season unless you get lucky then it can be lovely beyond belief.

​

How is the parking situation? I know if someone came to AZ they have to know our faire is in the middle of nowhere basically and the 2 lane highway can set you back 3 hours or more without even getting on the property if there is an accident or car breaks down. I would feel bummed missing out on half the day do to some shiiiiit and am glad to leave early.

​

Recommendations on any local artisans unique to Colorado I could look out for and support? AZ has some lovely ones but I have no concept how much is a circuit of shops that go around the country.

​

Any ideas what city or area to stay if that is the focal point of the trip? Or just Airbnb it?

​

Any local lore to know or sites to see? Like ours in Az HAS NO KING and no one is talking about it lol. Some local hecklers not advertised as acts but are there every year that make fun of you or your group.

​

Any must try food u think might not be at many faires?

​

I think it is open June July August. Is there a consensus here on what month to absolutely avoid or go? Either due to weather or crazy crowds?

​

I can read the faqs on the site but really looking for some discussion and tips. Thanks so much I really hope this happens! It looks like so much fun.

Gonna be interesting how these two release and what the reviews and responses will be like. The new control physical steel book and extras look sick while SH has nothing physical other than the game that I can tell. And only is on ps5 for now (guessing another timed exclusive).

Is there any history of games going head to head for releases like this? I love both series and am torn but leaning towards control cuz Sam Lake is undefeated and the physical stuff is just too sweet

Wondering if there were any connections between Rosemead in LA County and Eazy or Ruthless or that time period in general?

I have had eufy cams for about 5 or 6 years with no issues. I'm running about 6 wireless 2C type cameras on a home-base 2.

I want to add a camera and I see the 2C Pro line is discontinued or replaced or something. I am seeing a ton of solar cameras now but not like a direct upgrade to a 2C Pro.

What cameras do I get? I need wireless with 2k or 4k. I love the 2c Pro. I do not need solar or wired or other specific features. I had S3 saved in my cart online to buy but just realized it is solar. I am on my eufy app now filtering but it still brings up endless variations of cameras. 2C cameras on ebay are insane ($149 for 1 new!!!).

Any guidance is appreciated. Was hoping to get an add on camera for memorial day. Best I can find is the 2C Pro bundles with another home-base which I dont need.

Anywhere throughout the valley. No groups just 2 maybeeee 3 peple.

Atticus is killing it imo. He can't be champion forever though. I've enjoyed his feuds and promos but feel like he doesn't have as many credible good guys to face as he should.

With Gage back does he inevitably take it from him? Will Manders get a run? Idk who else.

After defeat, does Atticus go to AEW or TNA or WWE? Hang around the indies? I feel like it is his time soon or he'll miss his window. I don't want that but not sure where he'd be best suited to forward his career. I can't see him staying in GCW only for the next 1-3 years as much as I selfishly would enjoy that.

Thoughts?

This post brought to you by a little bit of da siccness (I need Nyquil) or something.

My fellow gothic friend burned me an industrial CD in high school 2003 and it had SLUT by VAC on it along with a lot of other good songs I can't fully recall but led me to that genre, especially live which is super heavy and full of atmospheric energy like no other genre. Every couple years I go through massive indulgences of VAC music. Like bigtime sprees. The music is just insanely genuine such that I feel like it's the real deal of what he went through and uncompromising on subject matter or pure heart. Very authentically dark and scary sometimes cuz of where the lyrics go and how open I've read him be on some old blogs on his 90s style website (super dope). Like the music isn't just to sound dark or fit a painted face gimmick. Very afflicted artist.

I hear some of the music and I'm like this was the early 90s?! How?!?!?!?!! So far ahead of his time. And LOTS of drugs. I got to see him live 2-3 times and while it wasn't great performances it like somehow doesn't matter it was just really cool and oddly charming cuz of the imperfections and how much heart went into it. Dude connects effortlessly but somehow seems obscure and not great with people. Like a real life example of a tortured soul. A lot of self-depracating comments to the crowd at the shows (plural) I've been to.

Every so often I catch up on social media and see very few posts. A lot of selling gear and his ps5 etc on ebay. Actively streams fps games on YouTube like all the time but no views. Is this guy in his own little world?

Website not much updates. I see he resigned with Metropolis but last official release if I understand is 2019. Newer music isn't too far off from older stuff despite hoped sobriety or just humans aging and not being as wild. He's gotta be getting older. I am too. But I find his newer stuff still pretty good.

I don't ever see interviews or podcasts or anything with him and find it bizarre. What like 30 years in the game and despite a lot of engagement at times with fans online there's still a lot of mystery to me about him or his music itself. Is there a documentary? Any good in depth videos or interviews I'm missing? It's kind of fun about the obscurity but as a fan so long it is equally frustrating at times.

Then I search online and see that there were a ton of people coming and going into Velvet Acid Christ and the whole 'band' history confuses the hell out of me. How much of it is Bryan overall? Seems like it's his baby at least. But in industrial music that's weird cuz it's not like metal bands or distinct members that when they leave the entire sound shifts. I get thst diehards can probably hear things and know what members did what, but in fairness I couldn't begin to tell you outside of his obscure guest goth girl music tropes which I love (Barbed Wire Garden, Romero, Dilaudid, Slut obviously). People comment on posts the dude is a dick or jerk in real life. Does he just isolate at home? Gotta have a 9 to 5 or some kind of income. I want him to be living his best life but given the music fear his mental health might be major so hoping my GOAT has passive income. Seeing all the sold electronics though idk. I'd honestly just take a poster or signed merch or some shirts but there's rarely anything available.

Caustic Disco seems like a Marilyn Manson radio single and is the closest I feel like to a popular song for a wider audience. Otherwise, I read on Wikipedia about his history in Europe at one brief point gaining traction, otherwise it's like a really niche band to like that isn't gonna be a hit or sellout thank goodness.

So how is he viewed? Does Trent Reznor know about VAC? Did he impact the genre forever but just never that popular cuz of how dark he truly is? Seems like he is an OG at this shit but never went to the next level. Was it substance use or a bad attitude? I don't expect big things from an industrial artist but I really don't see how he fits into the bigger picture and honestly appreciate any discussion about it in all seriousness. Idk where else to ask. His fb fan group doesn't really post much either and it is public so idk if I wanna look dumb to IRL friends on fb vs looking dumb anonymously (ha!) on reddit. Whole situation is bizarre to me cuz other bands or genres do not [mal]function like this. It shapes me into three!

Thanks for reading my mess of thoughts and for any context you may have. I hope new music truly releases soon!
