I never went through a goth phase and am really not attracted to the dark side. I have seen plenty in real life on international projects. Nonetheless I respect Portland's myriad and curious cultural communities, each unique. Vampires come and go in the cycles of the cultural zeitgeist at large while little Portland's grey skies seem to provide an environment for them to thrive year round. Yearly they have a big costumed dance party, the Vampire Ball. 100% costumed attire is required. See their web site for details.
Bethany Ides is a semiotician at heart and she has engaged those engines to produce an engaging meditation on Lindsies. It is a one night performance, a blog of research and a chapbook.
