Manxy Originals at worship at 6pm slt!

" 'in the end, the Germans were not trying to create the Ultimate Weapon. They were merely getting into the swim with anybody else, and they created the U-Boat simply because it was the only submarine that would be of any use to them. In the spring of 1914, Germany was looking to the U-Boat for her salvation no more than Britain was looking to it for her ruin.' " - Manx's Notice to The Manx Wharton Freakout

Retrospectacular 2010

Guess what, folks? Yes, it IS a long ways off, at least seemingly, but The Retrospectacular to Benefit NAMI (The National Alliance on Mental Illness) will be here before you know it. My co-organizer, Alicia Falworth, and I would like to announce that this year's Retrospectacular will be held Friday July 9, 2010 through Sunday July 11, 2010. This year's theme is the 1960's through the 1990's and we have several great ideas for builds and events but because those are subject to change, all I'll say at this point is I think you'll love it just as much as last year, if not more.

Also, one area we're looking to expand on greatly is the number of vendors we have. Last year, OMGWTF Barbecue created an adorable t-shirt for us and everyone seemed to love it. This year, we'd like to recruit tons more designers/content creators to make items for vendors. So, if you fit the bill, and would like to participate, please contact me, Katelynn Dastardly, either in-world, or at KatelynnDastardly@gmail.com. You can also contact Alicia Falworth in-world.

We are also looking for volunteers to help in a number of areas. Any in-world skills can be utilized as well as people with little to no skills. Don't think that just because you're not an expert builder or an expert in photoshop you can't be helpful. If you'd like to be involved or help in anyway, please contact Alicia or I in the same ways as mentioned above. There's something for everyone to do. We especially need djs, of course!

As with last year's event, all proceeds will go to NAMI (The National Alliance on Mental Illness). Here is their website, if you'd like more information:

Live Performer at worship!

If you didn't already know, every Thursday, from 6-7 pm slt, or thereabouts, musician, singer, songwriter, Manx Wharton, performs live at worship. Generally, he plays indie originals and covers, but on occasion, he switches it up and gets a lil experimental on our asses. Either way, this popular, hilarious, eccentric, and irreverent performer is one not to be missed. See ya for his performance tonight at worship!

New Musics! Witwoo!

First, NPR presents a sneak peak at Volume Two from She And Him (the collaboration between M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel). You can either listen to the album in it's entirety or listen to individual songs at NPR's website here.

Next, Jamie T has a new single out. You can download it, Emily's Heart, and it's b-side, Atlantic City, on itunes, here.

Last, but not least, The Whigs have a new album out, In The Dark, which you can buy in a variety of formats, at their website, thewhigs.com. They also appear to have at least one free song available to download on their site as well.

Lots more good music out there, some of which I'm sure I missed, because I KNOW I downloaded other new musics this week, and some of which is due to be released soon, such as She And Him's Volume Two, which is due out March 23, 2010. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this plethora of newness, as I know I will. Adios amigos. Au revoir, arriverderci.

New Poem - Rough Draft: Just An Old Refrain, March 15, 2010

March 15, 2010

Just An Old Refrain

Years ago

we began an affair

which turned into so much more than a simple series of trysts

we never imagined

we were beginning a journey

When our lips touch

each one's soft, satiny skin lingering against the other's

we're overwhelmed by sensation and elation,

emotion,

devotion.

I stare deep into your eyes,

run my hand against the apple of your cheek,

your mahagony skin smooth against my fingers.

Loving you is not easy.

It's made up of moments of bliss and frustration,

of frantic and infrequent time spent basking in each other's warmth,

juxtaposed with hours, days, weeks

of waiting and

waiting.

Oh you!

You bohemian,

train-rider,

saw-player,

serenader,

with a heart of gold and a

body my hands can't stay away from --

that v at your pelvis,

the line between your pecs,

your hipbones,

your throbbing cock,

all too eager to enter me,

and me,

oh so eager to spread my legs wide and oblige.

We come together like primal beasts,

like diners having feasts,

like scientist doing experiments,

like youngsters playing games for kicks,

it's all so decadent,

but when it's right,

it's just about perfect.

These are a few of my favorite things:

the way our hands touch when you pass the bowl to me;

the way you pass me a smoke, a beer, a plate of food, anything, really;

the way you look down at me, admiringly, desiringly, devouringly, empoweringly,

overpoweringly, dominantly;

the way you take me, the way you make me

bask in your presence,

at times, unable to voice the simplest things --

like how much this,

you,

mean to me;

or how you take my breath away,

leaving me aching and shaking,

the earth quaking,

my lips quivering,

my knees weak,

shivering,

goosebumps covering my skin,

you've done it to me again,

brought me to the brink

and beyond

and now, i'm gone --

lost on some other plane,

where only the sound of your voice,

the touch of your limbs,

can bring me back to this realm.

And god, darling,

every instant of this bliss,

this deviant kiss,

this extraordinary existence,

is a million and one moments of splendor, wonder, pounding thunder, rioting rain,

as we drain each other

until we lie limp and again begin this old, familiar,

haunting,

delicate,

wondrous

refrain.
