It's Coming!

For those of you in the Greater Columbus Area who have been shirking their Gothly duties lately....I have news.

The well-loved and tragically homeless Outland Nightclub finds it's permanent residence! Ever since Outland was forced from it's home some time ago, it's been forced to find refuge in some of the city's kinder and goth-friendlier drinking establishments. Church has been held most Saturday nights at Circus (formerly the High Five) and Skully's Music Diner since May of last year, but it's time for our dear sweet Outland to find her own home once again.

The exact location of Outland 3.0 is still undisclosed, though I've been told it will be in the Brewery District. Somewhere. Apperantly other clubs also currently opening in the area (surprise surprise) don't want Outland to be there. According to their MySpace page, legal battle rages on, but the final pieces are coming together, so don't worry. The real Outland that the Columbus freak show knows and loves will be back on her feet soon.

In the mean time, keep showing up for Church on Saturdays and don't forget, there's a special event at the end of this month hosted by Skully's! Check out the CarnEVIL of Lost Souls on August 30th, presented by fetbytes.com and the Suicide Girls!

Greetings!

And welcome to my brand new blog! Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Miss Manic, I'm a 21-year-old gothling living in the midwest United States and I intend, with the aid of this blog, to share my continuing experience with growing up as a dark-and-frilly member of society.

Some quick background on myself, I am not exactly what you'd call a typical goth-type person. My personal style is all over the board from casual-punk to neo-victorian, I don't normally wear all black and occasionally I enjoy loitering in the toy section of the department store or (very occasionally) listening to R&B music. Not gothy enough for you? Oops. You may want to find a different lifestyle blog to follow.

So, as a good little gothling, I have many role models in the alternative community and continue to choose them as my tastes mature. So how about sharing some of my favorite links with you to help get the ball rolling, shall we?
