Plenty of New Years sparkle. I am Poedaughterz on the Highrise game or Poedaughterz on World of Warcraft for New Year’s Eve chat. My darn concert plans for Maryland this weekend got cancelled due to problems with weather at the Baltimore Amtrak train station that made the national news so it is going to be a digital video game New Year’s Eve for me this year. At least they refunded the ticket fees. I have one million tons of homework emotionally speaking for my master’s degree night school anyway so it is not a great time to be social.
I did not make up Captain Obvious it was a book character before it was an advertisement character. I used the character as I joked in one of my previous posts that it was obvious that men should NOT be violent, killing, and abusive to wives, and was unpleasantly shocked at how many abusive Internet troll men were publicly loving the idea of hurting women. This is how women end up single and divorced like myself abusive men are very real. Prejudice against women is very much so alive and well on the Internet I am sad to say. You men only made it easier to know what people to put on user-block.
I spent the night in a Maryland death hotel. I am moving to Maryland in the next couple of years, and was staying in a Days Inn hotel in Laurel, MD while seeing tourist sites, music band nights, and working on the moving paperwork. Recently Baltimore Soundstage had the Sisters of Mercy play so I like the area’s incredible music scene. (I have seen many other great bands there, this one just made it clearly the best music scene.) Currently Maryland hotels require a hundred dollars in deposit money BEFORE you even pay for the nightly fees. Many webpages on Expedia and other booking sites mentioned NOTHING about the fees making check-in hours longer and more of a hassle than I had expected. This is very dangerous as some exhausted travelers may not be able to pay fees, and may fall asleep at the wheel. Then as I went to my room the hallway was covered in crime scene tape! I heard gun shots in the night! Then the lobby was covered in fire trucks, cops, and ambulances in the morning for check out. Another murder had happened in the night where a husband killed the wife as she was staying with another man! Here is your community service message from Captain Obvious: “Dear men getting dumped: killing the female only destroys your life more!” If the bullets hit bystanders it is a worse problem. You were dating you don’t own her like a car. What the heck is happening at Maryland hotels that they are charging huge deposits, and are covered in murder tape non-stop? I wanted a holiday adventure, but not a disaster. Fortunately I was not hit by bullets, but I did not sleep great. However the room was pretty cutely decorated in my review I give it three stars because it truly tries not to be a murder nightmare. Sadly Virginia has been an even more disgusting horrifying nightmare than the murder hotel so I still liked Maryland better as Baltimore Soundstage recently had an amazing Sister’s of Mercy show, constantly books other great shows, and Virginia had nothing at all.

Nice decorations in the room even as it was murder-central.
Many jackets on for the cold.
All hotels in the USA have this Bible due to constant demon attacks. Just joking… Maybe.
I am going out of town to be social on Christmas and New Year’s and hear bands. I am also completely single, and hopefully will meet someone to date. I do plan to move away. I tried going out in Virginia many times years ago, and just because I was making the best of a bad situation does NOT mean it wasn’t horrible, agonizing, and a bad situation.
My phone is back on, but I have switched services and numbers. My old service gave me bad issues with replacement and technical support. My old number is still active for now yet I am switching over the 2 factor authentication on all my devices soon. If you have my old number you will need the new one soon. My e-mail remains the same so people can contact me there if they need to reach me.
I had to cancel my trip to Maryland this weekend. I had tickets to see a big reunion concert, DJ night, and was meeting friends. Yet my Google Pixel phone broke, I could NOT replace it quickly, and everything was connected to that phone’s two factor authentication. The travel tickets were on the phone’s apps. My concert ticket was on the phone apps. Then how do you get around after you get anywhere if Uber and Lyft are apps for the phone, and your cheap replacement flip phone can’t use apps? Buses don’t even have paper schedules to read most of the time, and most bus, subway, and train schedules are on the phone apps. Many cab companies that use the phone numbers don’t even take cash most of the time as they are now super expensive. Thanks to my old phone being garbage that broke my trip plans were destroyed. I was really looking forward to that show and seeing Maryland friends. Oh well, I will never forget how much better Maryland music was compared to Virginia music, and I can make new plans after I get a new phone. I can’t have a broken phone EVERY day of the year as I use it daily for transportation to work. Not having a phone is like not having one of your hands in modern day.
Modern phone irony jokes. Getting transportation, cab use, and phone use is harder in modern day.
I have a flip phone now, and managed to get my phone number on there and working. I have traveled back in time to flip phone days. Everything on the Internet uses two-factor authentication, and so you can’t do anything without your number. I don’t know what made my old phone break. It was not wet, it did not drop, and it had been working great that morning. By night it barely switched on. I am shopping for a new brand of phone to use now, and got something basic until I know what new thing will work for me. They really need to stop programing phones to break. Instead of inspiring an upgrade it has inspired me to switch companies. I use Google maps to get to work, and a million other job calls are sent to my phone. It is a bad money blow for sure.

They also had many types of music nights from rock to rave there. I went to many shows at it. Music places open and close every 2 seconds in New Orleans. Trying to pretend there is one club that plays wild music in New Orleans is like trying to say one tree in the forest has leaves on it. NOLA.com just reported The Goat club has closed in New Orleans. I used to love to visit school friends that lived at that place.
New Orleans Goth bar and music venue The Goat has closed after nearly a decade
Decorated with cobwebs, the venue on St. Bernard Avenue hosted both live bands and DJs
The Goat, a New Orleans neighborhood Goth bar and music venue, has closed.
Owner Matthew Checki announced recently on social media that he had sold the bar at 1301 St. Bernard Avenue. Tuesday was its final night as the Goat
“For nearly a decade, I have had the privilege of owning and operating my own bar in New Orleans,” Checki wrote. “The experience was immense to say the least. Through every single moment of success and challenge alike I truly loved it. Now it is time for new adventures in life both professionally and personally.”
Checki opened The Goat in 2017. The studded chains, horned skull and bat painted on the Goat’s otherwise plain gray exterior only hinted at the venue’s dramatic interior décor. A tangle of cobwebs on the ceiling concealed an assortment of skeletons suspended above a chandelier. A pentagram decorated the stage floor.
The Goat featured punk, metal and other underground bands as well as deejays. For the recurring “Attrition” night, DJs such as Evil Rudy and Sneauxball cranked Goth, industrial and synth music. The Goat also hosted such recurring “rituals” as “Dark Electric,” “Splatterday Night” and “Sacrifice: The Fetish Party.”
“Eclectic in focus but united in darkness, our Rituals constitute a central component to the musical and aesthetic identity of The Goat,” said a post on The Goat’s web site. “Come worship.”
The cover photo of New Orleans surf/punk rock band the Unnaturals’ 2024 album “Sleazy Listening” was taken at the bar of the Goat.
Beyond the music, the Goat served as a gathering place and de facto clubhouse for the New Orleans Goth community.
“There are too many bands to list but thank you so much to all the incredible acts that rocked our stage,” Checki wrote. “Thank you so much to everyone who came over the years in support of our events.
“The accomplishments of the experience that was The Goat were gauged by the talent and clientele we shared our nights with. I think it’s safe to say that makes it a successful story…
