So DoujiCon is coming up, and I thought, why not try to go to theme here… after all, next week I’m not really going to have time to make many drinks, just down them, as I frantically attempt to get shit sorted for the unholy matrimony between DoujiCon and the Melbourne Anime Festival‘s Minifest. I’ve got to say, I’m still massively disappointed at the current lack of “fan art” involving the two mascots.

Anyway, this drink is inspired by a standard Blue Lagoon. It’s a delicious concoction that I would normally not be able to drink due to my adverse reaction to pineapple. However! There’s a delightful pineapple liqueur that a few companies such as Baitz and Marie Brizzard make. If you can find it at a specialty store, like Ackland Cellars, or order some online, you’ll be set… Otherwise just add half a shot of vodka, and some pineapple juice. Results will vary. (more…)

Steampunk is really starting to pick up in a big way in Australia. Good thing too, considering how we missed out the first time around, and only really caught on to the end of the Art Deco period for design.

From what I can gather, Clockwork Carnival is not quite a club night, not quite a festival and not quite performance art. There will be fashion displays, live piercing, a couple of events, and then some good old thumping of the subwoofer courtesy of DJs Voodoo, Cy B Netic, Antochrist & Casiono. (more…)

It’s the end of an era – Black Widows is finally shutting down. It’s a little saddening (but what on the goth scene isn’t, right?) as it was a good haunt for the people that were more than happy to take the scene with a grain of salt, a little pseudoephedrine, and a lot of good humour. (more…)
