One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

--Death Be Not Proud, John Donne

It has been dizzing few nights within the Nelson Imperium, Gentle Readers of the Night.  With so many gatherings in such a short amount of time, I have elected to condense my travel log into a single report.  I trust that ( Read more... )

Fear and Loathing in Portland: 9/26/2008

Were no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
All full commitments what Im thinking of
You wouldnt get this from any other guy

Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley

Some of my travel logs are more fun to write than others.  I'll let the gentle reader decide which one this was.

Truth be told, it is ( Read more... )

Fear and Loathing in Kitsap 9/19/2008

The thing about a truly great party is that it is almost impossible to create. You have to have the right mix of a good place, charming company, and a special spark.

Aaron Locke provided a delightful venue, a private club on one of Kitsap’s exclusive golf courses. It was private, yet provided all of the ( Read more... )

Fear and Loathing in Seattle 9/13: A Travel Log

They say you can never go home again. I suppose that’s true to a point. No place ever stays the same. And, none even an immortal vampire remains the same. Experience and the times change us all.

When traveling, one never knows what one can expect.

This time, I'm delighted to report in my travel log that a grand time was had by almost all in Olympia.

The lovely Giada Gialotti, Primarch of the Lancea Sanctum, hosted the event in a secured and safe location.  Olympia is lucky to have such a charming host.

I admit that I was somewhat ( Read more... )

This means I love you, he murmured
This will be our little secret
You'll wind up horribly murdered

 Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. -- Pericles (430 B.C.)

It has been said that no junkie is worse than a political junkie.  Dope fiends at the least tend to be mellow and in general can't be bothered to get off the couch.  And they certainly don't constantly bug their friends ( Read more... )

A wise man once wrote that for every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.  And so begins my strange tale of delight and disappointments about this weekend.

I dressed early in the evening, feeling a strange curiosity and I admit anxiety.  A great deal of twists and turns had occurred in the last week.

Just ( Read more... )

 There's no rest for the wicked.  No sympathy for the devil.

And thus, I found myself in Olympia on the evening of August 7th, 2008.

The Steward of Olympia, Dominic Larue, hosted a gathering in his plush estate.  It was a nice enough place, I suppose.

I had a mostly pleasant evening.  Ms. Sangiovanni was especially pleasant to converse with.  I ( Read more... )
