My intro to the group

[jdecay at att.net]

I remember that show! Perchance are there episodes floating around anywhere online?

A fair bit has changed in ten years. This email list is generally pretty quiet - I think most of the traffic has migrated to the pghgoth livejournal community and other places. The pghgoth.com website is pretty much moribund.

About the biggest change is the closing of Club Laga and The Upstage, and South Oakland has pretty much died as far as any subcultural relevance goes. Nightsky Productions is no longer around (at least not here in Pittsburgh). On the positives, Distortion Productions and Manny are both still booking Goth/Industrial concerts and going strong. There are some great local bands around, and in greater numbers than there used to be. The only band from back in the day that still exists is Venus in Furs, though several people from the old bands have started new projects. Ceremony is still around and has moved to Pegasus.

In general, I think that the core scene has shrunk, with the exception of when the ginormous acts come through town.

Between the drugs, not taking my meds for depression and a number of other factors, I

I work for Cabela's in Wheeling, WV and also videotape hunting videos. I recently decided to go back to school and am now in school for business management. I am currently carrying a 4.0, but I'm sure as things progress and it gets harder that my grades may go down slightly. I hope not, but I have to
