Birthday Doings Summary and things to come.

So my birthday weekend has come and gone and as promised I have things to share! So my birthday event at Resurrection was pretty fucking sweet. Partially literally since DJ Pet made me some super tasty cupcakes. Sadly I didn't take any pictures of them. Pet made the place look great. Here's a video! Once again Sawtooth and Badaxe did a great job. They definitely knew their audience in this case.

I had a couple of artist friends come in with their stuff, feel free to check them out! Like dead stuff like I do? Go to http://www.frozenduskstudio.com/. The other artist doesn't have a page for her art right now, but feel free to oogle her model page: http://www.modelmayhem.com/DDinred.

Oh, I finally caved and got an Instagram. So follow me I suppose? https://www.instagram.com/ggpuck/

I'll post again next week!

Event post double feature! DITfest 2015 and my birthday night!

A lot of things happening in my world lately. Mostly really cool things. Last weekend I participated in my second Doin' It Together Fest. DITfest is an event where musician-type people put their name in a proverbial hat and are assigned a band. They then have one day to write, practice and then perform. My band was "The Jeff's." There was video taken that I will share when it's posted. For now check out these kickass photos! It's almost like I know what I'm doing! :P

Of course tomorrow is my birthday event! Exciting stuff! It's video themed so I decided I wanted to make an outfit inspired my favorite video game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Thus, I've been jokingly calling it my "Ootfit" (I know someone out there is mentally smacking me for that pun). 

I made a vine of me putting the outfit together too: https://vine.co/v/iu7WqFWQPjE

I'll write again next week!

Birthday Doings.

Well, the first charity event of my birthday month came and went. Extra-life raised over $6-million for hospitals to help sick kids. The team I belonged had the goal of $250 and ended up raising $505! Good job team!

Not it's time for the next charity! As mentioned before I'm "taking over" Resurrection on my upcoming birthday. The event page has been officially posted, RSVP >Here<. It's video game themed so there should be sweet game music remixes and feel free to dress in your gamer best.

We're using the night to raise money for Planned Parenthood! If you can't come to the event please make an online donation or at least share this with someone who might be interested.

Apologies for the lack of pictures. I'll probably vine some of these events so follow me.

Using My Powers for Good.

First off, apologies for not posting any blogs last month. October is always super busy. Normally this would be an event post all about the concert I went to in Salem MA this past weekend: DARQ presents: God Module/Angelspit/Gothsicles/Voicecoil/Mordacious! I'd normally be showing off the outfit I wore, or talking about how it was the first time I had been to Darq. Or, I'd be posting about the outfit I plan to wear to Resurrection: The Gunpowder Treason this Thursday, but this blog entry is about other things this time. It's going to be long but bear with me.

My birthday is coming up, November 19th and I am having a HUGE celebration. I'm turning 28 years old. Now this isn't a significant number or anything, there's no thrill like when you turn 21. This birthday feels special to me though. It's a long story but basically, a lot of things happened in the past year, year and a half that impacted me and my life and I'm celebrating making it through and embracing who I am. I might get into more of that story in the future. To get more to the point, I believe in "using my powers for good." What better way than to use my social "powers" and my birthday? Basically, instead of giving me gifts, I'd like it if my friends or whoever else reads this blog to help one of the following charities:

First up is Extra-Life. This charity is dedicated to helping sick kids who are stuck in hospitals. I've been participating in this fundraiser on and off for a few years now. The idea of it is that you marathon games, whether they are video games or ones of the tabletop variety, for 24 hours, all the while getting donations from awesome people. The team I'm helping out is run by the nice people over at The Cardboard Republic.

Second up, Planned Parenthood. Sexual safety is very important to me. I think so many problems could be solved if everyone was just taught how their body works and understood how important sex is and how to be safe. Planned Parenthood has helped me so many times and helps so many other people. I think it's an invaluable resource. I have started a fundraiser page, but I am also using my party on the 19th at Ressurection to raise money. There will be raffles for fun baskets full of prizes and "Sexperts" from Planned Parenthood will be celebrating with us.

Next up, The Wayne Foundation. This was started by Jamie Walton and Kevin Smith. It's a charity specializing in helping women who are victims of the sex slave trade. A thing that still happens today believe it or not. Not going to lie, Kevin Smith is an inspiration towards my desire to "Use my powers for good." Well him and Batman, Another future blog topic meyhaps.

I emailed The Wayne Foundation because I was concerned about victims that don't identify as women and Jamie sent me a nice email telling me about their partner organization More Too Life which helps victims of sexual violence of all kinds of all gender identities. So you can donate to them too if you'd like.

So if you can't donate to any of these, please share them. If you don't want to share it, just do something nice for someone. Make someone laugh. Life is hard and shitty and upsetting. The least any of us can do is something, even something small, to help relieve someone else's pain or sadness.

And to all my friends who I like to make laugh: If you are lonely and need me to make you giggle, and I'm not around, watch some of my vines. :)
