Dark Force Fest Booty

“Lazy post is lazy!”

Those who kept up with my multi-part recap of Dark Force Fest are probably thinking, “what else could there possibly be?” and “Who does this guy think he is, James Joyce or some shit?!”

Well, I wanted to make a supplemental post dedicated to the items I picked up from the independent artisans who were vending their wares throughout the weekend. There was some truly exceptional talent on display, and I was glad to pick up what I did (even if I don’t have a practical use for everything).

As a bit of an ulterior motive, I also wanted to whip up a quick post while I attempt to cobble together my thoughts and emotions regarding Skinny Puppy’s “final” tour stop in Philadelphia (stay tuned!).

A nice stack of new-to-me music
Partial band-merch haul (also picked up a bunch of T-shirts), and the wristband I had to gnaw off after the festival
It was the first con/festival for Tiny Killer Carnival (and hopefully not the last)
I’d purchased from Matthew Lineham at a con years ago (Monster Mania, maybe?), and I couldn’t pass up these pun-tastic holiday ornaments

Thanks also to Macabre Queen Studios for the keychain bracelet and October Cult for the surprise gift I’ll be giving my girlfriend on our anniversary or her birthday (depending on how long I can wait).

The full list of DFF vendors can be found here.

(Harley Quinn beanie baby from Forever Nerdy; Lizard picked up a super-cool Pinhead with actual nails through the head!)
