2024 Year In Review
Overall, 2024 was a great year for me personally. Professionally was iffy. Highlight of the year and my entire life: meeting the legend, goth-punk icon, love of my life Dave Vanian less than two weeks ago in London of all places. I can't see anything topping that. It was truly special getting to see The Damned perform at the legendary Roundhouse, pretty much a hometown show, and MxPx performing in their hometown of Bremerton, WA! Also was successful at having monthly karaoke this year, the last time was in 2019. Went to 22 shows but 24 were in the books.

Unfortunately my high school classmate passed away on his 39th birthday from a disease he had been battling for years. I do regret not visiting him in the hospital when I had the chance. I truly believe that his untimely death was the catalyst for me releasing a story I've been working on for the past 26 years. I started releasing it as an ongoing series. It's about teenage superhero cats. Links below:
