So what happened to Xoetepia?

Well folkes.. of course my 3 or 4 friends have noticed by now that I'm not on as much. That dependable old me is a giant white void!

Well have no fear folkes, don't worry about me. I'm not ill, I didn't lose an arm wrestling the crab from White Plume Mountain...

What my wife and I did was sign onto a solo adventure campaign, something scary and hugetastic.. something that made me bleed, gave me mad sun burns and well.. no sleep...

We built this...

From the ground up, concept to design, to construction, to everything. We built an Artist Market where crafters, creators, antiquity dealers and vagabonds can sell their wares while eating custom ice cream creations and listening to DJ's and getting cool under a mister when the weather hits +38 celsius (100 Fahrenheit for you weirdos)

Anyhow besides my shameless plug... this is an open invite to anyone travelling Canda to come visit and if let's say you want to perform, or sell or just hang out.. visit us.. we got ice cream

Well that went somewhere. Homophobic attacks will lead to an immediate removal from the forums, and it isn't like the thread even had anything to do with it to begin with. Everything but the OP has had to be removed.

Hi Folkes,

Obviously I missed some drama. Fine, a long long time ago I would have done the same. I got kicked off the forums, lost an account or two. Time moves on and you grow up. I grew up. Enough said.

Today was the second day. I worked from 7 am till 2am. I will do this almost every day until November 1st.

Sounds awful.. but to be honest.. I couldn't be happier.

We lost money or rather made only enough money to pay our employees wages and order new product. I know that this will be how it goes for the next year or two. That is the service industry. Work harder then you think you can, make money for everyone else but yourself until one day your concept comes to fruition and you make real money. Now, if I was the kind of person that was purely mercenary that wouldn't be good enough but here is the immediate reward.. we had an amazing band play. And when I decided to relax a bit we had a few drinks, booked a couple parties for July, watched our artists sell some great prints.. and perhaps most of all.. had a ton of fun.

Perhaps one day DDO, or Comic-Con or something else that I care about might set eyes on this humble city and book a gig with us. Or perhaps, one of the many people who know who I once was, or am.. (CLAW, DWAT, IFV, Bacardi, Legion, etc etc) will come to visit. For those who want to hate.. good on ya.. enjoy the bumpy road.. it goes no where, no one cares and you die alone. For those who spend a moment to build something beautiful... well you understand what me and my wife are doing.

Cheers all.. see you in game

The 3 DJ Nights went off with a bang.. on our Facebook Page, Our Instagram and our Website have pictures.

We have a killer band on Saturday.. the opening band Phat Daphne is rockin too.. booze, dancing fun.

In fact everything we planned is going off..

Except for the things you don't plan for.

We buried Angel on Friday. She was 18 years old. A great cat. And today my cat, my daughter Freda (named after Frida Kahlo) passed away from Feline Coronavirus. I buried her in my garden, covered her in a marbled crystal stone and amethysts. Now, I'll get drunk, maybe beat up the first person who says something stupid to me. I take losing a loved one poorly.. like a dog who gets locked in a car while his owner is outside eating a cheeseburger.

Anyhow.. one great and crappy week. See you all in game
