After 11ish years of creeping via other friends' paid accounts, I have broken down and become an official member. What did it was the amazing experience that was going to Blackheart Burlesque. Really, it was phenomenal, and I am glad that I spent a good bit to buy up merch.
Everyone who I met was fantastic (and I will likely be following you shortly) and I'll add some pictures from the event soon. Yay!
