I got in!

Somewhere between 2 minutes and 52 years

It's a real shame we don't have a thread for cats. So, let me start. This is Edgar! He's about three years old. I adopted him in April. He's the absolute sweetest and does this little thing where he says "mwer" in his inside voice instead of meowing. I wish I could say I named after Edgar Allen Poe, but he came with it from Harbor Humane. Well I suppose I could still tell people that, it would just be a lie XD

First off our next event is August 5th. We do this the first Saturday of each month on the main floor of Villains Beastro in downtown Windsor. Never a cover charge and runs from 9p to 230a. Let me sell you on how we are different. So, I'm DJ Raev. Sergio (DJ Surge) and I started this back in 2019. We wanted to do something different from any of the previous nights in Windsor or Detroit. Originally that meant we collected a cover charge, donated it to local charities, and displayed art from local artists. Then the 'vid hit. Coming out of it we scrapped cover charge and made our charity the community. Everyones mental health took a beating, and everything is expensive. We want the community to have something to look forward to, try to provide as best as we can, and don't want anyone excluded because of money. That said, we bleed money into this. Tip jar does exist and we are always thankful for anything! In 2022 we relaunched and the decision was made to add more variety to the music, as well as sensibilities of a younger generation than Serg and I. This led to us bringing a new DJ on who has a great energy, passion, and a different approach to the genres than we do. Thus, Sterling Pepke aka [51N] joined us on decks! We still have a steady stream of local artists displaying their work at the events, and have recently had a rotation of crafters hawking their spooktacular wares too. This also saw Mel taking over a lot of our social media as well as a voice in our planning, Marci getting heavily involved in promotion/planning/music research, and Martyna getting heavily involved in promotion, planning, and aesthetics. We meet almost every month and review what has gone well, what we can do better, what feedback we hear, and what we want the future to hold. We want to provide as excellent of an experience as is within our ability to provide. So, that's where we are. We're a collective putting on a party for our community. A place for those who seek it. We are Asylum.

I see you. I see you hard.

I feel that my time is limited.

Doesn't that mean the future is unwritten? Therefore, the sky is the limit. 🌟

That depends. How fast can you eat it?

Fun fact: Not Bean is our patron saint! She named us!

Today everyone is a very retarded and aggressive driver what the hell is going on today. be careful on the streets people

Not at all. Again, as you see fit. I just didn't want to make more work for YOU. (I think you've got WAY more than enough!) ~Stu

I was free once... it was great.

~~~~~ I feel bad that you had a bad time with them. I went to school there as well as worked in the UGLY and was a Supplemental Instructor until 2002. Because they were a commuter school (didn't have dorms for long-term stay) WSU was not taken very seriously when people spoke of getting a "real" education...regardless of the fact that WSU is known nationwide for Math and Law. In order to be more competitive, they began adding dorms, upping telecommunications (where @Trene4000 worked) and expanding the administration to include more overseas programs (that's how I got to study abroad in Japan for nearly a year). Because I was part of the staff at the time, I got to see most of the "numbers" and we were still under the nation average. But I suppose if you don't have the support, it can feel like money grubbing. That is actually how I feel about LIT later LTU. They didn't want me, although I had the knowledge, because I was in the wrong tax bracket for what they were looking for. That's how I ended up at WSU. And UofM was just a bit too competitive and 2.5 times more expensive. Once you are a WSU student, you are a student for life. You can take a break, go back later, graduate, come back and study another field, etc., all with the same WSU status. I've already spoken with counselors regarding completing my degree regardless of the 10 year gap. When I'm ready, all I have to do is call.

this is Prince. He's great. Untill he's not XD hes a beautiful boy, and cuddly. But he also knocks things over and use to smack me in the face with his paws in the middle of the night.
