So I've mentioned in a few other posts that some things happened in this club that I didn't like at all and really gave me a bad feeling towards it in general. Realizing that my angst was really pointed towards a few things, and it wasn't the fault of the club itself I decided to take a different look with a more objective eye.
We are not a goth club. There are some things that are closer to goth, but not really that strong of a goth element within our group. It may just be that the heat in Jawja is too much for leather pants or lots of vinyl. It works for some, just not us.
We have generally just let anybody in. This is my own damned fault, when we started it was 'hey, how many hearses can we get!?' with no regard to quality. We generally did OK because the core members tended to run off those that we didn't like and the club stayed pretty true to it's roots. Sometimes just being dicks isn't enough and you have to put actual rules around who you let into the club. Not like we are talking 'hearse club elite' or whatever faggy shit wossname tried to do, but it's a family deal - and as a family we need to decide who we let in.
We are NOT a family club. We are a club that is family, but we are not a family club. What we say is not usually good for little kids to hear, if you bring your kids around don't expect us to act different. Granted, most of the kids that have ever been around us have had some 'interesting' parents to whom we could never out do in that regard. I personally don't really like kids and I know a few other core members don't either - so if you do bring your kid around, make sure they aren't annoying brats.
We like to have fun. This is pretty much a given, but it's worth mentioning anyways. We aren't all serious mopy bastards standing around with black metal face paint on, holding an axe and running through the woods reciting ancient chants to some Norse gods (while yes I do listen to a pretty good bit of Norwegian black metal, I cannot possibly take them seriously with all the running through the woods with the axe). We get together, hang out, crack jokes, talk our shit, and just general 'I dont' give a shit' going on.
So what is the future?
Look at the components of what we are and what we like in general as a rule. After some soul searching I figured it out. We really are more psychobilly type, traditional 'hot rod' group of folks and I'd like to work that angle.
I'd like to plan a get together at least once a month where we go do something or get creative with some beer and a big fire or whatever. We don't just do the Monster Bash or the Halloween parade - last year was a bit of a wash.
Stick around for more - just wanted to give everyone an idea of what was going on (translation - I've been working with my boss for the last 2 nights and I'm exhausted, so there is a bunch more I'm just too tired to type it all out)
