I help run darqpress.com, I'm a photographer, musician, and I dabble with a few other things... I just want somewhere I can voice my opinion, and post things that aren't always relevant to my projects. What you read here in no way reflects the views and opinions of my associates.

Negativity at the Rob Zombie show
There was a very negative occurence that took place on May 7,2010 that I feel
needs to come to light.
I attended the Rob Zombie concert with my brother and his friend. We bought
tickets far in advance which came to be almost $50 a piece, we waited in line
like everyone else.
I met up with a few friends inside, waited for the show to begin, bought
nachos, everything was fine. I was standing talking to a friend close to the
stage, when I suddenly felt two arms wrap around me tightly and lift me off the
ground, I was spun around and halfway set down, as I tried to ask what was
going on and contain my composure, I looked to see two very heavyset men,
leading me out into the hall, and refusing to say anything the entire time,
then straight out the door past the steps all the way to the sidewalk. They
released their grasp, turned and walked off. I turned to two employees standing
right there and asked what happened. They replied they didn't know and didn't
care, and told me to leave.
This was witnessed by several people, including clients of mine, because I am a
professional photographer,webmaster and professional musician. This was clearly
a case of mistaken identity(I don't know how they could mistake my identity, I
stand out in a crowd), or someone lied to the staff and got me thrown out. I
was doing nothing but enjoying the show.
I have photographed the bruise they left on my arm, I didn't notice it, only
that my arm was sore,this is after 4 days, it still looks this bad.
I'm not exactly sure what to do about this, but I am going to plaster it on the
website I host and several other business related sites. I've been getting
email from clients asking what happened,because they saw everything. not only
was it a waste of money, embarrasing, and uncalled for, but it defamed
my character in front of several business partners and clients.
If I can't get answers from the Shrine mosque, or some type of apology or
refund, I will be contacting local media, and possibly persuing further action.
when some one is to be kicked out, they should at least deserve an answer as to
why, or a chance to explain. The bruising was uncalled for, I didn't resist,
merely tried to ask questions.
I would rather this be peacefully resolved, but I have a feeling they will blow
me off.
If anyone has further information about the evening please contact us:

But on a lighter note
Going into the pre-planning, pre-production phase of the new xXRx album this week. The only thing we know right now, is that this will be very different from our other material, utilizing techniques, styles and instruments we haven't used in this project thus far. We were never fully formed when we started touring with the pain tribe, it didn't feel ready to us, so we wrote and went with it, and just let the path make itself obvious, that got us a long way(playing voodoo fest 08,the house of shock and getting a distribution deal with FiXT), but now we are ready to go back to our original vision, and make xXRx what it deserves to be. We hope you enjoy.
Trust issues
I get it now. I keep believing in the goodness of people, trusting that they will be different. It's never different.
This weekend I was put through hell, and why? Because someone else didn't trust me, but once the truth was made obvious... The damage was done. I don't even know all of the specifics, I just know I tend to do a lot better when I stay independent, and strong. The second I let someone past my barriers, they find a way to hurt or exploit me. I'm tired, I've been depressed all weekend, and the closer I come to being able to reconcile this situation, the less eager I am to mess with it at all. I never trust my instincts, I always blindly believe in the good of people.
I'm starting to believe there is no good left.

Illness induced blogging
In bed, too sick to get up and be productive... So I'm just going to blab about the last few days... After the miss muffet(my iPod tried to change muffet to midget) shoot, we had a couple more shoots Friday, I'm just too sick to try and get them edited. Sorry to those that have to be patient while I get over this flu. Had a small party at codys last night, lots of darqpress kids showed up.
Got all the updated celldweller remix files to omnihil, and hopefully we will have a submission in the next couple days... As xXRx.
Blah blah I'm mainly typing so I don't pay attention to how crumby I feel. Going to see rob zombie and Alice Cooper this weekend, and probably photographing the 16volt, chemlab, left spine down show in a couple weeks.
