Igor V. Goth Circa 2015

Igor V. Goth Circa 2015

Yeah, you read the headline. Like a big-ass trade deal to keep the peace, this comes with many caveats, unclear details and could all fall apart and/or have you thinking “Really, I agreed to that? I thought that…” But we are not here to insert politics, right? This was, and may be re-become, a site diving into Japan’s indie/underground/goth scenes.

So, what is the deal here?

Thank you for asking. Igor’s daytime activities (i.e. those that fund Igor’s slab-lab) have taken his time away from web slaving since around 2010 or so (wow! 15 years). But, since Igor’s daytime activities are linked, in part, to the wonderful world of web site building. As Igor has not been doing the site for quite a few years, Igor has fallen behind on the webby stuff knowledge, which has had an increasingly profound effect on the day-walker pursuits.

End result: Igor has lost his dark edge in both worlds. So, it is now time to get into the wonderous land of webbing, and a range of tech goodies to get up to speed on both sides.

Rough timeline for re-animating the monster.

Well, I guess I am admitting by posting here that it is an active project, but it will be a slow rebuild as I re-learn, un-learn and just plain Google this stuff, to get the site up to speed.

I will be working on the backend as a start to make sure everything is satisfactorily operating for the mid-2020′s and occasionally posting updates as the muse takes… just to keep the site clicking along.

Depending on how crazy the day-walker stuff gets, I would envision a full-blown relaunch from October to January. Why such an airy-fairy estimate? Because I do not know what tomorrow may bring – so real estimates and timelines are off the table.

Updates will be posted as I go.

Yep, I will post here with updates and see if I can’t find some new events to get mindlessly excited about. So much has changed since the glory days of the 2000′s, but I am sure there are still those who celebrate the jewels in the darkness, even if they have traded the crypts for condos. Check in occasionally if you would like, Goth isn’t dead, just getting re-stitched and ready for the thunderstorm to arrive.
