RETRO / EPHEMERA (or, old shit)Both used to refer to what we normally just call "retro/vintage/classic"
Aka: - "back in the day"...
*I think lots of folks like to use
"ephemera" because it sounds like maybe they
understand some shit....
Anyway - welcome to the re-birth of Gothic-Iowegian.com
I had begun the initial site in 1999, and it grew to
558 pages long and tried to combine things that might have been of
interest to the Goth/Gothic community and just people in general.
But the main topic was based on humor. Sorry, I'm a bit of a closet comic
and love to make people laugh and smile. I think it worked well and,
since a strong part of being drawn towards the Goth or Gothic or Dark
perspective of life IS having a deep appreciation for the ironic,
well damn....it just seemed like a good idea.
I announced the suspension of the original site in mid-2008.
It was met with many well wishes from you all and lots of
kind remarks that I had, in fact, given you a laugh here and there.
Thank you, so much!
And....now I'm back. What can I say...despite all the hard work
the site had become, I missed having it and I still was tinkering with
images and turning them into snarky humor thingees...but there
was no one to share them with.
IF you saw the old site version, you know I was working lots of retro stuffs into
the original site and many graphics drew on things that
just worked SO well humor-wise.
So - the site is a mix of retro/gothic/dark/humor - you'll see ;)
All sections simply link direct to/from the (2) site map
pages and are easy to get in and out of as you desire :)
