Ravenwood Manor

Did you ever wonder if Lassie had Munchausen by Proxy? Timmy sure seemed to fall down a lot of wells

About Me


"Serving the Underground, and Corrupting... er... rather, Converting... the Mainstream! That's my life in a nutshell!"
My name is Al, a.k.a. DJ Francis Marek, the source of the lunacy known as Ravenwood Manor (& Sanitarium).
(*Note - the Ravenwood compilations are on my Multiply site - including a glimpse of my soul in music.)
Ravenwood Manor's other sites: Multiply | Xanga | VampireFreaks.com | Model Mayhem
Ravenwood Manor Group: http://groups.myspace.com/ravenwoodmanor (open to all friends of Ravenwood)
Ravenwood Modeling , another wing of the manor, is brilliantly hosted by Lady Holly GoDarkly and Lord Nicodemus!
My Favorite Local Haunt: The Dart Room / The Dark Room
[ DJ Azrael (L), End: the DJ (C), DJ Death Mistress (R)]

Upcoming Events at DR
This is the second time I've had a Myspace account, after deleting the original Ravenwood Myspace a year or so ago due to frustration with the problems faced on Myspace. Prior to that, I was the creator and site maintainer of the defunct Ravenwood gothic web directory. For those who remember me, I appreciate your continued friendship. For those who are new, welcome to Ravenwood Manor & Sanitarium - where lucid dementia reigns supreme!
Chances are, if you have never met me in person prior to my settling down in NW Arkansas, you probably never will meet me in person - unless you travel through, or move to, our community. Although I hope to attend again some of the major events around the nation, and perhaps world, in the coming years, I don't travel much these days.
I'm an INFP type of guy, though cynicism has somewhat replaced the idealism!
I'm interested in networking and friendship. Online strangers who are seeking for romantic love won't find it here, and are advised to move on. Words of wisdom - those who are actively seeking love usually won't find it, as love tends to come from where least expected.
Check out the official Clan MacTavish / Thompson website! And for a wee bit of history, check out the Clan MacTavish at Wikipedia.
Banner Exchange: I'll gladly place your banner on my profile page, if you'll place the Dart Room , Masque & Veil Festival 2007 , Masque & Veil , End: the DJ , DJ Infamous , or Darker Beats Productions banners on your profile, and/or DJ Holly GoDarkly , Angela , and/or DarkAngel Aphrodite on your top friends list on your profile page! In addition, I'll provide link pages from my Multiply site to your Myspace and/or official website, for the international community over there to see, - and make periodic changes for you, if you wish to update those link pages.

Special thanks to Annabel Evil for the support!

-[ M&V Official Website ]-
-[ Festival Myspace Site ]-

I'm into Gothic culture, gothic fashion, music, renfaires, scientific paranormal investigations (with emphasis on the first word), history, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, astronomy, astrophysics, quantum mechanics, environmentalism & conservation, RPGs (paper-and-dice, not computer/online), fantasy & science-fiction art and literature, horror art and literature.

I'd like to meet:

People of like mind and interests!

Music:

Gothic, Deathrock, Darkwave, Industrial, Synthpop, Ethereal, Neo-Medieval, Classical, Indie, New Wave, Ambient, Celtic, Folk, Roma, Zouk, Punk, Post Punk, Rockabilly, Psychobilly. And being of the MacTamhais (MacTavish), I would be remiss if I didn't include pipe bands and "Pipes & Drums!"

Katzenjammer Kabaret

Books:

A vast number of fantasy, science-fiction and horror books... too many to list. Also, science, history and archaeology books, magazines, bulletins and journals.

Heroes:

The character Malcolm Reynolds, of the unfairly canceled scifi television series Firefly. Also, The Tick, and his sidekick Arthur!

In reality - my family of friends are my heroes!

I will be okay...

I'm going through a rough time right now... It will pass and things will be okay. I know this. And most people who know me well are aware that I always spring back and keep trying.
