About Me

My profile is primarily focused on my main hobby, music; I'm a member of the alternative/industrial band "ien oblique" (see "Friends"), and one of three DJs on the internet radio show Communion After Dark . My favorite genres: EBM / dark electro / synth (future) pop / TBM / aggrotech / power noise. Europe spearheads these styles. You'll catch me supporting the scene in Tampa at Ybor City's The Castle (love Saturdays!!!) and at concerts (including Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig, Germany).

Also pass time doing digital art and military re-enacting. Link to my graphic design site blgriffin.com Military re-enactors: Click on "View More Pics" for image of my Italian Royal Army and Civil War impressions.

My Interests

Ien Oblique (see "Friends"), military history and reenacting (WWII/Civil War), graphic design/digital art, film (especially horror), concerts, Dark Horizons radio (see "Friends"), beer, Miller Lite, Ybor City's "The Castle" (see "Friends"), DC Comics, Post Crisis Supergirl, Star Trek, Joss Whedon, US Army ...
