Hello!
I am selling a couple of things to make way for something brand new! Check them out here. These aren’t pictures of the actual units but they are in excellent condition.  The Variax has only really been used for recording (they can be heard on the DNBS site). It comes with a gig bag, the special Variax cable and a bag for the Line 6 XT Live.Â

So the Variax 700 is going for between 500 and 700 bucks on ebay. The Line 6 XT Live runs from 100 to 400 (though the latter is new). The bag is 65 bucks online. I’m selling BOTH units for 650 bucks with all the mentioned accessories.
Anyone interested, contact me offline.  If we have to ship the stuff, that will probably cost a bit but it’s worth it. These were used for some Abney Park songs, DNBS songs and a few other bands so they’ve got a little history.
Thanks!

I have created a store for Dark Repast. There were just too many items to make the PayPal buttons make sense anymore so I decided to find a simpler solution.Â
The new store still uses PayPal as the form of payment. It calculates shipping and it will also handle digital downloads (like the Digital DNBS CD and the eBooks). Overall, this seems to be an easier and better system than the list of stuff on the right side of my blog here. From now on, I’ll just leave Featured Items up like this (for direct purchases).Â
The link for the store is at the top of the page. Thanks and I hope you buy some stuff!

Questions. Historians are all about the God damn questions. Where to begin? How to end? What’s important? What’s not? They’re like manic depressant hamsters running back and forth in their cages until they’re finally so tired they just say ‘fuck it’ and start writing something down.
Â
Sometimes they even stumble on the truth.
Â
They face a desire to embellish or coat the facts in a more enticing format that ultimately makes them deceiving. The masses rely on the integrity of the author but if you’re naïve enough to think that someone’s being honest with their writing, you should stick to picture books and reality TV.

Military action can go many different ways from the cliché well oiled machine to the more common barbaric rabble. My particular force leaned toward the former and each unit operated like perfectly tuned independent cogs of a ten story clock.Â
Â
Ten thousand soldiers marched from our lands all the way up to the outskirts of Ambrose’s borders. Wilmot’s Corner had always been my planned launching point because it was the final trading post before entering a different province. We would follow the Iron River further north toward the Vallen Foundry which produced almost all of the armaments for the Northern Lords.

Sands: February 3rd, 1895
I am old. My dedication to the Society has taken me far beyond the prime years of youth and deposited me squarely in a pile of spent souls. Everything I have done has been for others. From the generous contributions of my family fortunes to my academic studies and even my once vibrant health sacrificed to frailty in the field, my existence has teetered on the whims of others.
Â
Â
As the head librarian of the Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society, I find myself weary while writing in my journal. Exhaustion nibbles at my drive and it only worsens as I look at all which must be done still. The other scholars move with haste all about me in the same frantic hunt for knowledge that I was known for when I was their age. Now,I can’t be bothered by any but the most  important of tasks. Perhaps this is what it means to grow old.

Some very awesome folks have taken to writing about us and we’d like to share links to their work!
Â
First off, http://www.dieselpunks.org has posted an interview about us. Hop over to their site and take a look. I have to say that I couldn’t be more pleased with this if they would’ve sent over a wheel of cheese with the questions.
Â
Second up, someone took the time to review our show at Heavens. It’s an Abney Park focused write up but since we were opening, we got to be right up at the top. Pays to play first ;). The site is: http://thescoundrels.net/2009/06/08/oh-heavens/.Â
Â
Thanks to both sites for mentioning us and featuring us on the front page and all that good stuff. We really appreciate it!!!

One can now search for Glass Moonlight on the Amazon page. Unfortunately, they take a while to set everything up so there’s no cover image quite yet (I uploaded one but that probably doesn’t count). However, despite that you can still check it out and even buy it from that site. If you have a chance and have purchased something from Amazon, hop over and give me a review!
