Spookycreep is tickled black and blue(_ and a little shade of green ) to be here. An Afro American Underground devoted to the punk and goth rock subcultures? THAT IS SO COOOOL. And just think, all I had to do to join you was to get out of bed this morning. If you've seen my profile you'll see that I paid a high price for my right...to be myself really.
