About Lovecraft's Wake and Wonderlust Events

Lovecraft's Wake is an event celebrating the life of Howard Phillip Lovecraft and his works, on and around his deathday.  Our hope is to shine a light on some early Science Fiction and Horror writing (although certainly not the earliest!), and to have some fun doing so.  This is about the stories, the worlds, the beings.  We consider the best sources to be the written word, but reading isn't mandatory, just FUNdamental (Sorry!).

This event is a collaboration between Wonderlust Events [Which is Aribeth Zelin and Sirius Farspire with occasional kibitzing from Elwood Joliet], Avatar Bizarre [Sredni Vashtar], and Village of the Nyght [Damia Savon], who is our host for the event.

Wonderlust Events is a couple of weirdos who somehow ended up doing an event.  In the interest of planning ahead, just in case this turns out to be a long lost hidden talent, they made a group with a more general tone, and the rest is history.

Aribeth Zelin is the one who really thinks she needs to get her head examined, or maybe her mouth stitched closed, she's not sure which yet.  She's handling the webpage, the gathering of data, and the cat herding (a skill she actually has).  She is being helped by her partner in crime, Sirius Farspire.

Sirius Farspire is the one often referred to as Beth's Lovecraft reference source, and is much better at handling people in general, though not specifically the herding part.  He doesn't have quite Beth's breadth of weird Second Life skills, but since he can walk over in the real world and get her attention if there is a problem, he can get things fixed about as easily.

Elwood Joliet is more of our period expert.  He's a huge fan of the Blues and Jazz, and also happens to be a real author.  So sometimes we can get him to share his expertise with a few blog posts here and there.

Sredni Eel was born in a bathtub and grew so incredibly thin.  He's a carbon-based lifeform, who created a name inflicting Cthulhu Shoulder Pets on the huddled masses, and grew into a paragon of all things Bizarre.  As the perpetrator of Avatar Bizarre, he creates stunningly meshy clothes, eyes, critters and avatars.  As a part of the gestalt entity bringing you the Lovecraft Wake, he has committed many booth and vendor builds.  Blame him if you fall off the platform.

Damia Savon is our wonderful hostess and owner of Village of Nyght.  This is what she has to say about herself: "I am Damia,.  I am GOD.  Cross me and face many consequences.  Worship me and face the same.  I like being naked. Dunwich is my demesnes.  Enter if you dare."
