Before we had the Airbnb upstairs, we would let some special guests stay overnight on the drum riser - replacing the kit from Head Like a Hole, Wish, Killing Joke: Official and Ministry Cage Tour with an air mattress. Surrounded by the drum cage with the Gub backdrop hanging overhead.

We wanted to recreate that feeling, so we went to Home Depot, built a four poster bed out of gas pipe, and added the wonderful Gub bedspread from Threadless

Same vibe, but a lot more comfortable.

Happy birthday Al Jourgensen. What an influential groundbreaking figure.

I was dragged into the world of Ministry in 1989 and it certainly sent me on a trajectory for which I am forever grateful. One of the reasons I moved to Chicago.

A central figure in industrial music.
Happy Birthday
