MOST EVERYBODY YOU SEE IN SHOWBIZ HAD THEIR NECKS REUPHOLSTERED ... 5/08/13

One of their mortal 'familiars arranged for a van... not a truck. Like one of those passenger vans that take people to the airport, or low rollers to the casinos. Clothes, supplies and all went separate. they had like an s.u.v.. I don't know who drove that. Jonathon took his books to the bank. Not to a safe deposit box. The old, vellum copies of La Ciencia Vampirismo and his journal were far too rare and valuable for that. One of the directors (Edith jokingly refers to him as 'Mr. Drysdale') keeps them in a special vault, with cryogenic preserved celebrity heads and never-seen photographs of a certain First Lady.

So they set off... Sarah and Jonathon..... Edith and Annie... Conrad and Leo (yes, Leo came back). Baylah went with her boyfriend. She was going to stay at the shore. But the rest of them would only be eighteen miles away.... maybe a little more. 'Papa' said he'd meet them there. He managed to mumble that. Jonathon shrugged and said - As you wish...... Look, what in the world could possibly happen to a twenty eight thousand year old, all powerful, young-Richard-Gere look-alike? Sometimes you gotta let these eccentric vampires just have their way.

Night rides over the bridge and into Jersey are fun. Annie loves them. Driver takes little secondary roads, so they avoid all the suburbs and commercial stretches. Narrow, little two lane highways cocooned in over-arching trees. No lights. No people. Hardly any cars. Edith tells ghost stories. Sarah listens to old classics on her iPod. Think now she's got 'I'm Being Followed By A Moon Shadow.' The rest were mostly quiet. Occasionally Jonathon says something in Spanish to the driver. They chuckle. It's cozy. 

They go by a little farm market, all shuttered for the night. It's like a landmark to the vampires. Edith says - Good bye, Philadelphia. Hello, Pines..... every time they pass it. And the trees get even thicker. Jonathon says - Turn off the headlights..... The driver looks at him..... Jonathon says - It's all right. I'll keep us on course..... So the driver does. And they slice through a darkness complete and absolute. Every so often there's a break in the overhead foliage and stars shine through.... much more than you see in the city, but that only adds to the effect.... Jonathon begins to whistle his favorite 'hunting' song ----- When you go out in the woods tonight, you're in for a big surprise.... Sometimes it's the last thing his victims ever hear.

And that's when they start to appear.... The creatures, I mean... Small scraps of life with very reflective eyes. Some shine yellow, others orange, or red. They dash 'cross the road and dive into thick, ancient hedgerows.... The driver says - Want me to put on the lights?..... But Jonathon goes - No, don't disturb them..... One is not so small and according to the height of the eyes must be at least seven and a half feet tall. But that's all they can see. Then they hear hoof beats (somewhat muffled by the carapace of the van), as it takes to the air and disappears...... A full grown Jersey Devil - Jonathon whispers.... The driver goes - Uh, huh..... He's scared..... 

Edith goes - Ray!!! We're home!...... But they still have a way to go.

Annie turns on her little phone thing. Leo goes - Turn that the hell off!.... He likes the dark. Most vampires do. But she says - No. Shut up! Leave me alone! ... as she continues to surf. He goes - What the hell you readin' that's so important?..... Little Annie says - I'm readin' 'bout all the bastids in TV and movies what got their necks reupholstered......Who? - says Leo.... She shows him. And they quietly sit, head to head, reading the juicy gossip (though out of consideration,  he shades the light with his hand), as they glide through the nighttime magic.

Edith begins to laugh suggestively. Mister Edith knows she's coming. And he begins to tickle her telepathically. 

The Pine Barrens are real, oh best beloveds... (of course you know we pronounce it 'be-lov-eds?) 

And everything we tell you here is true.

Billy Kravitz' vampire wonderland: Hot Pitch Makes Burning So Much More Humane

Billy Kravitz' vampire wonderland: Hot Pitch Makes Burning So Much More Humane: Roland went outside for a walk. He hates to hear this part of the story. It's like what he went through and after hundreds of years he ...An 'Auto da Fe' for a #VAMPIRE ... Going to the stake in the 'black fortress'...... People actually saw things like this. Last Inqusitional burning was mid eighteen hundreds!... If you like this episode, please click on newer posts and continue. comments are always welcome. BUT REMEMBER... this is NOT the post.

BAYLAH SAYS WE SHOULD GO TO THE JERSEY SHORE..... 5/07/13

Baylah is very philosophical about this. She says centuries are as nothing to us.... Well, at least potentially. She wants us to go to the Jersey Shore. Maybe wander through the Pine Barrens. Pass through a few ghosts. I do like talking to Red Paint people though. You've met then here before. Edith knows them. Not traditional 'Pineys,' but something else... the last remnants of an ancient North Atlantic culture going back, perhaps, to the last days of the Neanderthals. And they had settlements on both sides of the ocean.  Annie likes running through the dark woods with Pin Head Mel (a mico-cephalic kid) and Horsey Skeezix, a real nice, little Jersey Devil boy. So she's all up for this. Conrad, our new, forty year old vampire who wears Dockers pants and store brand sneakers won't like it. But, you know what? I don't care. I just want to get out of here. 

wilkravitz is still sick. Edith tried to 'pow-wow' him. But that doesn't always work. Sarah says he should take some blood. And I will tell you what's going to happen. He'll wait to just before the end, or what he imagines to be the end. Then he'll say ,' OK, alright. Give me some of the blood. But just a little bit.'..... And we will. .......(sigh) Mortals......

It was pleasant walking back from that place under the bank building, though. The night sky was clear and crisp.  And those stars able to make it through all the Center City light pollution really did look like diamonds, rather than the huge, terrifying, nuclear quagmires they truly are.  Imagine, those monstrous, hellish orbs are the font of all life. 

Not as many homeless people on the street as there used to be. At least my work did that. But, I will tell you, the hotels are going to start throwing them out, unless we come up with more money. Might have to break into The Oak Island treasury. You've heard of it, that old deep, booby-trapped, log-lined, supposedly pirate created hidey-hole for buried gold, jewels and moolah off the coast of Maine. Well, I'm here to tell you none of them 'arrrggghhh' guys had anything to do with it. Vampires did it. And it's been there since Saint Brendan the Navigator. But I won't tell you what's down at the bottom.... I mean below the regular treasure...

Anyway, I had some high quality, Australian opals. not from Oak Island, just from a box in the cellar. The little ghost boy, who died from polio, likes to play with them. I don't mind. He's a good kid. But I gave them away to people on the street. I love doing that.  These were big ones. Like smooth, Russian, Faberge eggs they were. Each would go for at least seventy five hundred dollars. And I told them that. The people, I mean. I said - Be care where you sell them, because you can get a lot of money for these..... I hope they listened. One young couple with limited finances got three.... I have to tell you, vampires, at least the good ones, love doing things like that. That's the best. 

I also passed a blood vial to a young woman searching for over-the-counter pain killers in an all night CVS store. She was desperate. I could tell. And quite near death too.... Now, she's not.... Another night-folk dividend.

I'm ready for the Pines. We're gonna go. And wilkravitz gonna accidentally on purpose get a little bit of vampire blood mixed in to those strawberry preserves he likes.  It's a thing with him. Wassa crisp bread... Philadelphia cream cheese... and Smuckers strawberry preserves..... Edith knows how much he likes it, so we never run out.

I'm going back in now. I've been sitting outside in the little back garden, talking to a raven. Ravens like night-people. I feed him cherries. He swallows them almost whole. Chickens store pits and stones in their gizzards to masticate food. Perhaps his kind does that too? Such shiny, black eyes he has. And so smart.

I miss hearing Old Castillian and classical Arabic, Sephardic Hebrew and our beloved Vahmperigo. Two of the Red Paint people know Vahmperigo.  It will be nice, sitting out in the dark, damp pines and conversing.

Tomas de Macabea..... Jonathon ben Macabi.... We both crave some peace.

I'll preach when we get back....

A SPIRITUAL IDEALISTIC VAMPIRE FACES REALITY .... 5/06/13

Jonathon quietly walked into the small room under the bank building. A handful of people were already there. Some conversed. A few ate semi-stale peanut butter crackers from the machine. One thin, young man pressed his fingers to the bridge of his nose. I think he had a sinus infection. 

The vampirino brought donuts. He had two boxes from a nice little bakery on Thirteenth Street. They smelled real good. He gestured and one of the young woman took them from him. She put them on the table at the back for later. The sinus guy said - Thank God. Where were you?..... Jonathon sighed and said -  I was all tied up. A lot of things were going on. I was on pins and needles...... A girl sucking peanut butter crackers off her teeth asked - You still a vampire?..... Jonathon said - Of course. Why do you ask?..... She just shrugged and made loud, juicy noises with her tongue...... Everyone was silent. Then he began to talk. 

What we face today is indifference. People are tired, numb and disconnected. - he said..... They want calm, comfortable conformity. and that's what we've given them. Mussolini made the trains run on time. We, and I mean night-folk, made the streets safe at night. I suppose that is still something...... Some guy raised his hand. Jonathon said - Yes?.... The guy said - My friend is a guard at the old Eastern State Penitentiary. You know, where they're keeping all the street criminals?..... Then he stopped. You know the type. Likes when people say - Yeah?....But Jonathon didn't do that. He knew what was coming next. So he just exhaled and said - I know. I know. They're getting ready to release them. Not all but most. The A.C.L.U.. And I know they mean well, but, he laughed, where were they during The Crusades or The Inquisition?.... And then he chuckled some more....... The girl who put down the donuts said - So what are we supposed to do?...... Jonathon answered - Our best. I think it's going to come down to money. You know, we tried this before on a smaller scale. Most of you know. Our Lady of The Olive Garden and what I did at Temple Rodeph Shalom on North Broad Street. They said it was mass hysteria and sewer gas..... Another guy, in one of those olive green, hip-length army jackets, like hippie kids used to wear in the sixties and seventies said - I know you know it's in other cities too. It's not just here. They said it was like an expanded flash mob. That's what they said.  Set up fake social media sites, with thousands of bogus posts, trying to make it look true.... And people believe it. Cops went into all them Seven Eleven stores selling 'toy' drugs at the checkout. Blamed it on that too..... A girl said - I heard it was rancid tattoo ink..... Some people shook their heads in disbelief. 

Jonathon said - Do you want me to end this?..... The guy in the olive green jacket said - No..... Most of the rest were quiet. They looked at their hands, or at the donuts. But they weren't bad people. They just didn't know what to do...... Jonathon said - Money changes everything. Cindy Lauper was a prophet. Well, she didn't make it up, buy you know.  So I'm going to help the poor. Not openly. Oh God, no, not openly. They'd kill me for real....... Somebody said - I thought you couldn't die?.... Somebody else said - Oh, can't you just shut up?..... Jonathon said - You're going to see some places, like expanded, better Good Will Stores. But with new merchandise, all new merchandise. Kind of like smaller Targets, or Kmarts, with coffee shops and everything.  You know each one can employ fifty people or more. Look at me. I'm an economist now.... And he quickly said something in Vahmperigo. But nobody knew what he meant. Turns out a vampire owned bank in Delaware is going to coordinate it all. But through straw men. Not actual vampires. Jeez, what do you think?  Three or four stores like that in struggling neighborhoods could really make a big difference. Look, 'shrinkage' and vandalism will be a big problem, but with the right security (partially vampire) they can keep a lid on that. And you know what they're gonna call them?.... 'MAGIC'....... The MAGIC Store.... Ads are going to say - Is it Target? Is it Walmart? Is it Kmart?... (or something like that) And the comeback will be --- No, it's MAGIC.

So the people in the cellar under the bank building discussed this for a few more minutes, before eating up the donuts.  They had coffee from a vending machine too. It wasn't 'that' bad. 

Jonathon had the tea.

wilkravitz CANNOT BLOG TONIGHT, SO I, THE VAMPIRINO KNOWN AS JONATHON WILL SPEAK TO YOU DIRECTLY..5/05/13

This time, you hear from me. I am back. wilkravitz is unable to function tonight, so I will tell the tale. These words come from Jonathon ben Macabi, also known to you as Tomas de Macabea. The old man is dead. Right now,top executives have already begun maneuvering just like Alexander's generals. Just like they did when Howard Hughes died. But I don't care. 

It's quiet now. The other night-folk are already cloistered within their chambers. Dawn comes early this time of year. I don't like that. Next month will be even worse. Annie isn't sleeping. I can hear her. She's watching television... an old, black and white version of Little Shop of Horrors.... the story of a nagging, blood drinking plant. Vampire vegetables... imagine that.... The rest of them are quiet. I'll go in and join Sarah soon too. I suppose most of you know we do not, nor have we ever, slept in coffins, just small, cozy, easily sealed off bedrooms. Though I have used excavated cavelets in cellars from time to time, but only when they had earthen floors. Even then, I slumbered on a thick 'mattress' of rose petals. Loyal 'familiars' made sure they were fresh. Sarah knows.

Edith will be up soon. She's on day-watch. I don't know when she sleeps. She naps a lot. I know that. Soon she'll go back to her home in the Jersey, Pine Barrens. Odd to think such dense woods exist so close to Philadelphia and New York, but they do.Jersey Devil run through the trees as I speak. Actually, they're really quite docile... a little skittish, but that's the equine blood. 

Tomorrow night I'll go back to that place under the big bank building on The Avenue of The Arts. I'll contact some of my devotees telepathically. They're mortals, but they understand. 

The candle smells good. Not green apple. I think this one's different. Wait a minute, let me look under the base. 'Ocean Breeze,' it's called. I must tell Edith to get more. I hate when she visits her people. I understand it, but I don't like it. Sometimes we hide in the pines too. Peaceful... I like the 'Pineys.'I like the old songs...the pow-wow magic... and the ghosts. The magic doesn't come from the Indians, well, not all of it anyway. That's just a term they use.

You know. I may not be able to change the world. I don't know. There will always be men and women like Tobias Maxwell.... and creatures like Johnny Jump Up. But that doesn't mean I won't try. It's four o'clock. The sky is black, but birds already sing. Don't they like the night? 

I know songs...old madrigals, from my early days in Al-Andaluz. Some nights I play my guitar. Used to have an oud, but that was long ago.

Look at 'Papa.' Right back into that catatonic state. What does he see in there? I try to penetrate. sometimes I manage to break through. But only sometimes. Soon he'll shuffle off to his room, if he doesn't silently sublimate through the ceiling.

The world is more aware of us now. I suppose that's my doing. There've been articles and little shows on You Tube. There's always been 'little stories.' The government, or certain secretive puppet masters, say it's a hoax, or mass hysteria.. But what would you expect. 

Now, let me close up and go to sleep...
