A “thank you” from Lord J…

A thank you note from Lord J of Les Temps des Vampires to the attendees of this year’s Queen of the Damned Ball…


Dear Friends,


There come times when it becomes evident that a simple “thank you” does not live up to the spirit in which I attempt to write it on behalf of this organization. This is one of those times. One week ago we held one of the most successful and well received Coven Balls that we have known in modern memory. The spirit of the Ball guests and the costumes were so reminiscent of another time that I became moved, deeply moved. All of you really stepped up to the plate and it showed. It really showed. My words just can’t express enough our thanks. Thank you all so much. Without you these events, these “reunions”, simply would not happen. We love you all very much.


It is at this time also that I would like to thank our Fearless Leader and fan club president Sue Quiroz. Darlin’ we did it again! I am so honored to be a part of this event and humbled that I am allowed one of the greatest jobs on the face of this earth. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your assistant. I am very privileged.


Thank you to Chad and Alex “Lady ~A” Savage of Sinister Visions for all the work you selflessly perform. You bring style and grace to our design and without it we would be less than what we have become.


Thank you to Jill Tracy, Paul Mercer, Unwoman, Ex-VoTo, and all the members of The Kinky Tuscaderos for entertaining us in such high style! It was a hell of a great show from every single one of you!!! After the show you continued to visit with guests and enjoy their company. You went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you.


Thanks to Ritchie Champagne and Joe Meagher for their years of service and assistance in so many areas of the Ball.


Thanks to the fan club volunteers who are vital to our being able to enjoy these events. These include Sue’s son Chris, daugther-in-law Kimberley Elizabeth, Brandi, Shayla, Mary Dugas, Jez, and so many others for your help and support all year long. (If we forgot a name, please forgive us!!!)

Thanks also go out to Gabrielle Faust and Kimberly Adkins. You were so much fun!!! We love you guys!


And here is a special word of thanks to Father Sebastiaan and Endless Night, LLC, for hosting our official ARVLFC after-party at Pravda this year and for working with the ARVLFC in cross-promotion so that we can continue to build a friendly weekend of events for all of us to enjoy. It is a distinct pleasure. Here’s to the future! Here’s to New Orleans!


Until The Blood and Gold Ball, we bid you good day.


Lord ~J
