It is the year of travel, apparently.
Check out Myk’s and X’s pictures from their trip to Oahu:

Next stop for Jared (and then Myk to visit him) - Barcelona!
Crash, Ika-San, J, Myk, and Xtine escaped the holidays to Playa del Carmen in the Yucatan. It was warm, sunny, balmy, and action packed.

Here are some photos from the 2008 Blaqua Decompression, held at the lovely home of Tar’a and the Naugasnake. The theme was “Rock’n'Roll High School” (whatever that meant), and we were all treated to a premiere viewing of the 2008 NaugaDVD.
Thank you Tar’a and Nauga for hosting an unforgettable partay.
This redesign is underway! Blaqua is now powered by WordPress, and soon, the latest version of Gallery will manage…well… the galleries. I’m playing with the design template, which is a CSS template I customized the hell out of to force it into being a WordPress Theme. Consequently, I learned some of the nuts and bolts of this WordPress thing. It’s nowhere complete, merely a work in progress. A lot more will happen over the next few weeks, so if you’re wondering where a lot of the content on this site has gone, fear not. It will be back in some form or other.
In the meantime, below are links to feeshes’ galleries and whatnot that have been on the temporary main page for months.
Blaqua will be going offline for a while while it changes hosts.
It will be back.
Stay tuned…
