Please join me, my RenSpace friends, as we welcome His Majesty, King John of France, to our Realms! Alas, King John's Palace has not yet been properly set up; so I was wondering if those of you who are already Royals could come to His Majesty's aid.

We look forward to hearing of the many doings, comings and goings from the Royal French Court! Huzzah!

If there be one thing I dislike more than any other, it is making plans in a real big hurry. Far too many times have I had to put up with this kind of behavior, and more often than not it creates more problems than it solves --- and, left untreated, the results tend to go disastrously wrong.

That is why control is ever essential to my continuing to be in the collective face of my fellow New Yorkers. Without control, there can be little more save chaos. And chaos will no longer be tolerated by this Wizard for the foreseeable future. Therefore, I have quietly linked meself to NY1.com and CNS News.com, because I can sense that I shall need to further enlighten meself in the ways of the Multiverse, lest I remain ye proverbial techno-dinosaur.

Maintain thy brain, Mumsey dearest used to tell me. And by Merlin's beard, I'm certainly going to devote my next adventures to achieving that very goal! Hast thou a problem wi' that, Milord?

Today, and because I feel like it --- and besides, it's Friday anyway --- your humble Dragonmaster proposes a toast to Her Majesty, Queen Isabelle of Spain, she who ruleth from the Riverssance Faire at Sioux City, Iowa.

She has reigned over her happy Kingdom with much kindness, and fairness for all her subjects --- the good stuff that always goes with being the Big Royal Boss Lady at the Renaissance Faire! Huzzah! and hurrah!

Today, I thank the Archer, who rules these merry dominions known as RenSpace.com, for having put your humble Dragonmaster in the Shire Spotlight this day. The work has been hard, but hard work is not without its share of suffering! As New York City's Unofficial Wizard, I battle with every passing moment to do all in my power to encourage the Spirit of Imagination within my fellow New Yorkers.

Yesterday, however, when I learned that my Official Rock Band, Lordi, was going to do the November 6th Late Night w/Conan O'Brien, I became incredibly tense and quite aquiver with anticipation. Obviously, dearest Lorne Michaels had noticed how much I've written about the Monstericans in this particular blog, and of course, in my Diary of Magecraft (for those of you keeping score, this is RenSpace Blog Entry #202, by the way).

Alas, this knowledge has cost me dearly, for, despite being tremendously cheered by this news, I could not compensate for it during my evening slumber. As a result, I am this dawn once more your typical grumpy old Mage.

At least, however, I'm happy, for that be the more pressing concern. Now plans must be made, schemes must be worked on --- and the dark spectre of "What next?" raises its cold head. What, ultimately, will I do in the end? Truly, were there e'er a moment to utter the very words to be continued, this would certainly be it!

I look forward to greeting you Mortals at the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. See ye thither!

Well, here we are, dearests, at Missive #201 in this ol' Blog at RenSpace.com --- and look who's just dared to surprise your humble Dragonmaster! My Official Rock Band, Finland's lovable beasties themselves, Lordi, will fulfill a longtime wish of mine: that of making their American television debut on NBC's Late Night w/Conan O' Brien! Huzzah! This, I believe, would be the Thursday, November 6th episode; and it coincides with the release of the band's new album, Deadache! and its first single, Bite It Like a Bulldog --- not to mention the DVD/Blu-ray release of Team Lordi's very own movie, Dark Floors!

And as if that's not weird enough, Lordi's Deadache! in America Tour, featuring Lizzy Borden, Stolen Babies and Fixer, sees the Monstericans making seven House of Blues appearances: Houston, Dallas, Vegas, San Diego, the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Cleveland and Chicago --- before wrapping things up back hither in ye Byg Appyl on November 24th, at Live Nation's Fillmore @ Irving Plaza!

Oh, by Merlin's beard, this is truly an unexpected but long overdue surprise for me! And it be one I would willingly brave the cold to be a part of, if only for the sole purpose of meeting Lordi and fiends in person! I just hope they'll tolerate my presence! More to the point, I hope I don't wuss out on this, either! More to share soon, Mortals! As ever, stay ye tun'd!
