If there is one person I could write more then a book about, I guess it would be him. It's (the nick of) a very good friend of mine who lives in the Netherlands. I contacted him in the early summer of 2000, I became a member of a (now not excisting) 'club' on Excite : 'Caligula's Gothic Empire'. I do not know how to describe this club... it was a kind of 'forum' where people freely discussed religion, poetry, porn, music and a lot of other topics seen from the 'goth' point of view (if there is any). But because Excite 'liquidated' all 'adult' clubs, this club came to an end to soon...
But from this club I learned to know the founder of the club, Caligula... I was very surprised by the fact he spoke polish (although he is no pole) and because he planned to visit some friends of him in Poland in the beginning of August 2000, I more or less suggested that we should meet... which we did and which surely changed my life.
I did not only meet him, but also his friends, three members of a small polish metal band (Unholy Trinity) : 'Suka', 'Panda' and 'Kuba'. The five of us travelled through the 'Gorce' mountains in the south of Poland and we had a very crazy time together
He also introduced me in another 'fantasy' of mine, 'BDSM', he learned me to play guitar and he gave me some very important topics in life to think about.
In june this year we met again and spend some time at the seashore near Kolobrzeg... It was a crazy time and in august this year we are going to repeat it. August this year I'm also going to visit the Netherlands for the first time in my life.
Well, that I also have a special place in his heart is proven by the fact that I'm allowed to use his pictures on my pages. I really have to thank you for that, Caligula, because I have no possibilities to scan my paintings or some other art I like and I dislike copying art which other people also have. As far as I know (but please correct my if I'm wrong) Caligula is a programmer, guitarist, bodypainter, photographer and some things more.... but most of all he is one of the nicest guys I know...
UPDATE 5 sept 2001 Caligula started his own photopages. If you like his art on my pages, you probably would like to visit his pages.
