Tripping Down The Rabbit Hole

       Last night I was wondering what rabbit hole I was about throw myself down into as I  drove  through Jacksonville, Florida . The  rabbit trail ended up at Club Endo Exo 1224 Kings Avenue. The club itself  is  a little on the small side but don't let it fool you. The amount of  creativity in End Exo was enough to fill the Staples Center. The creativity part was fueled by The Infernal Doll Factory and their fans.  I stepped into Endo Exo  with IDF  and out of reality. The show IDF put on was Mad Science Tragedy and Taboo. The costumes right from the word go were amazing. It's a burlesque show but not like one you have ever seen. It was done tastefully  and with class. This wasn't one of those throw it together and see what happens shows. You can tell they take their time and carefully consider what they are presenting.  The show was a modern burlesque adaptation of the classic German legend of Faust and the Devil. Mix the legend of Faust in with a little of Rob Zombie  and you have pure originality. I am sure the Devil and Faust wouldn't be disappointed.  A burlesque show? I couldn't go to that. You would go running to it  if you saw this one. Imagine this if you will.....the music is pumping, drink in hand and on your right is the most exquisite woman you've ever seen in a latex nurse outfit. To your left  is a very  well dressed handsome young man all in black with multi colored dreads. The show on stage is something straight out of Rob Zombie's dreams. Here's the kicker .... everyone is actually nice. The only brooding  and contemplative looks from last night was when everyone was putting their costumes on before the show. If you want to take a trip down the rabbit hole and feel like Alice for a night I suggest this Endo Exo with Infernal Doll Factory and their fans. The whole thing had me waking up this morning knowing what happened and  wanting more. It was straight out of some movie. The Matrix, Alice in Wonderland, Johnny Depp, whatever you like or fancy to be for one night you'll find it or see it here. Come with an open mind and some kick ass  boots!
