COAGULA is the coagulation of all matters of the heart. You wanted a Bloody Valentine, and here it is, except we aren't focusing on romantic love, instead we are focusing on self love and self expression and our relationship to our community. We want Turnstiles to look like the infirmary, except the beats are the only thing sick here.

We will be raffling away one of The Crazy Rat Lady's Bags! Pictures will soon be posted in the discussion section.

The Crazy Rat Lady's Bags
This month we have The Crazy Rat Lady’s Bags as our Featured Vendor! Specializing in horror and pop culture, their hand made bags and carriers cater toward the creepy and macabre. Founded during the pandemic shutdown, this local small business was started to pay for vet bills for the founder's pet rats. To date, thousands of these bags have been sold and are floating around in the wild from coast to coast!
And last but not least, our CHVRCH MVRCH table will be back with stickers, t shirts, and hoodies and other oddity odds and ends.
🦇Suggested Attire🦇
Lovesick? Lover left you on Red? Did you leave your heart in 2025, or are you looking to have the shriveled black thing removed? Whatever your reasons are for life putting you under the knife, we have something to help you deal with the agony (agony). Are you ready for surgery?
We want to see your hospital nightmares come to life. We want to see gauze, gowns, scrubs, and we want to see them used and utterly contaminated with fashion.
So, splatter it in sanguine reds, smear it in ink as black as your soul, we want you to give us the only gift straight from the heart -Blood-, and we want you to leave it all on the dance floor*
*For liability purposes and to avoid injury to self we recommend not spilling real blood on the dancefloor, at least not your own.
🎶Remember, CHVRCH is a community space that is unified beyond venues, borders, and cultures. No matter who you are or where you come from, you're welcome here as long as you're willing to respect others. We will always look out for each other and strive to make our space as safe as possible. There are plenty of people who feel they don't have the correct attire for a goth night, but we don't judge. Goth is a feeling. If you come with respect and dance with us, you're one of us. Whether you're draped in black, relaxing in jeans and a hoodie, decked out in drag, or covered in neon green - you belong here at CHVRCH.
Fuck the Hallmark holidays and the expectations it imposes on us
