Vampires aren't just iconic figures of literary fiction. They aren't just in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans either. Today's guest, Mikael Kage, is a real blood-drinking vampire, and he's here to educate people about his and the whole Houston vampire community's existence. If you're in the Houston area, it's probably no surprise that we have a community of real vampires here. You're probably already familiar with Numbers Night Club and the diverse subcultures that make our city a great place to be yourself and connect with others in alternative lifestyles. If you're not in Houston and unfamiliar with our culture of acceptance, or if you love the vampire community as much as we do, listen to this episode to learn all about it from the King of the Houston Vampire Court. Learn about how Mikael Kage practices safe blood feeding, the different types of vampires, the purpose of the HVC, Mikael's supernatural healing powers, his religious background, his poly relationship with the Queen of the HVC, and what to expect from this year's Houston Vampire Ball (May 15 -16th). If you suspect you're a vampire or have already been awakened, follow HVC at https://www.facebook.com/TheHoustonVampireCourt/ and get involved with the positive mission of this community.
