Wow, I'm late to this topic. Came on here to check out some concert talk, lurked for a long while, and finally posted - either about soccer or baseball first, I'd assume. Checking the board every day helps to while away the hours…

Understood, won't happen again.
By the way, I just realized I became a member on October 2001, when David Byrne played at the 9:30. I guess I had some questions regarding the availability of tickets. Now that I think of it, I think David Byrne in 2001 was the best show I have seen in DC. I hate not to be in DC for his shows at the Birchmere in June.

I spent last night trying to remember and I still don't.
I remember lurking for a long time to pick up some new bands, then something pissed me off and I tried to sign up but my screen name was already taken. Who the hell would have that screen name? So I tried my screen name and password and it worked, but I had no recollection of ever signing up in Oct of 2001. I'm guessing I had a comment about a show (it might have been Social D or Richard Ashcroft), was probably given the ritual newbie treatment, thought you were all a bunch of assholes (though I remember calling the lot "elitist pricks" at one point) and moved on. If I only knew it was just a right of passage….
Anyhow, a few months later I had 2 extra passes to "24 Hour Party People," hooked up with Markie and Lulu for the movie, met Thirsty afterwards for a drink with the two of them, now 2-3 years later I've moved far away and still am a regular poster.

There's a dude on
www.sharingthegroove.org with the screen name "vansmack". He posts all the NOFX concerts that he tapes.

That bastard - I'm going to have to take the Clear Channel approach with him and wipe him off the planet!
I did sell my first email address vansmack@aol.com to a popular radio show host for an undisclosed sum back in 1994-95. I simply signed up for MSN instead and haven't changed that address since.

I was in college when I signed on to the 930 board. So that must have been around 98 or so. I'd head down to the 930 every so often so I figured I may as well get to know some people there.
A lot of the board chatter was similar. Lot's of britpop fans. People kept on talking about this new night called Mousetrap over at Metro Cafe. There was also some continuous thread called Return of the Lesbian Avengers.
Originally I used my name but then lost track of the password so I switched over to the moniker I use now. As Mankie says, it is habitual but I have been posting a lot less than before.
