Welcome to the clean shiny side of the dark side..... I've been watching your build over on MEPD and that is one badass sandy you got there.

 

I'm a little disappointed you didn't post the photo of all the hipster fuel (PBR and the champagne of beers):

 

 

Congrats! Now what?

 

Aloha,

It's also punk rocker fuel! Haha

Nice armor and Nice tatts ! What is it on the knuckles ? TIME ... bomb ?

[ChantalChaos]

Now I wait. And check my email constantly. Next step is a new helmet and a few adjustments so I can join MEPD.

 

Hey we drank PBR waaaay before it was "hip" lol we drank it cause we were broke not too cool hahaha! Those bastards bit our style!

 

Yeah my knuckles say time bomb. Thanks for the compliments I love them too and I'm far from being done. My artist just drew up an R2-d2 in the center of a rose and I claimed it as mine...but I need to add a banner saying like "this is the droid I'm looking for" or something clever like that.

Rancid fan?

[ChantalChaos]

Yeah *hides face* op ivy Changed my life when I was a kid. Rancid soon followed...I've loved rancid for the majority of my life haha. Mostly into 70s/80s california and British punk rock though.

[Dday[501st]]

Nothing wrong with being a Rancid fan, they kick an impolite person.

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

Agreed. Op ivy was the theme music to my life for 20 odd years, and still is.

There's a pizza... There's a pizza coming...

 

I know I know...

Freeze up always sounded like pizza to me...

This coming from a metal guy whose friends were all punk! Sooo, I got to see all of the greatness like Suicidal Tendencies and GBH, , Social D, Slayer, Metallica, Exploited and even GG Allin... God help me! What a mix, but that last one scarred my memories for a lifetime!

[ChantalChaos]

Hahaha! Now I'll always think about pizza when I hear that! We're lucky that between trav and I we've seen and/or played with all of our favorite bands...too much to name really. Living in southern California has its benefits. Not really many shows out here these days though although a few years back Jesse michaels played an acoustic set at a coffee shop in riverside...we had to work but some of our friends went and he played acoustic solo op ivy songs! Be still my heart! Well never forgive ourselves for missing that one.

[ChantalChaos]

Oh and I can't even watch video of gg allin. Yeesh.

[t-bone[501st]]

He did an op ivy song with rancid in San Francisco a few years back. Probably the closest thing to a reunion. I wish I could have been there.

[t-bone[501st]]

Oh yeah we have played with gbh and exploited too

[ChantalChaos]

And if course I submit for approval on freakin celebration weekend. *grumble* this is killing me!
