Our guy almost blew it just because we didn't know Colonia's songs. They actually handed us a flyer "to help us learn." Honestly, I was half-tempted to call them out and demand some cosmic justice.

😲

😂 😂

I'm low-key terrified of walking into that pizzeria—having that many Colonia fans packed into such a small space? No thanks. 🙂

David Sullivan4 said:@ Kevin Chavez3:

Look, some pizzas suck, but you gotta try that one with the crazy name—you know, that one from the local pizza colony—with the chicken. It’s absolute perfection. We grabbed some at Pizza Hut this past Sunday, and man, I was blown away.

I can just picture Kevin Chavez3 ordering that thing—"Yeah, lemme get one of those crazy-named ones." 😂

and you know 😁

crimsonfalcon17 said:aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! I collect them too! I’ve already snagged two just from attending three shows!!!

Which ones are you collecting??

blueranger12 said:DIY is where the real soul is! You aren't just some corporate drone buying overpriced merch off a shelf.
😁

Man, I'm heading down to Home Depot right now to grab some bleach—time to go wild on my black tees.

😁

That’s just not it 😢

Besides, look at how much chocolate I actually eat... 😁

Kevin Chavez3 said:There you go. Always her way or the highway. 🙂

Oh, really?! What's the big deal? If I recall correctly, they came in all sorts of colors 🤔 and what else would I wear if not a The Rolling Stones shirt? Maybe some Exploited gear? 😍

🙂 🙂

They totally threw me off—what can you do? 😍

Look, I’ll find that shirt eventually, even if I have to trek all the way to Switzerland to get it!! 🙂

The funniest thing was when I was in Berlin looking for an Einstürzende Neubauten shirt (back when I went to a show in NYC with $6.75 😵). First, I completely embarrassed myself just trying to pronounce the band's name—the woman asked me "What?!" twice 😁 and then she tells me they don't have it! They didn't even have one of their CDs in stock 😕

gentlepuma20 said:We'll just have to wait and see about that! 🙂

Oh, you definitely will. 🙂

gentlepuma20 said:I mean, why suppress your inner goth? Just buy some corpse paint and go full extreme already. 😁

🙂

😬

lonebison37 said:Plus, she snagged a shirt for a third less than that obnoxious price tag. Haha! 😍

I need me a Rolling Stones shirt too. 🙂

gentlepuma20 said:Maybe try actually wearing something that isn't black for once? 🙂

😁

Look, I'll be at the club this Friday wearing either a blue or an olive green shirt. Will that be "colorful" enough for you? 🥳

David Sullivan4 said:The absolute peak was when I put on one of those things—Xiu Xiu at Freddie's—and ended up calling for help just to get it off me...

😂 😂 😂

Kevin Chavez3 said:I’m not taking a picture—I’m totally photogenic-challenged. Basically, camera-retarded.

Whatever, I'll just take a photo of that pink shirt of yours instead... 🙂 😁

My top 5 band tees:

1. Blues Explosion (that blue one with the woman on it)
2. Heavy Trash
3. NoMeansNo - Dear Ol' Dad (also an XL 😢 )
4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (LOO/AB)
5. NoMeansNo - the one with the sun on the back (also an XL 😠 )

Honestly, I learned how to drive while wearing my NoMeansNo shirts. 😁

Dead Carrot said:Stick insects are cute.

We had stick insects during a zoology lab during freshman year of college. They were hilarious. They got all confused and started swaying back and forth like they were caught in a breeze 😁 and then our TA told us you could basically rearrange them—chop off a head, poke around a bit, then glue it back on with wax and they'd look brand new 😱 except they'd eventually starve to death. 😢

But I think the group from my class ended up flooding the local woods with them because everyone thought they were being smart by bringing one home, and then that one single bug somehow reproduced itself into too manyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu specimens for there to be enough brush to feed them all. 😁

Let's see:

gentlepuma20 said:Look, I saw you with my own two eyes—you’re definitely goth.

Man, I used to have an Anarchy shirt! 🙂

Kevin Chavez3 said:There you go. You need some non-black clothes, and you need them fast.

You already know I’ve got a mountain of black clothes just waiting to be tossed. 😁

Nicholas Perez33 said:For sure. Thank God there isn't some tradition where you have to shove your head in a bag of flour before heading out the door.

That’s strictly for special occasions. 😬

lonebison37 said:And that one XX who finally caught on. 🙂 😁

😍

miss l on the road said:Lacrimosa (if vividcanyon2 is actually into darkwave, I need her to confirm she’s even heard of them)

I’ve heard of them, but I haven't really sat down to listen. Honestly, a quick skim through their discography just didn't do it for me—nothing really clicked. 🤔

James Morris7 said:Don't let them get to you, vividcanyon2. Just ignore those provocateurs. Go ahead—buy yourself another black T-shirt.

So, I told my better half that I really wanted to wear my light blue "Blues Explosion" tee this Friday—it's one of my favorites—but apparently, I got shut down. Apparently, we're going to be "overdressed." Unbelievable. 😁

Kevin Chavez3 said:It honestly kills me that The New Bomb Turks opened for those overrated Swedish hair bands.

What really gets under my skin is that JSBX was their opening act 🙂

Jon Spencer 🙏 🙏 🙏 😍 😍 😍

Seriously, all that talk about pancakes and whatever else... sounded absolutely revolting. But then my stomach started growling once you guys moved on to those fruit yogurts 😁

And just when I thought I’d dodged a bullet by not having to deal with some heavy casserole, someone brings up moussaka 😢 (that actually kind of rhymed 😬 )

moussaka 😍 😍

coastalpanther11 said:Whatever, man. It’s totally possible you just spend way too much time on your makeup to impress—well, let's just say "members" of your particular subculture.

God, I swear this guy is gonna hear about how he's out here making up lies about which groups I actually belong to. 🙂

coastalpanther11 said:Just call all three of them "opossums" and be done with it.😁

I'm gonna find out where you live.🙂

😁

James Morris7 said:There you have it. Now, unlike everyone else here, I’m actually feeling pretty bummed that I missed out. 😢

Yeah, it sucks you didn't make it.

I really should've grabbed a shirt while I had the chance. 😢

Kevin Chavez3 said:See, I knew this was right up your alley. Since you're all about that dark, goth, emo aesthetic. 🙂

I know where you live 🙂

James Morris7 said:Another punk disappointed. Just waiting on vividcanyon2 now. 🙂

The Pixies 🙏 🙏 🙏

were freaking LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously almost stayed up until 1 AM just to blast all their albums onto my MP3 player for work tomorrow, but I ended up passing out instead. Einstürzende Neubauten actually held their own, too. 😍

Even the listening area wasn't half bad 🙂 (I can already see the nasty comments coming from Kevin Chavez3 regarding that statement 🙂 😁 )

Kevin Chavez3 said:The only entertainment I got at this concert was watching vividcanyon2 lift her camera every single time a new light hit the stage—as if she wouldn't end up with ten identical shots, where nine are just a wall of fog and one shows nothing but the singer's nose peeking through the smoke along with a random hand (Rolls Royce style).

Just wait until I get these photos off the card and onto my laptop today. They're going to be so good you'll probably beg me to rip a few Pixies albums for you just to have some decent background noise while you look at them. 😁

For me, that anarchist vibe was the best part. 😍
