I guess maybe it’ll finally happen by the 6th, fingers crossed!
Either way, we’re moving forward 🙂

Is The Switcher Band even still around? 😳 I’ve been telling this one story for years about how they fell apart after one of the members got hit by a train. (I know, not exactly a riotously funny tale, but it makes for a killer story...) So, is that whole thing just an urban legend, or did they actually reunite?

Holy crap, The Switcher is still around... 😲
I honestly have no clue who could actually listen to that garbage... 😁

My bad, I got the date wrong, it's actually December 6th.
The Switcher is back together again, though obviously with a different lineup this time around. If you have even a shred of interest in punk, you really ought to show up and check them out.
Sound-wise, they're basically the American version of Social Distortion or The Offspring—I'm not saying they've mastered it yet, but they're definitely chasing that same vibe.

The Switcher Band was pretty garbage back when they were playing at the local club, so we just headed straight for Taco Bell instead. Haha.

That’s a bit harsh. 🙂>
I would have truly loved to make it to this show, but unfortunately, I have some studying I need to catch up on. 😢

He threw himself under the tracks. He was my punk mentor back in The Principality. He was also my best friend's older brother and part of the family. This feels like the right moment to say his full name... it's just bizarre that it was The Switcher Train...

I suppose this is a chance to finally mention him by name... though, the fact that it was The Switcher Train... how surreal...

Wrong Way—so is that supposed to be some kind of new music venue?
I actually thought they decided to name the pizza parlor that used to occupy that space... 😁

Another thing—a member of the band took his life by jumping under a train, and the band itself is called The Switcher, and they play at a venue right next to the tracks... 😵

So... to be a bit more out there than usual... anything could happen that night. All the conditions are met.

Guaranteed fun for all ages 👍

Guaranteed fun for the whole family 👍


If you're passed out, the conditions are actually even better. In your dreams, the tracks run right past the bar 😎

By the way, do you know his sister? She was a friend of mine from my Apple days and from out by the coast..

Susan Clark10, we all know you're an expert on all 😁 but honestly, it's classier to just send a private message. Nobody else really cares about this stuff.

Besides, who's actually leaving? 😁

Well, I don't really care if you're planning to watch Harry Potter either, so I'm not exactly jumping for joy.☕

Man, how the hell am I catching so much negativity lately?

I gave you some solid advice, but clearly I was being naive if I expected anything more than this petty attitude.

Mis aj keeps getting caught up in all these little fights. It probably needs to be reined in—anyway, let's go, Pen! 🎉
