yeah that was supposed to go quite differently. next time.

Still, I'll take it over nothin.

**A note to those who've never Obnished: That first sentence is awkward. Plan ahead.**

and also, i don't think that i would ever be able to convince my wife that we need to go see a couple of guys that i've never met perform in their cover band, whether her friend was there or not. next time, and there will be a next time, we need to have at least two hours of solid pre-drinking.

it gets easier as you meet more people. pretend that i'm a bounty hunter lobbyist and that you're courting the VA Bounty Hunter's association's support.

ha, funny, I think I was at the same beer fest a day off from you guys. And I think, if I remember correctly, that rparis and I once breathed the same air at a Jesse Malin concert. That rparis... he's a sly one.

Nope didn't get to go to the actual show, but if you remember I was at Anderson's house with you guys beforehand trying desperately to get a hold of the tickets through my brother's ticket broker friend. Then I drank a little more and went to a party and drank more there. ANd well, that last sentence had nothing to do with the rest.

I do remember being at the Ryan Adam's show at The Vic though a couple months later and you were there and I ran into a couple other CMJ boarders that I knew but you guys didn't and I think it was Aaron who may have referred to me that night jokingly as the Chicago CMJ ambassador or something like that cause I kept intro'ing everyone in chicago to each other at that time.

I do remember that now, I couldn't remember who went and who couldn't since I didn't really know anyone but Aaron. I haven't seen Ryan Adams live, so you can't be thinking of me for that show but I did go up to see Jeff Tweedy around that time so maybe you mean him instead of Ryan Adams? Anyway, that's the night I (and Aaron) met Katie as well. Ah, the memories...

pretty weird. i was once in vancouver but did not hook up with rads due to scheduling conflicts. that's the closest i came.

e-stone · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2005 4:41 pm

other useless facts:

shmoo and i went to rival high schools.

figured out on the CMJ board that paladisiac and i worked at the same company for a while there.

fickerson · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2005 4:43 pm

i knew ryan (robotboy) from viachicago, and from subsequently going to a couple of his shows. same thing with mr. derek phillips. i started hanging out at CMJ, then here, and i've since met other chicago obners (like charli), riviera stayed at my house, and this summer i met busty and the cap'n here in madison.

i then invited vegetableman....who also posts with scotty and i on another board.

i've met neither of them in person. so far.

I found CMJ around 2000-01 because I was looking for new album reviews. I started checking out the board because most of my friends at the time weren't as obsessed with music as I was and it was a great outlet.

I learned about so many great bands because of it and Obner..

Never met anyone from the board either, but next year I'm going to ATL for a week long conference so I figure on meeting up with some of the quiet and demure gents from the area for some mint juleps.

Yup yup, Tweedy. Sorry, for some reason I got them confused this morning. haha

Yes yes, that night WAS the night Haq and Katie met for the first time. And we all met her too. I remember us standing on the corner and her coming across the street and asking "is one of you Aaron"...aww love at first sight. :wink:

So Rick Derris inadvertently ruined the board?

albion is another guy that we introduced to the board. Also a dude called Pork Chop but he doesnt ever post.

Outside of people I already knew, I've met Drinky Crow, Tiny E, and of course, discostu.

And yes, I was totally not down with posting on a music related message board and I still think that it is pretty ghey, but you guys have turned me on to some really cool music and I've already got like 4600 posts, so I suppose that I'll stick around. Plus obner is the best way to kill time at work that I have EVER encountered.

Be undercover as a traveling band, I say.

I could do Austin, went to school at SWT (or whateveritscallednow) and lived in Austin for the decade it took for my undergrad. I'ma begin to plan that one.
