 -If Mankie has slandered either you or your girlfriend's band, or gotten on your case for not being british
 
 -If Redsock has asked you to write for BigYawn

Then I guess I'm not a forum member, based on those.
 
  How about: if you check the chatboard within 30 minutes of arriving at work.

You're able to keep track of who is who, even when they change their board names. Again and again.  Hell, you remember when folks changed their board names again and again.

- if you feel your music nerdiness and manic cd-buying will only be understood by other members.
 
 - if you've bought albums and books you've never heard of based on members' recommendations.
 
 - if you've pretended you were an actual music critic.  
 
 - if this is where you learned how to post a pic.
 
 - if you learned new vocab, complete with actual dictionary definition.
 
 - if this is where you get your humour for the day.

 You know you're a forum member when you come to the defense of the club when a disgrunteled patron comes on the forum to vent about something that happened during a show or some other 9:30 Club related experience.

unfortunately here in DC, (and the states) that's pretty much correct.  if folks didnt know however, mr. butler and mr. anderson are currently working together on a new album.  wont be called suede, but should be very interesting.  i'm keeping expectations low, but am definitely curious.
