Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus, of GWAR.

Condolences to family and friends, which is basically all of Richmond.  A huge loss for that community.

[grateful]

Wow! I always thought I'd see them, one more time again.

[Got Haggis?]

that is too bad...i remember the first time i saw them was in DC at what I think was a roller skating rink (kalorama ave or something?) with dread zeppelin. I think it was 1992.  I wore my blood stained white tshirt to class the next day and everyone was in awe.

I know...I always looked fwd to taking my son to see them when he got a little older.

Having lived in rva from 89-94 I've got a lot of GWAR memories.  Dave was a really nice guy and had an insane work ethic.  he will be missed.

wow, that sucks.  I too remember seeing them at one of the last shows at the old 930

I wore a white shirt and I was covered in all different types of liquids

I somehow managed to stay sober and drove home...and got pulled over by the police
I thought for sure he was going to freak out on us when he saw I was covered in fake blood
but alas he just gave me a warning (can't even remember why he pulled me over?) and never even commented on the blood

Oh wow R.I.P. Dave! He seemed like a smart, funny guy. I got to see GWAR several times at the 9:30 Club and each time was a blast! The RVA scene has lost a giant.

[Seth Hurwitz]

he was a really good guy

I found his music completely meritless and terrible, but I did meet him many times around town and he could not seem to be a nicer person.

God I love your sense of humor!   However Danica FlatChick can't drive for shit.  All she is is a publicity stunt to get 13 year old boys interested in NASCAR!

i always thought damnica, was a secret trick to use a hot woman figurehead to get redneck men to actually be interested in the world of indyseries. which, will like, never happen.

You never know, it could be a trick to get the redneck lesbian crowd involved in NASCAR.  Stranger things have happened my friend.  BTW don't forget to let me know when y'all are headed to Richmond.  Janice and I ARE going to take y'all out for dinner.

She's 27 out of 56 here in points, so apparently there are almost 30 duded who drive for shit worse than her.
