Washignton City Paper Cover Story

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Angela, I enjoyed the article but I do think you were way out of line publishing people's names like that ... I dont care if they did sign a release. On the other hand I understand that you were writing to a certain audience ... an audience that probably frequents places like the Black Cat and the 9:30 Club and almost certainly despises the LNS crowd. That audience will applaud the fact that you named names and took some pretty cheap shots. As someone that doesnt associate with either crowd I think you ultimately came off as more jealous than journalistic. I believe you deserve whatever windfall comes of this article.

There was a kid convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor but he has been banned from HFStival.com like 10 times and is currently a member of LNS only, so we aren't claiming him.

I don't recall that statement but I assume you're talking about joking with youbebetty. I don't think I've said anything vulgar to her, and anything I've said to her is as clearly in jest as anyone else's comments to her.

"At the end of the day, they hate because they are jealous. Jealous of our priviledge, jealous of our economic success, jealous of our fun. I hate to say it but they hate us for the same reasons the terrorists do.  Perhaps that's why they all want us to withdraw from Iraq and hand victory to al Qaeda on a silver platter? Ok, I better stop before I go off on a major tangent/rant here."
 
 O.M.F.G.

The guy I'm referring to was Middle Eastern and definitely "Turbo."  I seriously doubt he's with LNS.

I am sure you were joking.  But in the context of a hypothetical article ostensibly about the depravity of rock fans (or something) that post could be taken any number of ways.

to be fair, i was just as horrified the first time time i saw lastnightsparty.com

Yeah, that's him. Money makes up for a lot of other shortcomings.

 Does she look good?       :p  

check her out for yourself director...

True enough.

I agree.  I doubt Angela went into covering this "story" with any other agenda than to make these people out as crass, sex crazed, retard frat boys/sorority girls.  Not saying the ones she met were not, I have no idea. Im just saying Angela was painting with a wide brush in that article and who's to say if the majority of the people on that site are indeed like that.  Im sure she feels much more in tune with the ever so inclusive crowds at the Black Cat and RnR Hotel.  And no, Im not a member of LNS.

someone mentioned it in the comments on the citypaper site (not me, i swear), but i think a similar type of article on the brightestyoungthings crew would be hilarious

I was thinking the exact same thing.  Then again I feel the BYT crowd are already a parody of themselves.

 That nice ass story from a while back was off the hook as well.  I kinda sympathize with females.  Especially to the point where you have females eschewing sexy outfits for fear of negative interaction.  NEWS FLASH, McFly!  WE ALL LOSE WHEN THAT HAPPENS.  Seriously though, there's a fine line between complementing a female/acknowledging her sexiness & ogling/harassment.  Some of these cats just don't get that. Let's do some idiot math:
 
 
 Creepy/Perverted DOES NOT = SEXYTIME
