Fort Reno Forum Party!

[you be betty]

what about like, weekend shows?
 everybody can make those, right?
 
 
 every time i meet people from message boards, i feel like a total internet geek.
 "oh, Bags!  It's me, you be betty!"
 
 it's pretty (underscore) awkward...

How do you think I'm going to feel announcing to people I'm Julian, faux celeb-porn CONNOISSEUR?

[you be betty]

well that's a silly visual.
 the worst thing is, too, that people always assume my name is Betty.  
 i don't really know if your name is Julian or not, but my name is certainly not Betty.
 
 it is a bit of a let down when i call somebody and they know multiple Alyssa's, and they ask "which Alyssa?" and i have to reply "BETTY" and they suddenly know who it is.

  Oh, if we're going for a show no one else will be at, may I suggest Travis Morrison? No one in their right mind would show up for that.

I could definitely go for a Dismemberment Plan reunion. A friend of mine from Beauty Pill said that Travis' new stuff is more Plan-esque

[brennser]

in general I am much more comfortable addressing forumites by their screen, as opposed to their 'real' names, even when I know their real names
 
 lulu will always be lulu, kosmo will always be kosmo etc etc

I could go for that big-time as well. Never so glad to live in the area then I was for the two "last shows."
 
 I hope his new stuff is better, because Travistan was one of the worst things I ever heard.

I always want to say hi to Kosmo when I see him at the club, but I feel weird because I don't know his real name, and even if I explained I was from the board, I doubt he'd know who I was or care if he did.

[you be betty]

yeah, too bad i don't know what any of you look like...uhh...given the fact that i just started coming on here a few months ago.
 
 
 that reminds me of this girl on myspace.
 i could have sworn i saw her at a show earlier this year, and said "hey, are you my friend from myspace?" but it WASN'T HER...then i saw her (i was almost positive it was) at the rilo kiley show and my friends refused to let me go find out because of the previous experience.  and guess what?  it turned out to be her.  
 
 
 stupid computers.

[brennser]

wise move - he's a bit of an elitist prick   :p

everytime i see someone get off a bike in front of the club, i automatically assume its chimbly sweep
 
 i even forget if chimbly is a boy or girl.
 
 but yeah, if ted's there, so am i

[kurosawa-b/w]

Bags, you know I'll be there. And I second Guapos for margaritas as our backup plan! I wouldn't mind checking out The Hard Tomorrows if they play a show this year.

ma'am works too...
 
 Too many Chris's in this world.  Remember the night at the club Chris doing lights, other Chris doing FOH, and third Chris on Monitors.  Bummer was that it wasn't Chris managing.  (and 3 of the 4 had M at the last initial).
