Good energy!... but usual crowded room at RNR which limits my enjoyment. I'm old now. Also if you aren't in the first two rows, in my opinion, the sound suffers.

[i am gay and i like cats]

has anybody else noticed, that the majority of people who post in this thread, do not post anywhere else on the forum, for some, reason. maybe if life was a gigantic list of dates to remember, they would.

[hemisphire]

Probably because the rest of the forum comes across like a handful of hipsters sniping at each other for their lack of hipness.

No, it doesn't. 

What Walkie is talking about is more accurately explained by a divide between people in this community who have no interests outside of music and other people who do.

This is the thread for true music geeks. If we had a thread about the rarest vinyl and CDs you own, I bet the same people would post. It's fun to see what people have seen over the years.
