I wish the city I lived in had a decent scene. The only shows we ever have are either metalcore or indie music and the only actual venue in town is run by a christian dude so it alternates between a venue and a youth ministry building. I fucking hate having to make a 2-hour drive up to Atlanta (having to take off work if it's not on the weekend) just to catch a decent show.

I don't really know the only reason I would ever go to Alabama is if I am really desperate to buy beer on Sunday because every stereotype you've ever heard about Alabama and the south is painfully true.

Birmingham had a decent scene awhile back. Hellbastard played there a couple years ago. Also ex-Green Beret members had a band called Necronomikids out of Tuscaloosa that i saw open for Anal Cunt there. The problem I noticed is that any punk shows in AL tend to attract douchebag biker types.

Also, where do you live?? even macon has free shows every week.

I can see them getting lumped into the Locust category for obvious reasons but I feel like they had a much better sound than any of those other types of bands and don't give off a scenester vibe in the slightest.

Mr. Grinch, I'd like to think you right now for reminding me of the existence of this band. I just found the self-titled and it rips just as hard as I remember!

I'd also like to take time right now to show appreciation for the fact that this board has a pretty decent sized group of regular posters now instead of just a couple random shitheads posting 50 times a day.

Talking about Ocean State Job Lot in another thread got me wondering, do you Connecticut guys have Benny's or is that just an RI/MA thing?
I used to really hate Benny's as a kid but the older I get, the more I like the store for having tons of practical work/household stuff. Ocean State Job Lot is more depressing than a thousand Salvation Army stores combined.

Thus far I have learned that juggalos feel there is a difference between email type messages and text messages. For example, every sweet jugg that sent me a message asked (axed) me to text them. Ah...just text. No calling, no pictures. How written word differs from juggalove inboxes to text machines, I'll never know.

I can only endure so much abbreviated conversation. My profile picture is of me covered in a blanket holding a bag of Doritos. My raddest juggalo mate has a picture of himself in a kitchen with a knife to his own throat. I am so, so lonely. So lonely.

I can only endure so much abbreviated conversation. I have the 'text notification' turned off on my phone. I asked if they could block texts completely, but I don't pay enough for that premium-level of service. I've gotten some awesome texts tho. Mostly booty text, but two pretty kick ass suicide threats. I always have a little chuckle when I notice them two or three days later. "Oops, wrong fuckin' # on that suicide threat to Ms. Dixie, hope you made it pal". Or not, cuz only a freakin' drama queen would text a suicide threat. And I had a friend who did that once, and I'd say the same about it.

eh, texting is definitely the passive-aggressive "it's your turn to buy toilet paper, until then i'll wipe my ass with your old issues of MRR" version of communication.

It's better to use shit like forums anyway... that way you aren't addressing anyone in particular and nobody has to feel bad about ignoring dumb crap.
