There are days when this site is a ton of work. And that follows a full day of actual work. 40+ hours a week at the old grindstone, followed up by TTD. It’s all good here, because I love posting up auctions and telling stories of gigs gone by. Sometimes, it’s torture cranking out a post at the end of the day. You may have seen me dial in one or two. But then there are days when I can tell that people love the site. People like xmilesx1. Check the description on this old auction. I see at least two or three phrases that we frequently throw around on the site. This means that people are enjoying the site AND are adding our vernacular to their posts. That’s huge. If I was a religious man, I’d probably call it a blessing. Thanks folks, we appreciate it.
Grab this jacket and get your serious sway on. Rain or no rain, you’ll be good.
What exactly do you do B. Murph?
software engineer. Good times.
funnn. almost did that, couldn’t take it after a semester.
I’m glad I stuck with it. Into it, most of the time.
I remember when they made these for a European tour. Great look. Not sure who did it first, but Buried Alive used the same Euro company to make a windbreaker pullover for a tour over there. Us, Buried Alive and Grade all used the same budget tour booker around those days so maybe they were the connection. Buried Alive’s had the Zero Tolerance/ Fighting Irish logo on the breast pocket and the Death of Your Perfect World era logo on the lower back of the jacket. I sold mine to some kid off of the B9 board for 50 bucks. He even bought it after I told him it had permanent white facepaint smudged on it from wearing it while singing Die Die My Darling on stage with Michael Graves and the (new) Misfits in 2000. Enough rambling.
I’m just glad there was a Euro And Victory connection so I could mention both wizard sleeves AND bulldogs.
Whoa, good story Ian. Forget paying $50 for a jacket, I’d pay $150 space bucks for a picture of Ian with face paint …
