Northern Virginia Roll Call

@Large BajaBlast @pabstsmeared let's get some shows on our calendars! Know of any good ones coming up?

 

Well I'm certainly not driving to Baltimore ever again for a show. fuck that noise. Its hard for me at work to look at some of that stuff so many music sites blocked for random reasons.

 

I was considering The Goddamned Gallows on 3/20, and I'm like 95% in on Conjurer on 4/4. Both of those are down here in Richmond.

Also just saw that Scott H. Biram has been added to the 3/20 show. That's a certain kind of sound though, don't know if you guys are into that.

 

That's what's nice about our hams is they're handheld so we could use them for spotting, while walking around for recovery, and in the trucks too. I'm just so tired of CB. I have a 4' whip drilled right into my roof and have a fantastic SWR, so without getting too crazy with grounding straps, it's as good as it's gonna get. and the little HAM still does better. That's why I'm just over CB.

 

What this is shorts weather

Edit: yes im inside, but ive been out like this.

 

I know conjurer, and I know a band called Gallows but not Goddamn Gallows

I'll have to check them out.

 

Dude, isn't Gallows Wade from Alexisonfire's new band?

 

I'll send you a pic this afternoon.

 

I'm Still Waiting for Volbeat!

 

They were around quite awhile but he did take over vocals in 2011-12 if i remember correctly.

 

@LocoLocal @pabstsmeared apparently Bring Me The Horizon played last night at George Mason and I had no idea lol. I doubt they play too much of their old stuff anymore since they gotta push that new shit soft album.

 

haha Yeah, I have that thing where I go see a band and then say "WTF they didn't sound like this the last ti.........oh right, I've just been listening to their one record from 2002 for the last 17 years.."

 

I believe I saw in an instagram story recently that August Burns Red played very recently somewhere close also.

Probably could've worked one more "recently" into that 19-word sentence.

 

They did me and @LocoLocal talked about it not too long ago.

 

Alexisonfire may be my favorite band. At least they always get mentioned in the convo. Love the name of their website website: theonlybandever.com.

I saw them at the NorVA in 2005 and it remains one of my favorite concerts ever. I was blown away and have been a huge fan ever since, but never got to see them again.

Yeh they played last Friday, the 25th, in Richmond!

HAHAHA yeh same bro, same!

 

They are definitely top 5 for me I think. Self Titled and Watch out are ALWAYS in heavy rotation for me. Been considering calling my truck White Devil. For several reasons, Alexisonfire being one of them, having a co-worker that used to call me that being one of them, Cocaine not being one of them.

 

So I had an old man moment today. I called to complain about the trash man speeding in our neighborhood. He was going at least 50 in a 25. I thought it would be a disappointing phone call but the lady was actually very nice. Apparently they have GPS trackers on all the trash trucks in Fairfax County. I gave her the exact time and location and she was able to pull up the data immediately. This guy has been driving like a mad man for awhile. I'm thinking of sitting outside with my go pro next week to see if he continues.

 

Are spike stips available to the civilian market? Asking for a friend...

 

that's awesome! Hope he slows the hell down.

 

Sounds like i need To get on board then as well. I always Like better options for commo.
