Maybe you should read up on the subject or at least watch “Style Wars" before commenting. And yeah…Why are you talking about Pollyanna again? This subject seems to strike a nerve with you in a weird way.

It's a part of the history from that era. So don't knock it. <br /> For those that lived it - Know what's up. That's what was on and poppin' in the late 80's. GRAFF. short for GRAFFITI. Genius. Black- white- latin... doesn't matter! All of you new jacks that wish you were around when HC was HC can complain about what ever you want these days.

So someone’s going to college and writes grafitti?…Why does that bother you?

I would rather have someone take the time to draw a flyer by hand, instead of just borrowing images from the internet(which takes zero time). Kyle's flyers looked better than 99% of the other flyers people did at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-82555505222043859632010-09-30T12:39:19.397-04:002010-09-30T12:39:19.397-04:00Great flyers !!!

But somebody offered up their house for an after party in Northern Virginia and we offered to play the party for free. No PA system in that basement so Brian just led the crowd like a conductor and everybody was on vocals that night.<br /><br />And we also made sure to leave early enough to make that next Safari gig, for sure.<br /><br />The Fall Brawl at WUST was a great show. I remember chilling with Mackie backstage before Icemen went on. I was such a huge fan of his but didn't want to get all fanboy, so we talked about abusing BJ Papas' stuffed squirrel "Stripey" at her apartment a few weeks before. <br /><br />We began to cover Banned in DC just for the DC shows and man, those DC kids could really tear it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
