I was in the fan club from 2001 to 2004 and saw them three times. Pretended for a few years in early adulthood that they weren't good and I've come back around. Don't know much past Meteora but still love the stuff from my youth.

No for sure, especially since I've got two hours of bus travel after my flight before I make it to my folks' house.

Hadn't even considered it. I work a block from a duane reade so I'm gonna stop in there after work tomorrow. Thank you for the better option here that I somehow overlooked

This is where I'm leaning, I'm just unsure how badly the time zones will get me. I've been averaging a drink or two a month at most lately and I don't really want to be drunk, but I'd love to get a nap in.

I’m actually going to be their new singer

I'm definitely going to repot some of my plants as they've grown and I want them to continue to grow. Maybe pick up guitar again since I stopped playing a while back and I regret ignoring that part of my life. Maybe I'll finally put some art on these walls.

My mom got it when it came out so I don’t remember the first time I heard it. I was 2. It’s just always been in me

Agreed. I think he got into the cure about a year ago now? I remember him telling me the first time he listened to Disintegration and I felt honored that he wanted to share it with me

Thank you. You’d have loved him. He loved music and his friends so much. He’d be 61 now if he were still with us

Through some strange sorcery, Howard befriended Dax Riggs a few years after I helped get him into Acid Bath and Agents of Oblivion. I wish he were alive to hear this record. I just know he'd be obsessed with it.

It sounds silly but one of the most subtly devastating aspects of grief over time is that I don't have new pictures of us to share. There will never be new pictures of us. I can still conjure a million wonderful memories but there are so many new things I wish he knew and could see.

I'm not getting reposts or anything usually, it just seems to happen sometimes. It's harmless, but odd.
