@riffblaster:

This is hands down my favorite video of my band I've ever seen.  Enjoy!

Somehow ended up on my newsfeed and I lost my proverbial shit laughing. Good to see you're headed back to the antipodes soon!

[Giles]

Had missed that first time round - brilliant.

[Giles]

@hasty:

Sweet! See you there G!

Great, wondered who else would be going….

[Giles]

Tonight, we went to see Nate, Jake and the boys…

Here…

With urgent blue bag replenishment for Nate…

A really, really great night…

Jakes still trashing that IHSH-54…

[davito]

G and P going Hardcore so cool. Very nice

[riffblaster general]

So great to see you!!!!!!!  That show was such a blast.

[Madame Buttonfly]

Was an amazing evening, thank you!  Was great seeing loads of people enjoying themselves so much (on and off stage!)

And - sad as it may sound - I was thinking “I actually know a couple of these guys” (ageing Converge groupie) 

[riffblaster general]

Hahaha Paula…. You are by far my favorite groupie.

[Giles]

What about the little red head who bows at your feet every UK performance, I quite like her…..?  But I did only see her from the back.....

[Madame Buttonfly]

She’s too intense.  I’m a much less demanding groupie… at least for the time being...

The redhead has also been wearing the same clothes everyday.  So ….. Eww.

same with most of us, what are you trying to say?

[riffblaster general]

You didn't see how sweaty she got

[Seul]

You've never seen me at work.

@Jii:

A friend of mine is a huge fan so I guess I'll come along and see you perform in Helsinki!

Fuck, I'm going to have to pass on this. Too busy at work and probably working all of that weekend too..

Wow, thanks so much for posting those links Nate, I really enjoyed reading those. Both Ian M and Rollins were huge influences on me through my teens and early twenties and those interviews do a good job of shedding light on their dynamic. Cheers!
