That kind of lines rarely works, especially with girls that are in demand. Usually girls are not that interested in your hotness, what they're interested in if you're a real deal. Marion, give me a silent nod here.

Alright, so you'd want to go with something along the lines of: "Marion, I bet you're too shy to call me up first and ask me to invite you to Belgium to have great fun! And no, I'm not talking about eating French fries for every meal and arguing about their Belgian origin... more like having fun, you know?"

Try something like that sometimes. It's like magic.

Ofcourse I'm serious.

I love reading you guys :)

So, @Lifestyle X: people from Belgium usually have a belgian accent. And even the hottest top model cannot be sexy if he had that kind of accent. Haha, just kidding... I think.
And there's no arguing about the origin of French fries. We all know they're from Belgium, and we French people even have some jokes with fries included. (I wish I could tell you one, but you need to see it performed... too bad!)

Anyway, I'll let you know when I approach Belgium (which happens quite often since half my family lives like 15 km away from Belgium).
And Belgium has like the hottest sxe gigs in that corner of Europe, I heard!

You wouldn't have that problem with me babe, I don't even speak French ! Aren't there a lot of hardcore gigs in France ? I know that Terror plays in Antwerp in 2 weeks.

haha, your accent might be even worse, no idea!

Well, yeah, there's some gigs... but no sxe ones. And where I live there's kind of a small hardcore scene, but it's blent with the metal one because this one is pretty big. Ans it's super cool to see hardcore gigs at metal gigs and metalheads at hardcore shows! But still no sxe stuffs! The only sxe band that has played near my place is Nueva Etica.

I'm 18 years old and I'm from jersey
I been listening to a lot of Have heart, With Honor and Defeater these past few weeks

I haven't been to a show yet. My friend told me there's usually one around Oct 17th but there may not be one this year.

**h3athrow** · 09-20-2010, 07:38 PM

I'm 37.

I currently live in LA, and I've lived and been active in the punk scene in Wisconsin, Chicago, Boston, and New York. Moved to LA about a year ago and am still getting acclimated.

Having just read the new book on the hardcore scene in Detroit ("Why Be Something You're Not"), I'm keen on early Midwest hardcore bands right now.

Last night, I picked up two No Empathy records, a CD by The Fix, and the Negative Trend EP on CD. The Fix record is awesome.

I would have loved to have seen a show by Freewill (sxe?), Minor Threat, Seven Seconds, and Youth of Today.

welcome dude. wisconsin represent. Where in wisconsin did you hang out? Glad to know you're still edge after 21!

**h3athrow** · 09-22-2010, 10:56 AM

Grew up near Whitewater. Went to shows in Whitewater, Madison, and Milwaukee. Helped book shows and worked merch in Janesville and Beloit c. 1990. I remember hanging out on State Street, buying 7"'s at Cat's Meow.

Haven't been straight edge the whole time, alas. In college, and after, I drank a little, with a stint smoking -- but was still vegetarian (lacto-ovo). Now, in my 30s, I've ditched the drinking and cigs and am all the better for it. About 80% vegetarian.

Interested in reconnecting with the idealism and energy I used to get from hardcore. Which is what brought me here!

Welcome aboard then! Make sure you stay around for a little while. Start some topics. There are people who love hearing stories about past hardcore days so you might try starting with that. Just a hint you know xD

**xVeganAnarchistx** · 09-22-2010, 11:34 PM

yea dude, you gotta get involved and start talking or you won't get involved haha. I almost left right away then sec was like if you want this forum to be active then you need to make it that way, or something loosely related to that. Anyways welcome back to the edge and work on the animal rights thing :-P. either way, start the thread crucial dude alluded too, i never heard of the cats meow so it must be gone now, we do have a pretty cool shop called earwax records though
