Well, hello.
My name is Steve, which is the partial root of my handle, which was generated in full during my underground electronic music career. Technically, I'm not a virgin to this thread, as I was originally here for a few short stints while I was Just a babe in '01 and '03. My name was OP666187.
I have returned because of something I've always noted about Dark Tranquillity fans: they're decent people. I live near a major metropolitan center here in America, and I only travel into the beast's heart to see concerts. At concerts for bands like In Flames, people are very often rude, and even more often obnoxiously drunk. At Dark Tranquillity concerts, people like to talk about music between sets, and nice girls will tuck your glasses in their shirts while you're moshing.
On the boards (at least 5-7 years ago) they're fairly considerate and open minded. I will now stop talking about you all like you're not here.
As I said, and to quote Rammstein, "[I'm] all living in America, America, America." I'd like to see my soldiers home, Obama or McCain in the White House, and for my country to harness it's incredible wealth and technology to build sustainable infrastructure in poorer nations, whether they be third world or <sarcasm> the shitholes you all live in. </sarcasm> Don't hate me for my obnoxious president, hate me for the reason that everyone else does (the insurance company I work for).
Hi!
