It's off the Gaslight Anthem Tumblr, I love dogs and The Gaslight Anthem so it seemed appropriate!

Definitely appropriate, I'd say!

It's nice to meet you too! And your not alone in being addicted to this forum...haha, it's a cool place and no one gets annoyed when you go on and on about what an amazing band Gaslight is. I would be nervous asking Brian for a picture too, but I have heard how cool they all are about that kind of thing, so I'd still do it. I haven't gotten to see them live yet, but I'm hoping for a concert in my part of the country in the near future!

Okay, awesome - a safe haven for me! Haha I've hooked many of my friends on Gaslight, but not to the extent of myself. But yeah Friday night was the first time I've seen them, actually. I was supposed to in July of 2010 but I play college soccer and we had a training that night - I was heartbroken. So you're in Virginia, right? Are you going to the DC show?

Yeah, I live in VA, but I'm from CA originally. I was born in the L.A. area and lived in Santa Cruz for four years as well. I wish I was going to the DC show, but I have to work that day and I'd never make it there in time. It's such a bummer! DC is about a 3-4 hour drive depending on traffic, and I'm a nanny with long hours and no vacation time, so I'm out of luck. I'm really hoping that they'll come to the Virginia Beach area in the future. That would be perfect!

Hey Vix, I'm Shannon. Welcome to the forum! Just like the other guys have said, this is a really fun place and we have a great time. It sounds like you're going to fit right in! And I love your profile pic with Brian too. You both look so happy!

Hi Shannon, nice to meet you! And yes I love it here already, I think I'm almost addicted to this forum, haha. And wheeee thank you so much! I was extremely nervous when I asked him for a picture, but he was super nice about it. I was very impressed how greatly they treat their fans! I've encountered bands that are total jerks.

Hey there welcome to the forum! As you said, we are all nice here. Glad to have you on. I'm Jimmy, and yes that is me in my avatar, I do play in a rock band, and do coffeeshop shows-much like Brian did.

Hey Jimmy thanks a bunch! And wow really, you do? That rocks dude. What are you guys called?

Welcome to the site!

What other bands/musicians do you like?

Hi there, thank you! I love Rise Against (so you can imagine my excitement when Gaslight announced their tour with them!), Alkaline Trio, Bouncing Souls, Against Me!, and Brandon Flowers/The Killers. What about you?

Ekovalley. We are just starting though, hope to have our first show in July. We are having a 9 hour practice the week after memorial day.

Oh wow! Big move huh? I have been to Virginia once and I LOVED it, you are so lucky. But aww man that really sucks. I hate when work gets in the way of fun! And heck yeah, I hope they play one over there also so that you can see them conveniently!

Oh, I gotcha. Now I just feel like an idiot. And that is awesome that you play soccer. Most of the girls I hang out with are soccer players. Ya'll are a good bunch of people. Haha, you look like a soccer player. I play on a baseball team down here in Kansas. Sports are GREAT!

No way, no need to feel like an idiot. And aww thanks, I'll take looking like a soccer player as a huge compliment! But I totally agree with you, us soccer girls are pretty chill, haha. Baseball huh? That's awesome, honestly it seems like baseball players are equivalent to girls soccer players. At least from my experience!

What ... soccer...football team do you support?

In the U.S. it's the LA Galaxy, but my main team is Manchester United. I like Everton too - gotta support an American goalkeeper, haha. What about you?

Oh dear...this won't end pretty...haha

I'm Liverpool, and you just named our two biggest rivals

I spent some time with some mates in Philly in April, and they were Everton fans, for the reason there's an American playing for them.

Haha, yeah...Usually you all are chill. And you should take it as a huge compliment cause us baseball boys find the soccer girls the most attractive of women sport players. No joking around haha. I wish I some of them liked The Gaslight Anthem though. I am the only one in the group of people I hang out with that like them A LOT!...but I am actually crazily obsessed with them.
