dave: man, do you even want me to tell you how many times i got roped into doing my chem merch?
me: me too man. pins were 50 cents...shirts were 8 bucks, 12$ including the cd...
dave: well, you not so much in the beginning because like, you didn't go to school or live in the same town as 3/5ths of the band.
me: true. man, i must have been the smallest person at those shows.
dave: nah, you still had an inch or so on frank iero back then
me: :lololololololroflolololol:
me: yeah, true. man, the all denim outfits with the tight black hoodie underneath. those were the days.
dave: you missed the part where your jeans had to be so tight your stomach hung out over them and you couldn't sit down. and the more your hair looked like you rolled out of bed, the better.
me: ah...'02 scene kid. i miss it kinda.
dave: nah, chill. i can sit down comfortably now.
me: jesus christ, i went to every show in the area from maybe the tail end of '01 to warped tour '04.
dave: and merched?
me: well, it was you, then me, then me and frank's girlfriend and sometimes mike's girlfriend, then just the two of them, and then once reprise signed them they got professional people.
dave: like it's so hard to merch.
me: seriously haha. but yeah, we never missed a show. i didn't know you then, but i saw you around.
dave: same.
me: remember the old hoodies? the ones with the logo and the crossed sabers in the front and in the back it said "live by the sword, die by the sword."
dave: yeah, so?
me: we did just that.
dave: whaaaaaaat
me: yeah. we lived for that band. when there was a show, we, not just you and i, but everyone, would call out of work and find a way to get there, even if it meant that we would hitchhike. that band was our lives for close to 3 or 4 years, and then they got signed to reprise, dropped otter, etc etc, hence the dying by the sword.
dave: damn, you're good.
it's too true. regardless, i wore my shirt today anyway. it needed to be used.
