I threw a major BBQ at my place in San Francisco. A 15 gallon keg, lots of meats and foods, dancing, hot chicks everywhere, etc. etc. etc. Started at noon and didn't end until around 11PM. Weather was fantastic for San Franicsco. Warm and sunny all day. Had a triple heaping of drama at the end of the night but was otherwise a success. I couldn't sleep at all (happens when I eat lots of meat and drink lots of beer) and have been running strong since around 8AM Sunday. No sleep at all. Some of my friends are still crashed out at my place as I type this at work.Note to self; next year throw your labor day party on Saturday or Sunday.

Then I DJ'd at the upscale club Sunday night, where someone asked the manager for the music to be turned up when I played J. Santana "Mic Check." But the DJ-wannabe manager took over at midnight so I went to the other club with Cowbwoy where our peoples were playing disco, boogie & house. There I caught up with this girl Yolanda whom I hadn't seen in 20 years.
Monday wifey and I enjoyed the weather and she made Thai ginger noodles with spiced tofu and steamed broccoli which we ate while watching our HARDY BOYS MYSTERIES DVD.
I just ate the leftovers for lunch and my breath is nice and garlic-laden. Don't get close.
I get so weirded out when skins show up to my gigs. I know they're not that[/b] type of skinhead, I mean I hope and pray they're not, but the whole para-military thing freaks me out. I'm sorry if these guys are your friends, but do you know what mean?
i am not a rael LA haed cuz i did not know the deele on this one. sciarc is a bunch of rich kids sniffing coke and studying architecture? that's all i could gather.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking along those same lines.
It seems people have been to quick to try and wipe these images from their minds.
And this is not something any of us should ever forget.
Sorry if I brought this thread down but I felt guilty enjoying myself in the midst of all this.
I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in the NC hardcore scene around 1985-88 and back then, with the exception of 1 or 2 dudes, all the skins in the scene were drunk & violent Fort Bragg jarheads who wouldn't hesitate to beat up anybody in the club smaller than them, including the band.
Luckily, the skins who come to our gigs are our most loyal customers, they dig soul music, dig reggae even more, are almost all completely friendly & well-behaved. In fact, those two guys pictured are about as mild-mannered as they come!! And as far as I've seen, the local skins have no more racist leanings, at least no more than your average white dude. That said, we have had two fights at the club over our 3 years doing our SOLID! soul night, and both of them were instigated by skins (but against other white dudes). Still, 2 fights in 3 years is a pretty good record, and our friend Jeff (the brother in the porkpie hat in the last pic in the gallery) is pals with the skins and shows up every month, saying our night "is the best thing going in Durham."
Besides, we're in Durham - the SanFran of the Carolinas! DONT BE SCURRED!
I swear I've seen that symbol utilized in dude's belt buckle somewhere before??? German army???

K in Canada.
Went out Thurs, Fri, and last night. Drinking, dancing, dining. She was rolling with a friend of hers, who was cute but not down for the double dutch bus. Hattoire De Rigeur. Last night we shut down Lavagna (two blocks from the shoppe)... the table next to us was Drew Barrymore. And she was not as hot as I wanted her to be.
Finally papped though.
It's an iron cross, no doubt. But in 2005, iron crosses are pretty much just a fashion statement adored equally by skinheads, bikers, skateboarders, The Stooges, The Hellacopters, about a fafillion garage bands in California, not to mention leagues of under-16 Hot Topic customers.
You annoyed someone so much that they banned you from their Myspace page, yet created a holiday in your honor?
in a nutshell, yes
The skins I knew in the early 80's who wore iron crosses did it for a reason. If I were a skin familiar with the stereotypes (which I were not part of), I wouldn't be wearing Nazi paraphenalia whether it's passed into pop culture or not.
Just my opinion.

I would describe the dudes who I see at my nights (now and then) like that, too. And like you said, this feeling is the residue from days of youth when this look was the choice of racist thugs. It's hard to shake. That, combined with the big boots, the bombers, the haircut, the tucked in shirt...it all just makes me feel ill at ease. The guys I'm thinking of are also the type of guys who hang really close to the booth and that weirds me out even more...ok, ok, I'm projecting.
Watched Fatal Attraction & Four Rooms with my mom. Had a family dinner. Chatted about project blowed with anasarcasm. Slept.
