Gravy, I have to be honest. It's just gotten sad to watch.
I can't in good conscience continue to humiliate you on this website. It's like punching somebody in a wheelchair. It's just not a fair fight.
Please refrain from interacting with me moving forward. I find it extremely difficult not to make fun of you, but I'm going to try. I hope you understand. Thanks.
>>>If any Zoners are afraid that they will be embarrassed to have outsiders read their posts, I suggest that they think before they type.
Good point; but I mean concerned more in the sense that somebody is standing at your window watching you eat dinner every night. Probably masturbating. Ew.
It's been good to see a few folks come out of the woodwork and introduce themselves. I know the zone can sometimes feel a little intimidating, and I genuinely respect the posters who made it a point to say hello.
I'll be checking in periodically throughout the day to greet folks and do my best to make them feel welcome. I encourage other zoners to do the same.
I come here for music related conversation and information on what's happening in our scene. For me there is far too little of that and way too much other stuff (pun intended). So, yeah I mostly lurk as I have little to say to most of the discussion happening here.
St. Mark will have to get a new official Viva outfit when he begins speaking for the Viva Admin group, sort of like joining the Scouts. He'll look particularly sharp in his tie-dye flannel shirt, matching tie-dye sweatpants and socks, and Birkenstock sandals. We love the look and are sure he will, too. Just tell us when you want to start, Mark, we'll order your garb and help you make the transition to being a member of the official Viva Crew.
Can I request a custom tailored patchwork blazer as well? I'd like to add a bit of personal style to the team, which I think the community would really appreciate.

Regarding the hipster festival; I know you have questions about what the appropriate attire for such an event would be. I'm glad you asked!
Let me get you in touch with the hippie down at Saturday Market who wasted his life pursuing a career in tie dye. I'm thinking some ironic socks would be a nice touch.
i did not lurk as much as i popped in and out of the old zone to look for links to events, articles/books interviews and concert tours. i would only sign into philzone.net when i needed a tic. i lurk no more on vlz. from the darkness to light. thanks.

Random notes on lurkers.
* Perhaps the reason behind the lurker lurking plays into why the lurker lurks.
* What if the lurker is shy.
* Or if he or she is concerned what stepping out from lurking (aka posting) might lead 2.
* Like every action has a reaction & some may not B positive.
* The new norm suggests that trust in the lurker community must B earned. It is not a given.
* Lurker paranoia. Will this one day become accepted nomenclature 4 future lurker analysis?
* Lurkers who gather info 4 a sustained period of time may have issues.
* B wary of troll lurkers. Though it may B hard 2 troll from the lurking sphere, remember one never knows.
