Hopefully I'll run into a few people from here over there. But this time I can't drink, so it should be interesting. - Tue, 25 Oct 2005 7:24pm

20th Anniversary of The Rat's Nest- I think the first show ever was NoMeansNo w/The Resistance on Halloween 1985.

It was cool to see a lot of people in costumes.... and the lesbians . Seems like every woman is BI or a carpet muncher these day ...... gad bless'em ! I had one of those lovely ladies hook on to my loin cloth from one of her protruding sharp studded accessories , and piercings . It hooked on my crotch and just about tore my girly man dress off and then started freaking out thinking I was molesting her and yanked me around the kitchen like a mounted bitch . For fucks sake I'm a guy in a dress , can't we just be sisters ? And the significant other telling me that I was treating her ditz of a women bad was laughable .

Oh and remember ....You try to pick up my lady, you get a free hot dog with each pick up... delivered to you by a very ugly hairy women .
But to their defense, there was few drunken horny guys using the ambush approach ........ ok maybe we were ALL drunk and horny !
And thanks to the FUBAR mullet guy .. you're my hero man . My babe came and told me that this goof had grabbed at her a few times and others and when I went to the front door to do this fuck in ..you had everything at hand and were ripping the drunkin chap a new ash hole . I just stepped back and let you handle it ...... culminating in the jerk being pushed softly and then like a stack of dominos he crashed to the kitchen floor like a rag doll ..to be flattened again ...collapsing to the floor in a slump at the top of the down stairs landing! Very, very entertaining ! You are one lucky MO FO my lady and our girlfriends talked me out of a lay of boot ( sandal). And the short dude punching the fridge door and just being a all around drunkin idiot . You should be set a blaze with gas .


Ok bitch ( the dress yea know) fest over .

It was a punkin rocka rolla fuckin great time ! I'll be honest I had a little trouble (drunk) with band names and who was on. But all were equally good , excellent vibes and there had to be a few hundred people in attendance . I saw someone I hadn’t talk to in 20 fucking years ! Totally tippy ! ML7 Mike said he had ran across some buds he hadn’t talk to in a while there also , I guess the anniversary brought a lot of different generations of the scene out of their caves
My lovely sexy lady was dressed as a She devil .... man and there was a lot of nice looking devil darlings . Two in red dresses ...DAMN !! And the hard hat, tool belt young women had me adjusting my tool belt . SHWING !!(... ok that was lame) ... And it can be a little inconvenient dressed as a Egyptian king ( me) in a skirt . I've realized why men shouldn't wear skirts ....we’d walk around sport in wood like the flag carriers in a parade !
My friend gave me this great toy at the bash, maybe you saw it ? , It was this clear sphere with lights inside that spin around making these hypnotizing patters … I love it ! Thanks Lisa you spoil me to much sweets . Sorry about the girls not wanting you to come back to our place .. and I was ok with .. you know .

Anyfriginwho,

I’d like to give thanks to Gary and his lovely lady for having us over to the shindig , it was great fun and action pack . I laughed , I cried , I yelled and I mounted a lesbian..(or I got mounted ?) Two muffs up !

Twas a great bash and I hope you got enough cash for the kids .

Speaking of kids, the fireworks kids were nuts ! D Rock ( the other D Rock) gave the little shits fire crackers and they went nuts with’em , kind of like the bottle kids !

I’d like to say a big fuck you to the Loyal order of water buffalo ! I saw yea looking at my ass you pervs … will except for Mark . He was polishing up his booby quest skills … ok man you’ve felt up my old lady two times now ,

next time you’ll have to pay like the rest . Just ask Miky !

And Willy, just remember we’re not old , I like to look at it as age challenged ! I age like really old red wine …

…… I'm past my prime, bitter, bodies gone, and my corks dried out .

And Satan (Kirk) , no moe pot butter cookies fo you ! And I should say you did a great job at holding the wall up all night ! lol! Hey, and the Scotch party you're having man , you interested in some single lovelies coming ? They loves their scotch and they loves the Scottish. Fine ladies and dram of scotch sounds like kilt lifting good time ! Let me know .

Ne parkas, nec spernas !

Hey ? Shit, isn't a kilt like a skirt ? - Sun, 30 Oct 2005 11:42pm

Garry and I would like to thank all the bands that played at our party. Thanks for all the good people that came except the people that were breaking bottles, FUCK OFF, I hope I never see you again.

We would also like to thank Dean from deckmaster for donating the keg of beer for the bands, Kyle, Jeremy, Matt, Jake, Jay Brown, and others for keeping an eye out, cleaning up the garbage, etc. We appreciated it.

We got 650.00 for our son's team - thank you to all that payed the entrance fee.

It was one hell of a good party till the wee hours of the morning, great way to celebrate 20 years of punk music in our house.

As usual we have clothing, knapsacks etc. We will hold onto this stuff until the end of January and then it will be donated to Salvation Army so come pick up your stuff! :) - Mon, 31 Oct 2005 7:50pm

$650.00?!? HOLY SHIT!!! I guessed about $400. So that's who I was talking to in regards to getting free Keg Beer. Pity I couldn't drink any of it though. I just did the math, just under 217 people paid $3 to get in, good work people!!! (Of course, I'm sure some people paid more then $3, since it was going to Josh's hockey team, they should be happy :) - Tue, 1 Nov 2005 10:33am

As it is every year once again it was one of my favorite parties of the year.... I only made it downstairs for the bands for about two minutes before someone spilled my full drink all over me, that was around when I decided the living room and kitchen were the places to be this year. Thanx for having me over yet again........ - Tue, 1 Nov 2005 2:55pm

We discovered last night that for the first time in 20 years shitheads stole stuff from our house!! Fucking thieves, we want our pot leaf magnets and the hockey magnets back.

You have stolen from Garry and our son Josh. If you don't have the balls to bring them back get someone else to bring them by.

If you know who has them look out, they will steal from you as well.
