Subject: Re: !!!!!! CONTEST !!!!!!! WHAT MAKES A REAL FAN A REAL FAN!! Author: bukowski [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:13:14 01/24/01 Wed In reply to: No one 's message, "!!!!!! CONTEST !!!!!!! WHAT MAKES A REAL FAN A REAL FAN!!" on 08:06:45 01/24/01 Wed >Okay so you all asked me for it and now we have it, a >contest! I was thinking (ouch, LOL!) and I came up >with a genious idea!! I am makeing another page for my >site and I just can't think of anything all by >myself,so I want you to send in your ideas for a "HOW >TO BE A REAL FAN" page. It can be just anything you >think of that makes you think, >"WOW, that person is a REAL fan!!" Real Fans...hmmm...im guessing this is a band-specific contest, so with that in mind.... Real Fans... Have been to more shows than you can count on one hand, know every set list by heart, each in-between-tune rap, plus any unexpected variances, and how many earrings were worn by the performers each night. Think the band deserves all awards ever given, even for female vocalist. Well, there was that drag rendition on Jay! That qualifies!!! Know every track on every record, every liner note, every color of hair, every session player listed. Although they still wonder about that long set of initials in the dedication. Can turn every topic smoothly into a segue that refers in some way, however blatant or oblique, to their idols. Example: "How's the weather?" fan response: "Oh, not nearly as bad as Buffalo's!" or...."How's the job coming?" fan response: "Oh, not making nearly as much as my plumber!" "Do you like your new hair cut?" f.r.: "Oh, not nearly as much as Johnny's!" you get the concept.... And of course, some would say, being a real fan means....bashing your heroes for smoking, drinking, wearing something you hate, not playing long enough, having a romance, not stopping to socialize when you scream like a banshee at them, or having the gall to think you're a stalker when all you have is love, pure love, undying love, for your band. after all, you picked out that pez dispenser yourself! it cost money! and you never got a thank you note! not one damn word, and all the trouble you went to, to talk the security guy into letting you thru the barricade, and he wasn't even cute. Dont they appreciate all you've done for them??? Don't they? Well screw them they've: gone hollywood forgot the fans forgot who they are forgot weeeeee own them!!! Can i get an amen? wink wink, as noone would say... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: !!!!!! CONTEST !!!!!!! AMEN !!!!!!! Author: No one [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:23:16 01/24/01 Wed yes you have the right idea there, but there has to be more, I have to fill up a whole page! Here's a few more, 1. Can get to the center front of the stage, even if they are the last one in the venue. 2. Becomes a fanzine Editor in order to write off expenses and get closer to the band. 3. After seeing a Goo poster in a store front window, attaches herself to said window and drools all over it. 4. Becomes friends with complete idiots because they claim to be connected. and there are plenty more, so keep submitting them!! Love you guys, *wink wink* [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
