I believe Jackie O to be the Headliner for the general forum. Would like to always agree with her but can't, she's always funny, always super over the top about how strongly she gets into her issues. It's awesome. Quezo has the world's best avatar. It's a cool way to hang out with minds you respect without having to exchange formalities. You can check in at your leisure and only contribute when you feel strongly enough. I think HFC and Hooray For Everything simultaneously pressured me into checking out the Shizz for the first time, (wierd huh?), but those types of comedians can't all be wrong, all the time.

For me, I had been catching local shows for a bit and I thought that there were a lot of awesome people doing awesome things. So, I figured that plugging into The Shizz would be another neat way to connect to that.
I stick around because you folks are genuinely fun, cool, and good.

dammit. you figured me out!
i got introduced to the shizz by Ryan McKee (he also introduced me to Fatigo and the Hollywood Alley and The Paper Heart.....the list goes on).
I posted on it for my zine but then I lurked for several years. Then i thought Fuck It. It's time I stopped trolling and started contributing.
and now it's fun! and i have fun and you all are fun. you make me use emoticons frequently.
and it's a cool way to promote what you have going on while checking out what others are doing. Very cool.

My thesis is called the "Black-Emperor-Says Theory" and holds that any any Phoenix-area indie rock festival there is a 100 percent probability that Emperors of Japan, Black Carl, and/or What Laura Says will be on the bill.

Got into it after meeting so many bands through the oooooold paperheart.
I think we had a TS account for like a year but forgot the password and couldn't get on.
Eventually Donald straightened it all out and I started posting shows, basically just trolling for audience to be honest.
THEN, I started working office jobs, and oh this internet world did grow upon me.
A community like no other.
Danger though: I'm now considering joining other boards, to get my comicbook geek fix.
But I don't think I can handle the jackasses the sites I see seem to foster.
Yea. Its good to know the people you post at in person, keeps it real real.

Why do I post on the Shizz...
Okay so if you ever start a video game inspired band of any kind you will at some point hear about the Minibuses. Strangely when I first started getting involved with VGM I had only heard a few Boss Tracks, but was more familiar with the Advantage. At any rate after a year or so of digging into the Video Game Music scene, I caught wind of Magfest and every once in a while I would hear about "the shizz". I was told by a few people that the shizz was inhabited by a bunch of elitist butt-heads who won't give you the time day, and that trying to post on this board was basically a huge waste of time, and that I should spare myself the discomfort of getting crapped on by anonymous jerks, in a failed attempt to discuss all things music, and video game, and funny and so forth.
So I just kinda took that advice at face value, never really being big on message boards to begin with, and just remained aware of the shizz but didn't post for years. But then last year at this concert featuring the VGO or Video Game Orchestra I met this fellow through a friend of mine and we started talking about Magfest and the bands that year and things of the like, and he was like "hey, you ever post on the shizz?" and was I like "naw, I heard they were a bunch jerks on there...no thanks" and he says” no man you should its good times" so I started reading some threads and found out...There are plenty of jerk ass mo fo's on this board but for every one of them there is a dozen smart, funny, nerdy, cool people to talk to. I gotta say even though there has been some BS on this board from time to time, it's pretty cool. I’ve heard a lot of cool music from this board and been made privy to an endless amount on knowledge and interesting tid bits of info. shizz is good times...mostly.
