Say something nice about another ILXor

i saw hadrian at the record show last sunday. haven't seen him for years. though i don't think he posts here much anymore if at all. i was just thinking when we were driving thru northampton the other day about the time i saw momus on the street. such a weird person to see on the street in western mass.

i feel bad that i haven't seen adamrl in years. he lives right up the road from me! though i don't think he has posted here in forever.

I love adamrl

He sent me cdrs.

I'll just throw in how happy I am that scott is back in action around these parts.

cosign re: scott.

i miss Hadrian!

I miss Hadrian too and I was a complete shit to him on one occasion back in 2020 and still feel bad about it.

speaking of irl ilxor times, i just ran into Stevie D on my bike ride home from work. :-)

<3

hope he's ok and bandaged up!

groan

(he’s a bottle blond and is about to switch to a better department at his job, seemed well!)

Stevie D seems like a cool person to meet.

as do you sleeve and tabes

likewise Neando.

Stevie D and I had a fabulous time drinking and eating and checking boys out when he was in town in 2012.

created the amazing Rebecca Black Friday list thread also

Stevie D is amazing IRL and spouse and I want him to come live with us.

Last time we were together I tried to convince him he needed to lead the charge in establishing and old ilxors home with him as executive and activity director.

Lxy and jergins secretly arranged with my husband to surprise me with a fly-by visit a few years ago, which was lovely except that I was mega depressed at the time so I don’t think i was much fun :/ Luckily it was not my first time meeting them. Have been lucky enough to meet a ton of ilxors.

Table was the first person I got drunk with when I moved to the US! Jesus fuck that was 16yrs ago

I deeply regret not meeting vegemitegrl before I moved states

It is silly that you two lived so close for so long and never met.

Which one of you is "Cat Collector?" They live less than 20 miles away from me and have lots of ILXor friends on FB.

xxp that is clouds/corey, excellent poster/person <3

(they used to post under both names)

sorry that was to Christine

I have not seen them post here in quite some time but WKIW 100%

clouds is a legend

you are all very nice. i have met dozens of IlxOrs over the years and they have all been SO nice. so so nice. even Matos! haha. #kidding #kinda

i have always felt at home talking to ilx people. even ones i didn't know well. its like i could finally speak my native language. its a relief. and i can talk faster too. not Ned fast but fast. i always thought that Ned had the coolest mile a minute brain until i met Andy Zax in person. whoooo boy he is a trip! uh but he doesn't come here i don't think. he should have.

doing that record show last weekend i just talked to byron coley all day and by the end of the day my voice was shot! mostly because he is deaf in one ear - i know right? now you know why he likes so much fucked up music. he doesn't know that its fucked up! - but also because i can just say ANYTHING to him. it just rolls right off of him. and same with people here. a rad bunch for sure. i don't talk to people much like that on the regular.

omg how could I have omitted I met Veg and her lovely husband also!!!! and jaymc as he reminded me. man I blame covid i swear iIve forgot more than i recall.

even Matos! haha. #kidding #kinda

looool

i've hung out around him a few times and it's apparently hit-or-miss whether he's totally engaging/neutral/bizarrely rude af

I haven't been to Scott's store in a long time and I'm annoyed that I don't get up that way more.

(aside, every ILXor I've met has been fab)

scott, a friend and i were talking about taking a trip up your way this summer, will stop in the shop if we do

yall are v sweet

clouds <333

and i can talk faster too. not Ned fast but fast. i always thought that Ned had the coolest mile a minute brain until i met Andy Zax in person. whoooo boy he is a trip! uh but he doesn't come here i don't think. he should have.

Ha, as someone who was in conversation with Andy last week in LA for PopCon, it's true...we can chat quickly. (I think Andy knows about here but has never swung by.) Anyway, too kind a comment of course!

very much appreciating rob's ability to thread needles with clarity in typed messageboard format, glad u are here

Yes ^^

As someone who is perpetually foggy and and indirect, I appreciate rob’s clarity

thirded

Rob rules but more importantly always comes across as very thoughtful and kind.

yeah he's a mensch

Crüt is hilarious and I am glad he is still here

hard agree

yes

Nearly everyone on this board is kind and thoughtful. Even the few who have more, er, direct personalities come across as thoughtful. Looking at some old posts, I don't think that was always the case.

aw thanks sarahell, VG, sleeve!! i'm grateful for y'all <3

oh gosh what a lovely bunch you all are! if any of you are ever in Montreal, do please ilx-mail me

I'm bad about remembering to post itt, so while I'm here let me note that I always enjoy reading Daniel_Rf post about any of the wide range of subjects he is smart & witty about

didn’t realize you were in montreal, rob. tho it makes sense that the boards one other yves jarvis fan would be a local. i’m moving back next year :)
