It was my first time seeing Matt or the band and it started to pour. Most people huddled under the tents 100 yards away from the stage, but there were about 20 of us sticking it out in the rain by the stage. He felt bad so he invited us up onto the (covered) stage with him. It was only a 4 song radio promo thing, but a very awesome experience to be right there.</p> <p>I know I didn't pick *just* 1, but ... oh well. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/if-you-had-to-pick-just-one-concert#post-6584 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:51:01 +0000 malary 6584@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>haha, if i saw nsync when i was 12 or 13 i probably would have loved it just as much. 1998-2000 were the peak years of my nsync-fan life. and by peak, i mean i was absolutely obsessed. </p> <p>i actually still like some of the songs.... they played an important role in my childhood, i can't just forget about them? </p> <div class="signature">that little red caboose just starts to work that old smoke stack...</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/if-you-had-to-pick-just-one-concert#post-6583 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:47:08 +0000 Steph 6583@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Okay, this is extremely embarrassing, but I would probably pick my first concert: *NSYNC. At the time, I was 11 and soooo completely obsessed with *NSYNC. It was a dream come true to see them and made me realize how exciting live music can be! (Although I still cringe when I think about how awful some of these songs are...) </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/if-you-had-to-pick-just-one-concert#post-6578 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:31:48 +0000 starry83 6578@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>I just saw David Gray from ~12 feet away, at a rooftop pool deck in Boston. It's so incredibly rare to see him in the US, and more so to be in such an intimate, awesome "venue." That might win.</p> <p>I'm also phenomenally pumped to see the Sixers right down the block from my house at the Somerville Theater in October. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/if-you-had-to-pick-just-one-concert#post-6576 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:42:06 +0000 malary 6576@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>what would you pick as your favorite? (anyone, not just sk6ers - which is why this is in non-sk6ers discussion).</p> <p>include every aspect when choosing and try to come up with the overall best! </p> <p>this was pretty hard butttt i think my favorite would definitely be Hanson's performance on Lido deck on TRBIX. Just all around the best and perfect and it will be so hard to top that...and i will be very surprised if something does. </p> <div class="signature">that little red caboose just starts to work that old smoke stack...</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/take-the-walk-madison-wi-september-26#post-6561 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:27:01 +0000 Andrea4 6561@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Bump again, sorry. And I am an idiot. I actually talked to a Hanson fan a little bit at the SK6ERS show last night and I didn't even think to tell her about the walk. She didn't seem like a huge fan anyways, but I think she went to some Hanson shows last year so I think she would have known what the walks were about. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/take-the-walk-madison-wi-september-26#post-6526 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:56:51 +0000 Andrea4 6526@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Bump again, sorry if it's annoying. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/wtf-why-havent-i-been-here-in-forever#post-6525 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:32:01 +0000 acoustic11 6525@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>someone fill me in on the latest from rellogg. </p> <div class="signature">- Kim</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/take-the-walk-madison-wi-september-26#post-6489 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:38:06 +0000 Andrea4 6489@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Just bumping this so it stays under hot threads.

I'm just helping a friend get as many people there as possible. She has been organizing everything.</p> <p>Some of you probably know what the walks are about but if you don't here's my description. The walks are something that Hanson started. What they do is before every concert, they invite fans to take a one mile barefoot walk to raise awareness and support causes to fight poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa. They also give one dollar for every person that records their mile to one of five causes. You don't have to walk barefoot unless you want to.</p> <p>But you can also host your own walk so that's what we're doing. Hanson will also donate one dollar for every walker at our walk. So if you're in the Madison, Wisconsin area please join us! </p> <p>Here are the details:<br /> Start time 12:00PM<br /> Start location: 500 Lincoln Dr University of Wisconsin campus on top of Bascom Hill. It is directly in front of Bascom Hall. </p> <p>If you want more info please contact my friend Melissa Leedle at <a href="mailto:trackstar@hanson.net">trackstar@hanson.net</a><br /> or me Andrea Busch at <a href="mailto:shooting_starz04@hotmail.com">shooting_starz04@hotmail.com</a></p> <p>Also here's the link to it on Takethewalk.net <a href="http://www.takethewalk.net/site/takethewalk/walk/details?id=295" rel="nofollow">http://www.takethewalk.net/site/takethewalk/walk/details?id=295</a> </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/anyone-use-twitter#post-5957 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:29:15 +0000 tam5070 5957@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>I really think @Sk6ers should tweet more but maybe I'm just greedy. </p> <p>I suggest downloading TweetDeck for mac/windows for anyone that uses twitter.

THAT was gross, i dont even like meat, but i needed two jobs that summer and i was desperate. </p> <p>the deli one is maybe tied with this camp job i had (that same summer actually...and that summer obviously sucked) ....a camp for people...of all ages...with disabilities...all kinds, physical and mental. it was an... interesting experience. it was rewarding in a sense and im glad i did it and got through it, but holy crap it SUCKEDDDDDDDDDDD at times and i dont even like saying that i did certain things there... some disgusting things. </p> <div class="signature">that little red caboose just starts to work that old smoke stack...</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/your-most-embarrassing-job#post-5746 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:11:22 +0000 lilseeky729 5746@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>I made the BIGGEST mistake of my life this year when I went to Toys R Us on black friday. The line went all the way around the store and then some. They had to block off isles to make sure you couldn't butt in line and the employees had to act like security guards. I left after I realised it was going to take me more than three hours. </p> <p>Haha Rave IS ghetto, Bethany!</p> <p>You might not think so, but my most embarassing job ever was working at a video store. I thought it would be cool, but it really sucked. Yeah, I got free movies, but I never return them on time, anyway, so I'd end up with three different late fees every time. I could tell you horror stories about it, but it would take a really long time. </p> <div class="signature">_Rebecca_</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/your-most-embarrassing-job#post-5740 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:21:13 +0000 essenceandart 5740@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>i worked at the ghetto-tastic clothing store, rave. it was not embarrassing so much as AWFUL. </p> <div class="signature">&lt; bethany &gt;</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/your-most-embarrassing-job#post-5736 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:00:20 +0000 BWilly84 5736@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Mine's not that embarrassing, just sucked in general.

I HATE FRAPPUCINOS, lol, i really do...and come june-august, my store is maddness with summer drinks....especially when kids are out of school. i work at a drive thru on a popular street so its like constant and i wanted to kill myself everyday last summer working there. </p> <div class="signature">that little red caboose just starts to work that old smoke stack...</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/jobs-jobs-jobs#post-5612 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:15:22 +0000 hitzphillygirl 5612@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>I feel ya, Mal. I'm starting to get worried, especially with tour season coming up. All the job postings on CraigsList are either things that I'm not qualified to do, jobs that I probably <em>could</em> do, but "experience necessary", or too far away for me to get to.
