Yeah, I was disappointed when I realized it wasn't Primus, but Im still dead set on going. Guaranteed to be a good time, and it will be cool to see Les play in small personal environment. Ace of Spades is the best venue in Sac, much better than the Boardwalk.

Shard? I thought they didn't have meth in Europe, only amphetamines.

Toronto is one of the cleanest big cities I have been to. I only see a handful of homeless people a day and have literally never been asked about hard drugs. Mind you I dress the part of a yuppie so I doubt I would be the target of someone like that.
thats funny, one of the first thoughts i had about Toronto it had a lot more homeless people and prostitutes than I imagined . that's not a bad thing. it's a pretty nice city, i don't have anything bad to say of Toronto.
Is it the only big city you've been to?

That's weird man. I bought ketamine off the street when I was there for a school trip. They made it pretty easy. Didn't have to ask either.
They've got good k in the T dot.

Hmmm, interesting. Come to think of it a lot of the hot girls got super fat after college. Americans are really like that, they are very cute and thin while they are young, then around age 25 they suddenly balloon up.

Except the nerdy girls. They keep improving themselves every day. Probably has a lot to do with the psychological aspect of high school. They are all super fucking hot now. In good shape. No kids. And getting papered up.

no, i know city life i lived in Madrid for 2 years and lived on 3 continents total. Madrid is also a very good city for its size.
Toronto is one of the nicer big cities Chicago is shit by comparison.

Seattle is easily the best big city I've been to. Never been out of the us though. Been to major cities in about 15 different states and nothing beats seattle imo.

I think they're talking about London Ontario.

Oh, I assume he was talking about London, England too. London, Ontario is certainly not a large city.

I was a nerd in high school. I was actually bullied all the way up until high school because I was uber-nerd status. Rolling back-pack, asthma, and thick glasses and everything.
I mean, I'm not super hot or anything, but my image is definitely way better and cooler now than when I was a nerd. It wasn't until college when I suddenly became the most popular girl in my dorms, and it was a very new phenomenon for me.

Ya its strange the culture of high school. I went to 4 different ones so that didn't help. I graduated with honors but wouldn't consider myself a nerd as I played pretty much every sport.
Never had a lot of friends and I wasn't a girl magnet. Was a pretty shitty time beside the sports and life long friends I made. I never had a clique I had friends in them though. High school is fucking stupid.
I was never really bullied though. I just kept quiet and to myself. Did turn around and get cold clocked once that wasn't very fun.

Ah crap.. the Boardwalk, been there many of times back in the 90's. Yeah I have heard good things about Ace of Spades, some bad but mostly good.
See that is the one reason I miss about living near a city. Music music and music. I used to to go to the bay area and see just about every death metal band imaginable in the early-mid 90s. Now if I want to see any metal bands it's Portland or San Francisco, 5 or 7 hours... yuck. Hell I remember seeing Morbid Angel in Placerville one time, that was only a 45 minute drive and oh was it fun.
Oh well give and take. Not to many metal bands I want to see these days anyways. Right... right...

I'd rather be in the city, but I have an anxiety problem and a social phobia. I used to have panic attacks on the streets of Melbourne, Australia, where I lived right in the CBD for 6 months or so.
Haven't had a panic attack in a while but I still get horrible anxiety when I get back in the city. I've just given up. Fuck it eh.
Just live in a small country town of maybe 500. I don't even do anything here, don't even go to the shops here, it's the next-size-up town that any shopping goes down in, but even that place is too small for a job - there's NEVER any new jobs there. Pretty much have no life except video games and I go exploring across the state in my car with my brother.
Have to get back to Melbourne for a job and a life but still too anxious/insane (I also have schizophrenia). Also depressed.
I guess I'll just stay here until I'm all patched up. Maybe in a year, maybe two... I'll try a bigger town on the way to Melbourne, at least. Or else I'll never live, I'll just be some weirdo in some ghost town.
