RANN, your biography is like a space-time paradox. At various points you've said you were going to underground squat parties in the mid-90s, you were a regular clubber by 1998, you've worked in record stores, music hardware stores, moved to Canada in the early 00s and then the US, and apparently had a ten year career in a bike shop somewhere in all of that, and yet you're not close to 40 yet? |
If we're the same age (35) then this is sort of doable, no? And don't you dare say 35 is close to 40 :mad: :p |

I started clubbing really, and frankly in hindsight worryingly, early. I looked like a child tbh, but I had what we'll call a talent for "adjusting" ID's and could bull in front of a bouncer. Helped that my Sister's BF had a friend with virtually the same name that had a driving license that apparently showed I was 19. I think the only club i ever got turned away from was the Cross, where the bouncer said, I don't give a what the ID says, there's no way you're over age.
It's a little weird you remember all that (although some of it is off). The squat parties (like pickle and whirlygig) were all ages as they weren't legal - , there were kids and even animals walking around the altter - and I moved to Canada before I was 20. Some of the jobs overlapped (I started working in bike shops when I was 12 btw as Saturday boy and then full time did it on and off for the best part of a decade).
I suppose I'm technically closer to 40 than I am to 30. I think I'm only a tiny bit older than you if memory serves correctly. |

Arf. This from the curtain-twitcher who has ten year old photos of TAs saved on his hard-drive.
RANN, I hope you have the self-awareness to note that you talk about yourself all the time. You've brought up clubbing in the '90s and working in various record/gear shops dozens of times in various places. The decade stint in a bike shop came up in the helmet debate, which left me wondering where you'd managed to squeeze that in.
