2025-2026 NFL Season: Donnie What? Football • Page 481

Claudio has always been super great to meet

Dan from TWY is also a good one

Jeff Rosenstock is probably another one that I’ve loved every interaction I’ve had with him. Back in the BTMI days he fucked up stenciling my shirt and felt so bad he went and found a backup lol

 

ive been using AP since like, 2007ish but never really posted in forums until chorus

 

The guys from Caracara are super awesome. Gotten to chat and hang with Will and Sean a few times when I’ve seen them and they’re always so cool and gracious with their time. Definitely some other life-affirming moments for me.

2022 was a very special year in my life so I was I will always look back fondly on those memories and experiences

 

well it's just you and jason that worked for ap during the spin years that are still around right? like didn't you move across the country to work for the site?

 

I know most of you guys probably arent in to them, but I met Early November and Ace numerous times and they were always super cool

hopefully they don't have any scandals about them that I dont know about

 

NFG were kinda dinks when I booked them. It was mostly their manager who had a real "look how big of an asshole I am" vibe to them. Also creepy dude was still in the band and apparently was out partying with sorority girls after the show.

Wiz Khalifa was as high as I've ever seen a human being be. He found out I worked at Apple and wanted an iPad so he just tossed me $10k and asked me to bring him the best iPad and his change to his next show.

FYS were super chill when I booked them, despite a bunch of shit going wrong

A Loss For Words were fine though they brought JJR with them and I didn't know about him at the time which stinks.

Foxy Shazam were the coolest fucking dudes

Big D and the Kids table were fine but asked me to go source drugs for them

Mims was a piece of shit who blasted gunshot sounds on a college campus and didn't understand why people were mad

 

oh I forgot about Claudio. He was SO nice when we got to chat during Warped Tour.

 

triple h finger point



seeing what Dan and that band have become since 2010 is truly so cool and wild.

 

He's super nice and friendly, but dude is a pain in the ass to trade with in fantasy football lol

 

Worst person to deal with is the dude from 3EB. Grade A piece of shit

 

oh yeah for sure - Jason and I were the only people to get paid to run AP.net for a while and yeah I could've done it from home but the then Buzzmedia at the time wanted to have someone in the LA office for their investors and me being that guy to show investors will never not be the most hilarious shit ever

 

i weirdly knew about ace enders and a million different people before i knew about TEN - I really really like In Currents and Imbue nut haven't listened to much else

 

lol JT also told me that guy fucking sucked while we were getting lunch before that Bengals game over 15 years ago hahaha

 

also, I dont know how many of you guys are into Valencia, but one of my good friends in college went to HS with them and we got to hang with them a few times and they were cool guys

Shane is also good friends with my wife's best friend's sister. Their other sister unfortunately passed away a few years ago and he came to the funeral and played a few songs in her honor.

 

Nicest musician I met was Bono. We did shots at alexions until 2 am. I’ll never forget that night.

 

Finch was the biggest POS band I ever met. They were complete assholes to us while we were setting up on stage. They got drunk and started throwing beer bottles while performing.

 

I did actually manage to catch this tour, I remember they released a ton of balloons from the ceiling during one of their closing songs.

Dude has always rocked, one of the best and still somehow underrated bands ever

 

The year we booked JEW, 3EB was our primary target and the agent we were working with basically ordered us to avoid them because he had had so many negative run-ins in the past with him. Dude has a wild reputation.

 

Tucker from Thursday is another one who was awesome to meet and chat with back in 2017. I remember I was freshly sober at the time and was briefly talking with him about it because Geoff said during the show how he had gotten sober recently too. Tucker was super supportive and even introduced me to a friend of his who was sober chat with me and help offer me guidance and support. It was really sweet

 

It’s insane to see their progression. Seeing them at a shithole venue in Romeo, MI in like 2009 to where they are now is genuinely wild and am so glad they’ve had the success they have.

being at an Upsides release show is one of my favorite show memories and it’s so wild to think about

 

He refuses to wear his passes and instead forces entire venues to print his picture out and say “do not ask this man for identification”

fucking prick. Treats venue workers like shit.

 

Nice band? Caspian

 

been posting on AP/chorus since 2003 lol

 

Lol Sammy Adams also tried to do this which was funny. His manager was like "do you know who this is???" like "yeah? the dude who ripped off Asher Roth? who cares?"

Glad to see all the tremendous success that dude has had

 

I made an account on AP in 2007 but didn’t become a regular poster until 2009 or so
