That’s crazy. About 5 years ago my family went to visit my sister in LA. One day while we were there I got roped into watching my niece in a hair salon while my sister got her hair done. So I'm sitting in the salon lobby, bored as fuck, watching my niece and who walks in but Bret fucking McCracken. At first I was kind nervous and freaked out, I'd just kinda glance at him every now and then, trying not to freak him out. But then my fucking niece starts crying and fidgeting and shit and won't shut up. So I'm trying to keep my niece quiet and not bother Bret, when oops, too late, he gets up and walks over to us. He just smiled and stroked her hair, and asked me what was wrong. I said I didn't know. Then he looked at me with those penetrating blue eyes and simply said in that soothing voice "She seems like she's hungry." Then he lifted up his shirt and breastfed my niece right there in the salon lobby. True story.
I mean, I understand that he probably can't afford 15 candy bars these days but there's no need to be a jerk about it!
He does the same thing in The Used thread too haha. He also got caught once quoting himself by mistake, probably forgetting to switch to his alt account.
I met him at a stop on their first ever Warped where he was selling CDs and I told him I thought their set was good (I didn't know any better at the time) and all he cared about was trying to sell me a CD so he could get beer money or whatever. he's always been a douche
Now that I think about it MCR have to open the show with The Taste of Ink. Anything else would just feel plain wrong.
I just remembered when someone on AP said the only reason MCR were bigger than the used was because Gerard was better looking than Bert
Sorry for the double post but its funny that he was brought up here. I just listened to the new Used single the other day and immediately texted my buddies saying "i'm now convinced the first record was a fluke"
He legitimately quoted himself to agree with a crazy thing he said that no one agreed with, it was amazing
Lol it's sad though because that was such a great album! I think they still make good music, but it's hit or miss and not any solid albums like the first
Lol I mean who wouldn't agree with themself! Lol j/k crazy to make a separate account for it tho . I like that dude tho because I like following The Used conversation.
so is this MCR Roxy thing happening or what, i'm gettin' anxious over here with all the Bert fanfic taking over this thread
I met Bert McCracken at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere, Bert McCracken shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big The Used fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” Bert was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, Bert McCracken and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.
