I'm 22 .. I don't think Pogs came out until I was in highschool .. the only pogs I had came in a cereal box at some point. Although I have a vague recollection of playing with those 2 pogs on my porch so now I'm confused :freak:

I too used to collect pogs. I still hsve mine in a album made for pogs, almost like a baseball card album but the slots hold pogs. I also have a variety of metal and plastic slammers. Ahhh... to reminisce in my 4th grade days (I think that is when we used to collect them.)

P.S. we also played for keeps but I don't think my school ever banned them.

I LOVED POGS!!!!!!!!! :love:

I had a few steel slammers.........and SOOO many Pogs. I actually bought the collecting case sleeves for them. Sad...........but at the same time, happy. Pog days were good days:)

As for Audiovent. They kick ass! Maybe Alan doesn't agree.......but I love them. They sounded amazing both times I saw them live. They are the nicest guys, the cd is awesome, their live show is awesome. Jason is an awesome performer. Yea, they are Incubus members little bros, but they don't sound THAT much alike, and have NEVER used that to help them get popular.

In Anaheim some kid held out his cell phone when Jason came over, he grabbed it and held it up to the mic and sang a few lines into it, then gave it back. Holy shit........imagine being on the other end of that phone? I would piss myself with excitement....as the saying goes. :wink:

I wasn't too into pogs, but everyone else was and I wanted to be popular, so I got some cheap generic ones at the 99 cent store. Unfortunately, no pogs would have been better than cheap generic ones, cause I got made fun of a lot for them, and to this day I keep them deep in the bottom of one of my drawers, where I never have to be reminded of the pain they made me endure. So, in a way, I can attribute the attitude, with which I today approach life, to the mightly pog, who first threw me on the the skillet for the popular people, so they could roast me to a pulp, and change my life forever. Pogs...devil's sperm :|

Ugh. My mom has always liked to buy things for me. I have a bunch of pogs that I don't want but can't get rid of because my mom got them for me a long time ago and it might hurt her if she found out I got rid of them.

back to the topic of audiovent, though...
i saw em open for bush back in april and their vocals werent drowned out at all. usually its cause of the venue that that will happen. like when i saw olp in austin in july, u couldnt hear the vocals anywhere near as well as u could at the houston show the next day.
there are some bands, though, that do drown out their vocals under their guitars...
ie. blink 182, or at least the 3 times ive happened to see them...u could barely hear them singing.
but theres been numerous bands ive seen at different venues and at some u could the vocals perfectly, and others barely at all

I seen Audiovent open for TRUSTcompany and Adema, and i thought they did very well... this was the first i had heard of them but it was enough for me to go buy the CD, and i like it too.... they arent close to my favorite band, but i do often pop in the CD :nod:

AND i called the whole "related to incubus thing" at the concert... i said the lead singer had to be brandon boyds brother... of course i was just joking till i found out he was, but we wont share that little detail :wink:

Heh, pointless hostility is funny.

Most of your posts on this thread are therefore hilarious.
