515 Crew

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, dudes. The contract at my current job may have been extended for 6 more months so I may not be moving until the winter, but we will see. I really want to get away from here so maybe something will work out.

Hey dudes, me and my girlfriend may be moving from Madison to Des Moines in August and I need some good suggestions on places to live.

Don't want to live in a shitty place or neighborhood
Need a garage
Must allow cats
Under $800/month (prefer 5-700)

Any suggestions?

What the hell!? Take it and run!!

Are one of those games super rare or something??? I didn't notice anything worth more than a couple dollars, but I could be wrong.

You could probably get $50-75 for everything on craigslist if it works well and it's clean. I have sold multiple Nintendos with one controller and mario for $50.

Have any of you heard of/been to the hobo convention or hobo museum in Britt, IA? I have some friends who went to the convention a few years ago and said it was amazing. I was able to stop by the museum on the way back from clear lake once and it's definitely worth the stop if you are in the area. T...

Varg, I don't know if you have noticed...but many cities/towns in this country have specific bike lanes set up. Madison (where I live) has bike lanes throughout the entire city which make bicycle commuting super fast and safe. Throughout most of the country there are laws which say that bikes have a...

Dude, this looks awesome! I am definitely going to do the Madison one if I am still here when it happens.

Also, $30 for a water bottle, a t-shirt, beer,free crap, snacks, and a sweet race is a pretty awesome deal.

I thought it was pretty awesome. A dude I met in Iowa City a few times, Paul Rust, was one of the basterds (in the movie of course). Nice guy.

methinks you speak of one doug roberson...of 'head candy/bent scepters/diplomats of solid sound' fame...not sure about the 'part owner' thing, though. you might want to check your facts. regardless, doug rules. watch this space. Yeah, that dude. He has always been really cool the times I have been ...

Some local business owner that also owns a few sports bars bought it. I think the reality of it is that the guy some the marketability of the Gabes name so he is changing it back in hopes that the old crowd will go there thinking it's the same again. Not going to happen. NONE of the old staff will b...

Thanks for the kind words dudes! Too bad We all moved in opposite directs a few years ago or we could play a few more shows. We never really broke up, we just got lazy and everyone moved away. Ah well.

I hope that wedding show happens. It'd be super fun.

Hey dudes, my buddies Ben and Chris are in this rad punk band called The Transgressions from here in Madison and their EP just came out so I thought I would post some spam to promote it. They are pretty awesome and they want more shows outside of Madison so if you like them you should book a show so...

Yeah, Ben is a pretty cool dude. I have been riding mopeds with him lately. His buddy Stan has a sweet warehouse and they put on shows there sometimes, and there are like two houses that put on shows a few blocks from my place. There do seem to be a lot of weasel-esque pop-punk bands here. I didn't ...

521 E. Mifflin! At 8. Hope you see this and hope to see you there.

-Joe.

Dude, that is literally like 3 blocks from my house. I will do my best to show up. Any idea who else is playing? Also, what is your bands name?

There is a new sandwich chain that just opened up here in Madison that is pretty awesome....they seem to be embracing the whole drunk/stoned craving idea pretty well. They even have a 4:20 special (4 sandwiches for 20 dollars) and they also sell booze, cigarettes, swisher sweets, and energy drinks. ...

crucial
backed
sick

I am sure there are more crucial words that are totally sick and backed by tons of sweet dudes, but I can't think of any right now. Sick.

Hey dudes, I am Chad. I am 25 and I currently live in Madison, WI but I used to live in Iowa City and I am from Cedar Falls. Currently I work in the electronics section at Target. Basically that means I do little more than answer questions about and sell Nintendo Wiis for 8 hours a day. I played gui...

We can't play the 9th because Mark wants to fly to California to remodel a kitchen that week. I told him it's cool because his business is a bit more important than playing a show at the hall mall. It sucks but shit happens. As for the 5th, I am pretty bummed but I have so much fucking stuff to do f...

Wow, imagine that.

for fucks sake. this is the FIFTH thing I really wish I could do on this date but I will be stuck in Des Moines all day/night. goddamnit.

Joe, remember to add Cruciform to the July 5th show. It will be one of their first shows and they are sweet. Really fast hardcore. Almost all of their songs are under a minute long.

Right on, I don't know how to get ahold of him so if you could pass it along that would be sweet. Let him know that Cruciform from IC wants to play and that they are sweet. This is the guy to get ahold of about it: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=2277710

There is a sweet new band from Iowa City called Cruciform that should/wants to play the CR show. They play fast, short, punk/hardcore stuff. Very good. It would be a super short set, and I am pretty their singer is buds with Jimmy anyway. If it's possible for them to get on let me know and I will ho...

Hey Joey, you going to go fill the jobs that will be empty at that fucking meat packing plant? No? Anyone else here? Oh, no one but illegal immigrants and high school dropouts wants to rip pigs open while wading through 6 inches of blood and shit? Strange.

okay, is "bitch" more appropriate? was this really worth bitching about?

Varg, have you ever paid attention to any presidential elections in the past? Because if you think this is important enough to warrant a rant I don't believe you have. This is nothing. This whole election has been pretty fucking mild compared to the last one.

I worked with a girl named Aquanetta once, I had to try so hard to not bust out laughing when I heard her name. But yeah, this article is lame. White people name their kids things like "Sunshine" and "Moonbeam" and crap like that. Dirty hippies name their kids terrible things, bl...

Gacy worked at the Taco Bell on Forest when it was a KFC.

He ran the KFC in Waterloo for a while during the 60's because his wifes Dad owned a bunch of them. Creeeeepy.
