Vegan penpals!
So, I've noticed how all our profiles have a little section about what we're here for - friendship, penpals and so on. Back in the day, dear vegans, I used to be quite the correspondant. The other day I was considering reviving my old hobby of letter-writing, and what better place to start than here?
I personally love getting mail, usually all that drops through my door are bank statements or letters from my university. Here's the plan. You guys fill in the form below if you want to correspond with someone, and hopefully we can engineer some penpal matches. I figure if you're a subscriber you can contact people directly via message; if not you can arrange swapping email addresses and then, if it takes your fancy, postal addresses.

I have a couple of bad religion CD's, but the one I REALLY want is the album with "Infected" on it....you can't find it anywhere becasue it's so old. I guess I'll just order it online. Bad Religion is awesome though!

PB, it does seem that Stranger Than Fiction and The Gray Race are difficult to find for some reason...which is weird to me since they were released on a big record label.
Someone say Bad Religion? Love em, one of my favorite bands. Seen em live about 10 or 12 times. Was actually just listening to The Empire Strikes First and Suffer during my run yesterday ;)b

I'm totally jealous. I still haven't seen them live. I need to. I also need to see NOFX and Propagandhi live sometime before I die.

I've seen NOFX and I believe Propagandhi as well. Definitely see Bad Religion. They've been doing it for almost 30 years and they still sound awesome.

yes, I just looked for it again today and no luck.....dammit I guess I will just have to order it!
NOFX is another good one....I saw someone mention them. What is really cool is sirius satelite radio has an all PUNK station....and they only play the good stuff. I love it!
