Queenie:
it's just big, dumb sincerity. and you can either come have fun with us or sit there rolling your eyes, counting the minutes till you can go back home and listen to european trance. but you know what, european trance never changed anybody's life. but there's a whole generation of guys out there whose lives were significantly altered by hearing gene simmons at a formative age, and for two hours in that theater, we make it okay for those guys to admit it.

Queenie:

Queenie:
here, check this out, this is part of an actual email from an actual dude, he sent this after the show:
When I wore a towel as a cape, I learned that a strip of fabric sewn on one side and velcro'ed on the other will keep the cape in place, and will allow you to rip it off with a dramatic flare during the opening bass strains of "God of Thunder" on Kiss Alive. You didn't hear that from me, though.
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 12:50:32 pm)
Queenie:
how many people do you think that guy feels safe sharing that story with? not a whole goddamn lot, I bet.

(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:06:28 pm)
bela:
Hi.

Decoy:
You know what, I bet if you sent a tape or dvd of that to Gene Simmons that he would tell you what he honestly thought. Even if it was just one word.
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:10:53 pm)
Decoy:

bela:
I have to have another meeting with them. I wonder if HR told them about my email this morning. I won't be bullied by them, thats all. In my meeting with them on Tuesday this dude brian said "if things don't change you will no longer have a job here". But they aren't giving me any evidence of unsatifactory work performance. I just can't believe how ameteruish these people are. My manager told me "people have been saying things to her", I don't think she can use vague 3rd party references as evidence against me. I asked her if she had evidence of my lapsing on a project and she didn't. THis is just crazy.
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:17:18 pm)
bela:
This guy is totally threatening me but they don't have any evidence I've done anything wrong. Its entirely personal.
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:20:06 pm)
bela:
They ambush me too. They don't give me prior notice that they want to meet with me either - they show up and pull me in a conference room. I think its a strategy on their part.
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:20:49 pm)
bela:
amateurish.

Chewing Wax:
Maybe they're all pod people or something and you can't be absorbed into their collective mind because you're so sassy.
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:42:24 pm)
Chewing Wax:
They have to get rid of you. It's self preservation
(Thu Jan 22, 2004 - 2:42:47 pm)
bela:
If they see me as nothing more than a silly punk rock girl they are way underestimating me.
