They had the privacy of bedsheets. All the other kids were mostly in comas.

Or possibly just some unexpected smooching. But that would be wrong. Double-ditto |

lol! I'd be interested in people clarifying a little, because "hook up" can mean a lot of things. The first thing that springs to my mind would be that "hook up after a THS gig" = "get it onnnnn with guy/girl on said night", but perhaps people are using it to also mean "get it onnnn with guy/girl I met at THS at some subsequent point in time as a result of our initial meeting". Are those 21 yesses talking about 1 night stands, or about the beginnings of romances? Enquiring minds need to know. Or possibly just some unexpected smooching. But that would be wrong. See! Frantic semantics! Maybe we should have a new poll which requires more detailed answers. Does this mean I have a sordid mind? Ah well. "Unexpected smooching" is very rarely wrong. Mmmm smoochies. |

Where I'm from, they encourage it. |

My yes vote was for unexpected smooching. At the Hold Steady Show in Minneapolis in July the guy behind me was dancing very close and there were smiles and hands and beer and I was having a really good time which lead to unexpected smooching. He initiated it and I returned it. It was a really great night and surprise kissing made it even better.

I am already engaged, but I want to get married on stage with THS. Do you reckon they'd go for it?

Seems I overlooked this thread. Let's just say nobody joins the road crews of on-the-up bands for the money.

First I was like "oh man, I'm so jealous". And then I was like "Ooooh yeeeeeah, forgot about that." So now I vote yes.  |

I dont even know how to comment in this thread anymore... just wow hookups are fine, to each their own. Would it be fair to translate your post as "You people are grossing me out and I'm judging you a little bit"? Just looking for clarity here. no.. its more like I was really at the point where I could not come up with a coherent thing to say in relation to what you were talking about because I was completely lost and in the dark. |

Do you want me to tell it like "Boy meets girl and the rest is history"?
Or do you want it like a murder mystery?
I'm gonna tell it like a comeback story
May 12, 2007- sometime around midnight- shortly after the final strands of feedback rang out and the house lights came up at the end of Killer Parties in Harrisburg, I was asked by McQ to stand guard at the backstage entry to fend off all the screaming fans.
So I did. And to my left were four girls. I said (in my most drunkenly authoritative voice) "Hey, you guys can't go back there. Sorry."
And they looked at me as if I just shat on their sandals and said something to the effect of "we're not trying to get back there- we're just thinking about stealing this poster [on the marquee near the exit]"
I said something to the effect of "oh, yeah. that's cool. Joo guys have enjoy the show?"
To which one of them gleefully replied "Fuck yeah man. We came all the way from Jersey for this"
My ears perked up like a puppy at her exuberance and sweaty, drunken giddyness- "YOU'RE from Jersey!? I'M from Jersey! What part of Jersey you from?"
The rest, as they say, is history.
We hung around the venue for awhile- and her friends went back to their hotel. But she and one of her friends (for some unknown reason) decided to accompany back to my apartment.
I told her I think we're soulmates. And she just laughed in a "you so crazzeeee" kind of way.
They went back to their hotel- and we texted back and forth until the sun came up-
Eighteen months later- we've reconvened twice in New York City, once in Philadelphia, road tripped to Richmond, Norfolk, Charlottesville and DC, hallucinated to Doughty back in Harrisburg, tripped out at the magnitude of sitting in a car across the street from the behemoth nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island, made mixtapes, saw dolphins frolic at dawn in Virginia, marveled at the height and awkwardness of Rob Sheffield, spent Thanksgiving together and played SkeeBall for Spider Rings at the Jersey Shore.
We've decided that it's probably a good thing that we only get to see eachother periodically- because if we were together all the time, the world, as we know it, would likely cease to exist.
I got lost in all the lights...but it was okay in the end

That may be the most touching thing I have ever read on this entire board.
I did not see that coming from jerseymike.
Thank you.

Cute stories. I met my boyfriend 5 months ago at the Madison show @ Majestic. We technically met threw a mutual friend over at the Dane prior to the show. But I guess the mumbo-jumbo didn't start until half way threw the concert and half way threw a thirty pack. I was pretty sloshed that night (As those of you who have met me, know that's typical after any THS show). As far as I remember the night, Joe came to our hotel room, we broke in to the hotel pool, I almost lost a tooth, showering in our clothes, and waking up in the same bed. I convinced him to drive back to Milwaukee and not to Green Bay. I wasn't shocked that he did, but now it blows my mind away he would be as spontaneous as that. (Now that I know him). I thought the whole thing was going to be a fling, since I was busy playing the role of bar fly and he was busy trying to be an adult. Luckily, we mesh quite while. But I'd be lying to say he was my only THS hook-up. There were a few boys @ the Orphuem a few years ago that landed me on Craigslist's Missed Connections. Turner Hall was a riot too. I don't remember much about Chicago, I think I started drinking at 3PM that day with a guy in a suit. |
