It shouldve been embarrasing but I had no shame.... The girls at the door let me in free one night but I had to let them write all over my white t-shirt. I hitchhiked all day the next day with "Punk Sucks Better" on my shirt.IP: Logged |

mine is right now thinking back on how "Road Warrior" influenced my fashion choices.

Oh god... what a great topic!
I'll have to think about it awhile.
I've never been too bright.

Aww, you guys were good enough to make my girlfriend buy a tape. "Multiphasic, multiphasic, multiphasic personality test" or something like that 
______________ Most embarassing thing... hmmmmmm so many to choose from... maybe trying to bleach my hair by combing Hylex thru it (it actually worked, kinda). The XXL brown bomber jacket I got when I asked for a leather jacket. Any show that the Subversives have played... just kidding. IP: Logged |

I may regret this, but oh well.
I haven't been a punk as long as you old farts, but I think some may relate:
'92 (about ninth grade)after school-
I stole one of my mom's half-smoked cigs out of the coffee can/ashtray on the deck, borrowed my bro's DK record, smoked & played air guitar to "Kill the poor" (I think).
Bro walked in, caught me dancing/jammin' out, laughed, then told me he was gonna kick my ass for playing his records....
Seriously embarrassing:
Gave myself terrible dreadlocks using Elmer's glue my first month in college. That was almost 6 years ago though, gimme some slack. Man, my head itched so bad... Pierced my own lip with a huge sewing needle-god, I was a fucking idiot!! Very 90's.IP: Logged |

I got busted dancing to the Dead Kennedys too. This was in 1983 or so and I did not realize my mom was home napping. So I had "Holiday in Camnbodia" up to "Spinal Tap eleven" when my mom busted into my room, saw me dancing and yelled. Scared me so bad that I fucking shit my pants! I get an eye twitch and a funny feeling in my tummy now when I hear that song. quote:

Actually went to I think it was the Dead Kennedys in 1983 - 1986 something like that? Came in AFTER the show (like a little poser queen) in a black and white striped top and skirt and started dancing like molly ringwald in breakfast club with my big hear, black boots and red lipstick to the music they were playing as people started to leave! Some punks tried to break the floor with my head. Um.. yeah. They didn't!! I kept right on dancing!
What a dolt.

One time after stumbling home from the Uptown Bar (was it Killdozer? Flaming Lips? Don't remember.)and passing out in bed, I woke up to find a large wet spot on my crotch. I immediately calle up my then-girlfriend and asked what the hell did she think she was doing, pouring warm water on me like that...IP: Logged |

I feel your pain Peeper...
I lived in Edina and came into the "Big City" to go to shows with my friends who went to West High. On one particular evening we all dressed up to go to a Wallets show at the Gutherie...50's prom dresses...rhinestones etc. I was in a lovely pink net strapless number! Someone decided it was a good idea to head down to 7th St. to see the Circle Jerks. They all had the luxury of changing first I went as I was...I remember 2 very tough girls in black leather trying to pick a fight with me all night due to my very inappropriate garb. Embarassing at the time due to my suburban sensitivity issues...brilliant now that I can look back and laugh! IP: Logged |

On tour with the band X, Soul Asylum and crew
get invited to party with the band. We arrive
at the hotel lobby, call upstairs to announce our arrival. We are greeted in the lobby by Billy Zoom and TJ. They inform us that the rest of the band just don't think it
a good idea to have all that fun in the room,
but here's something for you guys. We are presented milk and cookies for our own party.
I still think it's one of the funniest things
to have happen. IP: Logged |

I am the Queen when it comes to taking the involuntary way down those staircases. So if anyone sees some gal somersault down the stairs 9 times out of 10 it's me. The beauty of it is that I always rebound well.... IP: Logged |

Well...I wore a pair of red Converse High Top tennis shoes for a while. I thought they were very cool until one day while using the public restroom I heard a child yell "Hey mom, there is a clown in here! I can see his shoes!" I never wore those again![This message has been edited by farm girl (edited 05-20-2002).] IP: Logged |

I was drunker than a skunk at a bar in Madison watching the replacements who were opening up for X. I was in a particularly punk rock like foul mood and was heckling Tommy Stinson the whole set. And the whole time he kept kicking me and trying to take me out, I think I was kicked in the head. But we were all drunk including the replacements, so it didn't matter. The next day I read the review and it talked about some pain in the ass guy in the front row who kept nagging Tommy. That was me and my claim to fame! IP: Logged |

Multiphasic? Multiphasic? Multiphasic? Eau Claire mid-late 80's? My memory is screaming. I just registered in order to ask...what was that? It's so familiar, it makes me itch. And suddenly a wash of embarassing memories come back to me. Us Menomonie kids were quite unrefined compared to our punk-stylish Eau Claire peers. We had a lot to be embarassed about. IP: Logged |

I was holding an album up in front of my face singing to the Crusifucks "please give me orders,
tell me what to do,
I'm just waiting for orders from you.
Gee how will I know what to do with my life?
If you dont tell me , I'll never get to know.
I don't want to, I don't have to,so I'm gonna take your world and trash it!Trash it! Trash it!...Trash it!!!" the stereo turns off, I'm still singing along, pull the album down over my face and there was dear old dad.
He said ," that music sounds real angry."

When I was working at the Electric Fetus('88-'91), we were all hanging around in the break room. I was reading an artical about Vanilla Ice in some magazine. I said something like "If I ever look like this guy' I'm going to have myself euthanized." Then tim Reede, of Neomort fame, asked if he could see the magazine. Then he took a Sharpie marker and scribbled messy hair on the photo in the magazine. I'll be damned if it didn't look exactly like me. Well that would've been bad enough, but then he Xeroxed about a million copies and taped them up everywhere. Very fuunnnnny. IP: Logged |

(aquanet extra super hold is not always your friend) mark lakowicz was standing right behind me, and informed me later that i had 12" flames on coming from my lovely blue hair. could it be the time i was walking in front of moby dicks, circa 1984, when my skirt that had been safety-pinned together (totally cliche, but gimme a break) -- one of the more crucial safety pins popped sending my skirt down to my ankles. could it be when i knocked a full guinness into the lap of the guitarist for one of my all-time favorite bands? this list could go on... and on...i'll shut up now IP: Logged |

funny i hadn't seen this before. my most embarassing punk rockin'moment is a very clear memory for me, and probably a couple of other people.
The esteemed straight edge hardcore meister
F.V. Havoc, maybe you've heard of him?
had just quit drinking alcohol one week prior to this event. i can't remember the show but alot of people were gathered outside the Chicago house imbibing in beverages of choice and the rumors had been flying all evening that felix had quit drinking. I was trying to be all cool with the bigger kids and asked for a sip of Felix's elixer which was iced tea. i took a sip and noticed there was not enough booze in it and so i added some, and handed the bottle back to felix who had been talking to Kerry and not paying attention to my shenanigans. Felix took one look at his Tea bottle and turned to me and asked if i had put something in his Tea. Man i get clammy just writing this. i had to confess my transgression, he said keep it and gave me a look that coulda killed. and at that moment traffic halted, music stopped, people hushed, and at the most painfully quiet moment my pal Trevor broke the silence by turning to me and saying "Whoa man, way to make friends". it gets all blurry from there on. That my friends is an embarrasing moment! i was thinking about changing the name in this story but it would not have been nearly as bad if you put "random straight edge guy" in the place of felix.
congrats Felix on many years of sobriety, (no help from me) sorry about the thingy there. IP: Logged |
