I've lurked on these forums for god-knows how long.

And I visit this place every damn day.

The realization of how stupid I am for refraining from participating in what appears to be an epically awesome community has finally forced me out of the shadows.

In addition to chatting with some of you during the Yowie live chat thingy that Devy did earlier today! That was awesome! Shout out to Faffy for being hilarious and showing off an adorable Ziltoid puppet! :3

So for some brief, formulaic history about myself: My name's Tammy. I've been a Devhead for about a year and a half after one of my friend's introduced me with "Addicted." And after listening to the majority of his solo stuff and some SYL, I am in love... in the totally non-worshipping, musically-appreciative way... but still very intensely in love I currently live in California, U.S., after moving from Idaho (oh god), and I go to school at University of California, Berkeley. I'm planning on majoring in Computer Science, which has been a pretty awesome track so far, but my mid-term for my current CS class is tomorrow night.

ON THE SAME NIGHT AS THE DTP CONCERT IN SAN FRANCISCO. GRRRRR.

I'm fairly upset about that, to say the least, but he'll be back around, right? So are there any other bay area Dev fans here?

Also, I think I need to throw out more kudos to you all. I've creeped on here for quite some time, long enough that I witnessed the collective jizzing over the Sumeria leak way back when (actually not THAT long ago, hah). I regularly add pictures from the "Funny Pictures" thread to my folder of lulzy pictures on my computer, and I have to say that the photoshopped pics of Dev thread and Dev Memes thread are probably the greatest thing. Ever. (If someone has a high res picture of Dev's shocked face with the "recycle" bubble, I'd put that all over my trashcans immediately ) Also, two other memorable moments that I need to commend: 1. Someone dropped the phrase "That is tits" in response to something awesome. Don't remember what, but I thought the line was fucking hilarious. 2. After seeing the "Feather makes me cry" thread proceeded by a "Texada makes me fart" thread, I about died. You guys are great

Well, that's pretty much all I wanted to say at this point. I hope I'll become active and get to know you all, but for now, just know that I've really appreciated the camaraderie here

OH WAIT, ONE MORE THING. LOOK AT WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL TODAY.

Welcome to the world of non-lurking!

Howdy fellow Bay Area fan! He usually doesn't miss here on a tour, but I really would make the trek when you can. Mind you, Muni drops me off at Slim's after 15 minutes, so I'm not exactly coming from Berkeley.

But yeah, these forums are RAD to say the least, I've made some killer friends whom I'm going to visit in a matter of weeks now, so it's really somethin'

Hiya Tammy!

Out of the shadows and into the light or something equally corny and awful.

And the above is excellent advice - although you can't make it this time definitely grab your chance to see Dev and co live when you can. You'll be glad you did.

PS Cool T!

TAMMY! TAMMY TAM TAMZ! Welcome!

Regarding 'recycle Dev'.... I don't know about hi-res, but I'd consult lettuce/violet about that. I've seen it in real life, and it is by far my favourite bin.

Shout out to Faffy for being hilarious and showing off an adorable Ziltoid puppet! :3

AWH STOP IT YOUUU! :3

Hey Tammy! Welcome to the board. I only really lurk on here too, mainly to keep up with Devy news, but it's a great forum with nice people... one of the few remaining in the world, in my experience!

My girlfriend has that same shirt, and it cracks me up every time she wears it. I kissed her on the lower back while she was wearing it once, and realised that I had just kissed Devy's terrible visage right on the mouth. I think it was a coincidence...

Daaaww thanks for the warm responses everyone To all of you going to the SF show, I want a detailed review so I can live vicariously through you! SO JELLY.

@Octillus, are you subtly referring to going to the London shows??

Or not. I've seen a disturbingly high amount of man love towards Devin. I usually can't watch a live video of him without hearing some dude asking for his babies or something. That's a hilarious story though!

[Octillus]

Haha, I am talking about London.

Trust me, you don't want to live through the night I had vicariously. The gig was fucking awesome though. Make sure you make it to the next one

Awww, it sounds like the gig was fun overall from reading the live review posts. Dev did mention it was a bit awkward on his Twitter, but I don't think I would've minded.

Hope whatever's troubling you gets better. I'll definitely try to make it to the next SF show and hopefully get to meet some of you guys. You seem like a cool dude.

Greetz man! Yowie chat was great btw =)

S'all good! Thanks for the wellwishes, and yes! NEXT TIME.

Yeah, I'm hoping to meet him after the acoustic gig in Leicester in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll just ask him for an autograph on the Terria insert, and not for his babies. Depends how much I have to drink that night.

SUP! Yeah, it's mah bin. I can chuck you over a hi res if you want! But only if you remember to recycle!

YES PLEASE If you would be so kind as to do that, it would fill my heart with warm, sugary, Ziltoidian heartburn!
