About 3 or 4 years ago, I was living @ my grandparents' house with my dad, brother, and some other relatives. One day, Lee + Vic's friend Brown stayed the night and the next morning we hung out and watched a tape of music videos Brown recorded. It was nothing special @ first, but then I heard the bouncy, energetic horn intro to Sell Out and saw this band called Reel Big Fish. I laughed at Fry Boy and the rest of the guys, and was amazed @ this cool, new sound. Later down the road, my friend Jessica let me borrow her brother Vince's RBF CD and I fell in love. Ever since then, ska has been my favorite type of music, and Reel Big Fish is my most favorite band in the world. The Reel Big Effect:
Reel Big Fish is the band that introduced me to ska, which is one big reason that I love them. I recently put all my RBF memorabilia on the wall against the head of my bed. I have 4 posters: 1 I stole @ the last concert I saw them at the Glasshouse, 1 I bought the first time I saw them, one I bought off of ebay, and 1 I bought @ the Sun Theater during the Crouching Fish-Hidden Finger tour. I have 6 articles about them from Mean Street, OC Register, OC Weekly, the L.A. Times, and Skratch Magazine. I have 5 stickers and 2 pictures of them mixed with the other stuff. I have some Aaron Barrett autographs and an email from him, but I want to frame them before I put them up on display. I have a green sweatshirt with white writing of theirs and a black wind breaker (but I don't wear it anymore because the writing is all worn out). I have 4 different RBF shirts: a navy blue one with orange writing showing how to flip off someone, a light blue one with bubbles and a picture of all the guys (thanks Brett!), a medium blue one with some weird looking guy on it that says Reel Big Fish, and a white one with black writing and a picture of the group like on one of my posters. I have a glow-in-the-dark yo-yo and an air freshener that hangs from my rear view window. I'm looking to get their license plate holder when I can afford it and I'm also going to have a sticker made for the back window of my car. I've had a couple of dreams about seeing RBF play, and also of Aaron hitting on me. Those are the best! |

This is me and my lover Aaron at the last Jeffrie's Fan Club show. It was such an awesome surprise to see him!! And later on while JFC was playing, I went in the pit and after a while I noticed that I was right behind him!! I was very tempted to grab his ass yet again, but the pit wasn't moving that much and I was afraid he'd know it was me touching his lucious ass. Oh well.
