Randomly becoming Midtown’s merch guy
The Plain White T’s needing to be very clean

People uploading songs to Napster with other band’s names
Roading for Taking Back Sunday before they exploded
What it was like to tour on a bus
The origins of the Bayside bird
What it was like to work at Victory
Is the story of how the Larry Arms got on Epitaph true
And a ton more
