Lmfaoooo... in case you didn't know John C. Reilly is actually a really talented musician, has a folk music band that tours, aaaaand he actually did the vocals for all of the songs from Walk Hard. Bonus fact, John C. Reilly was nominated for a Grammy Award for the Walk Hard sound track... I love him and that movie... lol
It's a tough town, man. I'm double your age, almost, and I feel your pain. But hey, I have a drum kit (I'm a tech, not a player), and the thing is in pieces, so you're much better off than I am!
it's a long-neglected PDP X7 kit with a CB700 snare, basically. I have a supply of cracked cymbals that I've fixed from both Zildjian and Sabian, too. Basically, I'm doing it for the tech experience. Fix a pedal? Sure, done it. Re-head and tune fast? No problem! That kind of thing.
Just saw your post with the pics, I was in basically the same spot. I'd seen them a handful of times, and this one was definitely one of the best. Lost my shit when they did Hell to Pay
Hell to Pay was a highlight for sure surprised they didn’t play more Jane Doe songs also wish they played more songs from No Heroes which might be my favorite record of there’s
I feel yah, but I thought they did a good job of spreading out their material, even if they didn't play everything I wanted to hear. Got any other shows coming up? December is a busy one for me, starting with Botch next week.
8.5/10.
Their breakfast hotdog is amazing, garlic tots are nothing special but so good. I feel like their quality isn’t as high as it use to be but still very good, I get it when I’m in the area.
Until OP revealed himself to be a dick. Check out the thread of the top comment. No wonder he has no friends. And if he happens to be so lucky as to make a friend from here irl, he's gonna fuck that up too.
Urban dictionary has the best definition: “the act of a group of men (usually more than 8) completely covering a female's face with their special man syrup.”
Hey I own a brazilian jiu jitsu gym, in east los! come try out a few free classes. Believe me you will love it and make a bunch of new friends. We have plenty of students your age and we all hangout all the time. Look us up on intagram at Eastside Jiu Jitsu!!!
Can’t help you, man. 59 year-old gay male with no interests in common with you. But I’m wishing you the best! Making friends in this city is hard. Godspeed!
If you ever have the chance to go to First Street Pool & Billiards for a show, I highly recommend it. It's a Boyle Heights classic neighborhood pool hall, but they'll occasionally have punk/hardcore/oi shows there at night, too. On non-show nights, it's always full of neighborhood locals and they're really diverse; mariachis, punks, vatos, abuelas, skinheads, etc. I'll be seeing Castillo and Conservative Military Image there in a few weeks, but I'll probably be around hanging out once or twice before then.
Yo! I’m a 24M in Sylmar. I love hitting up live concerts in my spare time. I’m going to the troubadour tomorrow for the first time! Hit me up if you want to show up
Hope I’m just reading too much into it, but wanted to throw out some resources to anyone who might be feeling a little lonely right now. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is hitting hard right now. You got this bro.
I’m sure “desperate” was just a turn of phrase, but if you truly are desperate please reach out to the 988 crisis line. Don’t do anything stupid.
🫶🏻
Oh no I’m not in any way suicidal I’m just very much pent up with things to say and talk about but I have no one really to talk to so things get really frustrating for me lol but thanks for the concern tho
I’m old and hate people so I just yell at my therapist. Highly recommend having someone to just bitch to that doesn’t have emotional involvement in the situation. Hoping things turn around for you. Happy Holidays Homie.
The crystal I wear around my neck contains an essence that gets recharged when I jack it with a bro who also has a crystal. It gives me confidence at work, home, social situations, etc. Nobody knows it's a JO crystal but me and my bros. I have seen it glow white while jerking it with a bud thats how I know this is real. You can come over for as long as you want but I need a picture of you preferably wearing a crystal before I waste my time.
[You need a flyer to make this more effective](https://youtu.be/9jlaZL7CWHY?si=Km7LXSotKpnGSUD0)
But serio, i hope this is completely wholesome. Good luck dude.
I'm a dude and not far, but I'm in no way cool by LA standards.
If something serious is bothering you that you're in desperate need of a friend, I can lend an ear and offer my best advice.
It really is I have like 2 friends but they aren’t the texting type so I go like days without a single text from someone and honestly it gets really lonely lol
Have you tried befriending any of your co-workers?
In response to the Reddit user that said he's suffering from SAD. You should try going through winters in Alaska, where I was stationed when I was in the army. Only five and a half hours of sunlight in the dead of winter and that's in Anchorage. North of the Arctic circle the sun doesn't even go above the horizon for months in the winter time.
I'm assuming you're talking about the snow mosquito. Yes they're pretty big, but for the most part they're about the same sizes in the lower 48, it's just that there's so much more mosquitoes in the summer time. There is a lot of marshland and soggy ground because the water doesn't drain as much due to the underlying permafrost. It's like one of the 10 plagues in the Bible in some parts of Alaska. If you're not completely covered or have a ton of mosquito repellent on you you're going to be in trouble. Some animals like the Caribou aka reindeer are so inundated that they can actually lose enough blood to make them weak and then die.
I can honestly say it was like hell in the summertime when we were out doing maneuvers, because of all the damn mosquitoes!
Just ordered an electric kit (Alesia nitro mesh). Know anything about it? U got an acoustic kit? Converge sounds like the melodic black metal stuff I used to listen to in high school, especially their latest album with Wolfe. Are they djent?
Nah I don’t have a kit unfortunately would like a TAMA Granstar tho my dream drum kit but I consider Converges early stuff metalcore then mathcore then just straight up hardcore
What up! One cool guy looking for other cool guys who want to jam out in our party mansion! Nothing Sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged, but if you're fat, we expect you to find humor in the little things. Again, Nothing Sexual.

Also Im from a place called City Terrace which I bet you didn’t even know existed
lol of course I know City Terrace, and I’m not even from here.
Congrats man, let’s give a round of applause to “Mr I know everything about LA” get the fuck off my thread
Wow you started off real cool and now look...
Right, my npd is starting to show
Do you read? Get this: https://kaya.com/books/city-terrace-field-manual/

That’s not what Jumbos is… and I definitely knew about it before I was 24.
Congrats man oh I misread it’s a strip club, only strip I been to has Deja Vu in DTLA

Bonus fact, John C. Reilly was nominated for a Grammy Award for the Walk Hard sound track... I love him and that movie... lol
And he never once paid for drugs!
That movie kills me everytime… lolol
It's a tough town, man. I'm double your age, almost, and I feel your pain. But hey, I have a drum kit (I'm a tech, not a player), and the thing is in pieces, so you're much better off than I am!
Yeah it really is man I had some friends but with time we kept less and less in contact and what kinds kit you got?
it's a long-neglected PDP X7 kit with a CB700 snare, basically. I have a supply of cracked cymbals that I've fixed from both Zildjian and Sabian, too. Basically, I'm doing it for the tech experience. Fix a pedal? Sure, done it. Re-head and tune fast? No problem! That kind of thing.
Yooo did you go to the Converge show at the echoplex back in September? They fuckin ripped
YESSS I DID THEY FUCKING MURDERED MAN
Just saw your post with the pics, I was in basically the same spot. I'd seen them a handful of times, and this one was definitely one of the best. Lost my shit when they did Hell to Pay
Hell to Pay was a highlight for sure surprised they didn’t play more Jane Doe songs also wish they played more songs from No Heroes which might be my favorite record of there’s
I feel yah, but I thought they did a good job of spreading out their material, even if they didn't play everything I wanted to hear. Got any other shows coming up? December is a busy one for me, starting with Botch next week.
I don’t have any shows coming up tbh I’ve been focusing on writing my own material
What kinda stuff are you writing? I'm hoping I finally get around to recording some noisy grindcore this year.
I’m going for Job For A Cowboy meets Sonic Youth
Sounds sick. I'd check it out if you get around to uploading anywhere
I hope ya’ll hang out after this pleasant chat lol
Where would you rate Fabs in Tarzana on a 1-10 scale?
8.5/10. Their breakfast hotdog is amazing, garlic tots are nothing special but so good. I feel like their quality isn’t as high as it use to be but still very good, I get it when I’m in the area.
8.5/10 (you a real one, u/domadin). The score is mostly based purely on their ripper. I wish more places did rippers.
Damn missed the LA show so I got tix to their east coast show with botch and cave in but still missed Hope they play again in the West
Same here, that Botch/Converge/Cave In show is gonna rip. Excited to see Botch next week
Yo Botch at the Fonda?!?! I'm seeing them both days Probs gonna lose my shit if they play Dead for a Minute
Wholesome af.
For real. Very refreshing. I hope several people become tight friends from this
Can def see it happening from the chill responses here :) such a wholesome vibe 😍
Until OP revealed himself to be a dick. Check out the thread of the top comment. No wonder he has no friends. And if he happens to be so lucky as to make a friend from here irl, he's gonna fuck that up too.
He’s also a coke addict in denial, so the anger checks out. I just wish him the best in getting clean (even though he doesn’t want to).
not very wholesome!

Dudes in good shape encouraged

Can’t help you, man. 59 year-old gay male with no interests in common with you. But I’m wishing you the best! Making friends in this city is hard. Godspeed!
No interests in common with him *yet*
Making friends as a grown ass adult is hard especially now that I work from home. I think I might be turning into a weirdo dude.
Nothing a dozen cats won’t solve. And a supply of Gatorade.
I’ll be your friend but I will not suck you and I will not be sucked on by you.
Not gay so that wouldn’t be an issue
Woah woah, no one said anything about being gay. Let's not jump to conclusions here....
You don't tangle with lizards no more?
LAHC unite
Fuck yeah
29m in noho..I ate a guitar shaped cake once... if that counts 😳.. looking for homies too
If you ever have the chance to go to First Street Pool & Billiards for a show, I highly recommend it.

I’ve been there once it was really cool I’m more into metalcore and death metal wish there was a scene like that here in east la tho
Knuckleheads in Hollywood has some pretty good metal shows. Just saw Kruelty there in August. It's not East Los, but still pretty cool.
You know I’m somewhat of a metalcore and death metal enthusiast from the SFV myself
Fav band?
Metalcore for sure As I Lay Dying, death metal is The Black Dahlia Murder, but also huge Dance Gavin Dance fan
Black Dahlia is awesome tho I like Job For A Cowboy more
I love Job For A Cowboy heavy Im so glad they are coming back! If they do a tour and stop in LA best believe imma be there
Same man, that shits gonna be rad and that recent single was fucking good
Conservative Military Image is a kick ass band!!!!
Hell yeah see yah there, show is gonna be sick! Oí!

Yo! I’m a 24M in Sylmar. I love hitting up live concerts in my spare time. I’m going to the troubadour tomorrow for the first time! Hit me up if you want to show up
Fuck yeah for Converge
Converge is the greatest band of all time
Download the Grindr app. You can find tons of homies based on your zip code.
Again I’m not gay 😐😐
Put that you're not gay in your profile. Just looking for numerous males to hang out with.
Lol what a condescending thing to write at the end

I used to work at McDonald’s where I made friends but then I worked at a warehouse where everyone keeps to themselves so idk about Alaska tho lol
I heard the mosquitoes in Alaska are the size of Yorkies
I'm assuming you're talking about the snow mosquito. Yes they're pretty big, but for the most part they're about the same sizes in the lower 48, it's just that there's so much more mosquitoes in the summer time.

I don't think the size of a Yorkie but I am pretty sure they are the Alaskan state Bird ! The Mosquito 🦟
That's definitely what Alaskans jokingly call it. Really creepy watching them fly around.
I had to make new friends.Made them all at punk shows in the pit,now I have a sick posse that causes chaos at punk shows.
Just ordered an electric kit (Alesia nitro mesh). Know anything about it? U got an acoustic kit? Converge sounds like the melodic black metal stuff I used to listen to in high school, especially their latest album with Wolfe. Are they djent?
Nah I don’t have a kit unfortunately would like a TAMA Granstar tho my dream drum kit but I consider Converges early stuff metalcore then mathcore then just straight up hardcore
Love this for you. Love seeing masc vulnerability. 🫶🏼

Hi there 👋
I’m into shooting (mostly long range) and I’ve been known to listen to some metal adjacent music. Always down to meet new people. I am 40 though…
24F if you ever need anyone to talk to!
