2001............................................................ yeah sheesh couple of leaves of absence though

2005 for me.. 2001? Shiiiit

I really don't know. I was here for awhile before I really posted much.

before my daugher was born.

2002 or 2003 seems to make the most sense. right after demolition but before love is hell.

I think I started in 2005 under a different name.

Oh wow...I was still in my undergrad years of college (I think)...or maybe my first year of grad school. So 2001- 2003 ish. I lurked a long time before I ever posted though.

2005...when Cold Roses came out.

and then i stole your heart and we lived happily ever after!

2003

First posted early 2006, but was probably on here for 3-6 mos before that...

I can't even remember... although I know I first came around during the days of the original .org.

Right, I was on the original .org, when did that close? Posted there, too, so was before 2005....

Since 2006 before Ryan got all mad at us and we were sent to detention here at alt-country.org.

I've been posting since 2006. I lurked before, but never posted until the .org got themes.

Something about Red Death made me feel shy and dirty.

i browsed www.ryan-adams.com in late 2001 but i didn't become a member until september 2002, just before the release of Demolition.

and i remember wishing how i shoudlve heard of Ryan sooner, in the late 90s. my high school experience would have been so much better if i listened to cool music like Whiskeytown and Wilco.

if only i could go back in time to 1998 and make a mixtape for that lost little boy who listened to the radio and watched mtv. i wouldnt put songs made after that point on the mixtape - that might fuck up the space-time continuum - i would simply make a mix of Whiskeytown, Wilco/Uncle Tupelo, Bright Eyes, Jeff Buckley, etc. which was around at the time

I been here goin' on 72 year I reckon.

smarten up NOW or I get pro-Active! on your cyber ass! do you understand?!

I wish you could go back in time and tell Wilco about what they would become.

Lurking since 2004, first post 2006, trying to sell a ticket for his show in Amsterdam (at the RAI). Posted again soon afterwards, begging for a link to the Elizabeth Town sessions (thanks Baffy), and stuck around.

It has been just about ten years for me I believe. I was on the old "Red, White and Blue" Ryan Adams site before it turned into this one for a few years.

I've tried to find some of those early posts on the wayback machine, but with no avail.

It's like suddenly I realized who really gives a fuck anyway.

03. Started posting in fall 04.

lurked here since 2003
was here when ryan pitched a hissy
didnt start posting till recently
dont know why i didnt...just didnt

August/September 2006

literally just before ryan did those tours at Borederline and Bush Hall.
I went to the Sep Notitngham Show and the Sep Manchester show. It was on the back of CR and JCN. And it was my first time seeing Ryan.

GREAT TIMES

I started really lurking when the artwork for Cold Roses was being pimped out before the records. But I do remember ryan-adams.org
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I can't really recall - I know I was on the old site before the one Ryan had closed down.

When that was I have no idea though. 2002?

Fist thread I made was in 05. I didn't start posting regularly (become addicted) until 2007.

I think I posted the most when MelancholyJen was here. I remember busting TGIJef's chops a lot and LauraJ telling me I need to reduce my time spent here.
***********************************

I think I have been here longer than I actually realized. I remember the red, white & blue board. When did that change?

you really came into your own in 2008

then you fizzled...made a huge comeback and have not relinquished your status since.

Here's a glimpse from January 2005, courtesy of the Wayback Machine:

If you search "View all Members" over on the lower right you can find your old profile and check your post count... mine was 38 ironically.

So I'm guessing I started a while before this, but not too long.

Alzheimer's is a bitch man.

I have been lurking since about 2001...on the old site. Rarely post but because I read this board (and only ever this one) every day I feel like I know everybody and their "personality".

July 2003

" Now, pull head from ass and use it for once."
Spartacus to Varro


-------------------

I can barely remember what I did yesterday, but I'm gonna guess I started posting right away somewhere between 2001-2003. I got Heartbreaker and Faithless Street in 2000 and proceeded to need every Whiskeytown release after that.

Too long.

The earth is a Brian

Found this place around 2004, but was never much of a board poster. It was, to me, a whole new social milieu. I mostly used it for entertainment and information.

Started posting regular three or four years ago.

*************************************

I ain't got nothing but love for you now.

Pretty sure 04... I think I lurked in 03

Pretty sad actually. Don't tell anyone.

right when we broke it off right tap?
