Hey, Dimitri! If there is a Conspiracy reunion in 2006, and you guys need a new/another guitarist... Yo, hit me up! I mean, damn, I could move to Petaluma and transfer to the Trader Joe's over there. I'd probably do that to be in THE COOLEST SKA BAND EVER! Hey, I was the original guitarist! fuck, I gotta practice a lot I guess...
Oh the sweet memories of seeing you guys play at The Phoenix all the time back in 95/96...making fun of Headboard...haha. Didn't one of you have a problem with always swallowing his guitar picks?? Good times.
I still listen to Too Far Gone...whatever happened to you guys releasing an album after that?? With the song "Circus Circus"?? I'd love to get my hands on some!!!
I still have the green t-shirt with the horrible clown logo on the back. Periodically I wear it, and people ask me what the fuck that shirt is supposed to represent. These kids today, they don't know shit, I swear.
The best New Year's Eve celebration of my life was 96/97. And the Conspiracy was the climax of the night. I'll never forget it and I don't think I'll ever have another New Years that will top it.
