Welcome to Friendships of the Traveling Wristband!

[jodieca]

This is a very special thread...let's share with the world about all our wonderful new friendships made because of Marty, Dino, Billy, & Bobby.

Have you made special friendships here at mc.org?
Did you meet your best friend because they were your roommate at an out-of-town concert?

Did you meet your soulmate at a Lovehammers concert?

Is your annual vacation now going to a Lovehammers show?

What motivates you to fly & drive all over to see the Lovehammers?

Please share your experiences here - how it started, how it's continuing, here. Marty & the Lovehammers & Dan have expressed on numerous occasions how cool they think it is, that people travel from all over to see their new friends, and at the same time they get to see a really great rock show.

[BBE]

Yes, Marty did indeed bring us together.....

It started right here, on this board! She posted about meeting Marty and her cellphone didn't save the photo.
I felt so bad for her, because at that time, I was one of the few people in their new fan base who had actually met him (at a taping of RS INXS--see my avatar pic), so I knew how she felt, I didn't have to imagine it.

I pm'd her and told her those things. She pm'd me back. More messages, more thoughts shared as the days passed. Soon we were exchanging e-mail addies, then phone numbers. She was halfway across the country from me, though, so we didn't know if we'd ever meet in person.

But then we both got tickets to the Metro show, for the day before Thanksgiving. YIPPEEE!!! We would finally get to meet and rock out to our new favorite band. She was flying to Chicago for this show! We set up to stay at the same hotel.

I had been responsible for making arrangements for a pre-show gathering for a group of people from another board, so we (she, my guy, and I) planned to meet up with those folks, then go to the show.

I first set eyes on her in the hotel lobby before we went to the pre-show. She looked as nervous as I felt--would we hit it off as friends in real life? We all rode the bus to the bar, and settled in to eat and gab. We seemed to be hitting it off well! The other people all went to do their own thing, but my new friend stuck by me. We braved the floor, front and center at the Metro. Even my guy bailed and went upstairs before LH came on, but she stuck with me. Before the night was over, I was flattened by a stage diver, we both got to meet Marty again AND FINALLY GET OUR PHOTOS , held our heads up despite being subjected to some extremely rude behavior, and wrapped up the evening eating pancakes and laughing our butts off about the whole experience!

The next day, having been stiffed by the person that originally invited us to T-day dinner, my dear new friend found us a restaurant that was not only serving, but served us one of the best T-day dinners we'd ever had! Delightful!!!

When we took her to the airport for her flight home, it was so hard to say goodbye. I told my guy that I had come up to Chicago for Marty and Lovehammers, but found a great new friend.

And oh my--that was only the BEGINNING of our adventures!!!

Aragon, Highland, Viper, missing her company at Joe's while she was with her beloved doggie as his life ended , trying to be a comfort when she did get to Chicago, VMS, Chicago Theatre, Base Bar, Rockit, Avery Fisher Hall, CBGB's, and ALL THE REST! These are memories that are burned into my soul, and I still can hardly believe I actually lived them.

A lull in the action, and missing her while I went to some things she couldn't make it to. All the while, talking or e-mailing nearly every day, sharing this whole incredible experience, and all the ups and downs of everyday life. Becoming as close as, no--closer than--sisters. Even razzing each other: "YES, I BOUGHT THOSE THINGS BECAUSE THEY AMUSE ME!" ....."YOUR FRIDGE LOOKS LIKE A GUY'S--NOTHING BUT BEER AND MUSTARD!" .... and laughing until our sides hurt from the silliness of it all!

Now she is taking a bold new journey, and I have to say, she is one of the bravest people I have ever met.

My friend, if I could be with you to help you through this time, I would. Be safe, and unfold your new life. Then we will get together again soon to ROCK OUT together, laugh and cry and gossip and dream.

From the bottom of my heart, and the depths of my being, THANK YOU SO MUCH, "MISS K"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE the real deal. YOU ARE my "sister from another mother".
I truly can't imagine what this whole Lovehammers experience would be like for me without you in it. I thank God for you.

I love you, my friend.

Nancy

Have you made special friendships here at mc.org?
Did you meet your best friend because they were your roommate at an out-of-town concert?

In December, having never joined a message board before, I decided to post here at mc.org because I had decided to travel across the country to the Viper Room to see the Lovehammers.

I was so nervous about that first post. I was sure no one was gonna respond to me. Out of nowhere I got a pm from Jodieca who told me she lived in California and knew of a girl named Penny74 looking for a roommate for the Viper show.

The next day I sent Penny a pm telling her I was available to share a room and spent the next seven paragraphs assuring her I was not a serial killer. There has not been a day since that day that I have not spoken to her.

I found my best friend here at martycasey.org. I have been to Chicago twice, and some time before I die, I am sure Penny will come here. I am going to Chicago again at the end of this month for a double feature Lovehammers show and will be going again in October. The truth of the matter is, I'm going as much to see Penny as I am the Lovehammers (maybe more ).

I have also found other very close special friends here. Of course, there's Jodie who makes me laugh and never ceases to amaze me with her fangirl superpowers. Stephd, DG, Chitowngirl, Flyintooblivion, Nancy, Chitownchick, Two Dollars, Diva, Treebee, UandMe, nlt, sil, needy, BG, Isa, GE, Hoot, Polar and all the other loons in the asylum....I love you.

I love this place.

Kelley

[penny74]

Okay, I have typed and deleted a response to this ten times now. How do you describe your feelings about your best friend? I feel like I have known Kelley my whole life. She isn't exaggerating when she says that we have talked every day since that first PM. We usually talk on the phone six or seven times a day. And she isn't even sick of my crap! (that I know of, anyway.) She's the best friend that I have ever had.

Heehee...I still laugh thinking about our first PMs to each other, when we were still pretending that we were perfectly sane and responsible people who do NOT usually fly across the country solo to see a 30 minute concert.

I really can't believe the friendships I have made here. It's incredible. Besides Kelley, I have all the other loons in the asylum (DG, Fly, Nancy, Ayesa, GE, Chi, BG, Polar, sil, nlt, Hoot, Isa, 4, Diva, ChiTownChick, Jodie, and Needy are just a few!), all the other mods here, Cindy and Amy...mc.org is a beautiful thing.

Oh now I'm all misty-eyed... I better get over to the asylum so I can get out of mushy mode and back into my usual witty and sarcastic self. (Shut it, Fly! )

And THIS? Is why I love Fly.

[chitowngirl]

Love, love, love the stories so far girls!

I don't have one story in particular. I will say that I came to this site for the band, but that I've stuck around for the people. I've made so many wonderful friends here! (DG, Fly, Pen, BG, RF, Nancy, klly, GE, UandMe and the list goes ON and ON) Sometimes I don't know what I would do without all of you!

As much as I adore the band, half the fun of going to shows is the before and after and meeting up with all of the fans/friends we've met along the way!

Love you all! Even Penny and Fly!

[ndavis021410]

I don't know where to begin in this thread, is an emotional one.

I first came here looking for anything more Marty. Yes everyone, I was all about Marty after Rock Star. Then I found the Lovehammers, and then I found my family.

After I was diagnosed with cancer, confusion, pain, anger, saddness, and a multi-leveled amount of emotional roller coaster's came upon me at every moment it seemed....Being here, I will ALWAYS say, saved my life....

If Doc hadn't had a fit for me to get that second opinion, I wouldn't have, I would of remained terminal like that first stupid doctor said I was. If I didn't have DG here on that daily basis to pull me out of my roller coaster rides, I wouldn't of lived...Simply put...Allot of people have told me how strong I am, and how inspirational I am, trust me guys, I'M NOT...I'm a weak, clingy, and very weak person. DG and Doc pulled my life strings, made me come here, made me get up out of bed, made me cry, made me laugh, made me LIVE....It was a long struggle, and a very hard one to accomplish. My family was formed out of love, and well, just more love....If it were not for Ayesa's nightly stories with Fly, I wouldn't of stayed here, they both are best friends that I'll cherish for the rest of this life....Best friends that sent me cards and chocolate, ok RF, I'm NOT telling on you or BG, but trust me, I STILL have all that chocolate that I'll eat one day, you'll see!!!...The quilt that My Shy made me still gives me goosebumps when I see it, amazing love here. The computer games to keep my mind from wandering, love ya My Amy....Just continual love and support is what I find here....Love all the Cali girls, couldn't thank Carol enough for what she has done....And for all the new friends, Linda, CJ, oh my, I'm gonna forget someone, but that's ok, everyone knows I forget easily anyhow....Maybe that's why everyone tells me their stuff, they know I'll forget it the next day.....OH MY....

God gave me Doc and DG, and I do believe God also gave me Marty in the sense that he is the reason why we are all here, forming these bonds, and having all these experiences, with GREAT people....To have Rachel and Kelley as second mom's is the best a person can EVER ask for, ok, and Penny, I could almost label you a big sister. So much support, so much love, from so many strong personalities and strong people, just makes sense, that your going to be a stronger person inside and out for just knowing these great people....Oh, can't forget the great homemade banana breat that Isa sent me as soon as she found out I could eat real food again....Can we just say love here?....Is amazing to experience....Is amazing to say I'm experiencing all of this still, and I thank God for the opportunity for it all.

DG was my life string. Daily devotionals, daily talking, daily we would pull each other up and deal with what was going on. I planned everything with her, and she did the same with me. When she left, I literally felt my heart exploding, like what am I going to do....I know, I'll drive to Chicago to say bye...I had always been friends with Nlt, My Monster, but I hadn't ever saw her true light as a person, a friend, and fellow crazy fangirl. Everymorning, Doc and My Monster sends me my daily devotionals, well, Doc's is Biblical, and My Monster's are just cool quotes, but they are in that PM box every morning pretty well, and they always make me feel that string being pulled and still connected to DG in a weird way. Nlt had to be away for a couple days last week, and she had Sil send me the quotes, and chat with me, I just cried. Sometimes I don't know what I have ever done to have all these great friends....My O, Hoot, My 4, Mad, GE, Diva, Jodie, just everyone, I feel bad if I've left a name out, but geez guys, there's allot of ya all....I really do love ya all.....

Oh, and now Dino....hehe....Yes, having his support, pictures, and a great focus point to squeee over, don't know what I would of done....Rock Star here, PM'ing me to not worry about loosing any hair, they get in the way of good hugs,....Or one day...Eat broccoli....Or....Don't forget to stretch.....Or the next day...Just a how are ya?.....Made my days much brighter that's for sure...He cared, and still does for all his friends, and his capacity for love in his heart for each of us is just phenominal at times....Yes, his personality can be critical at times, but trust me, I'll defend Dino forever, because he cared for me, wrote to me, and gives GREAT hugs....He just don't want everyone knowing he's an angel underneath all that snarkiness, but trust me, he is....He didn't even know me personally at the beginning, but cared enough as a great human being, to attempt to cheer me up, give me encouragements, and just show that he cared....

Ok, that's it, and I'm done crying now....Geez, this is a tough thread....Love ya all..............So, to say I've made one best friend wouldn't be true at all.....What would I do without My Amy girl now?....Just don't know.....I wouldn't want to make a week a week without talking on the phone with her and BG. Amy is the most special person, so sweet, and so compassionate, that no wonder Cindy wanted her to be a part of this wonderful board. Great choice My Cindy girl.....Wouldn't know what to do without each and everyone of you ladies, and that's what we are ya know....We are very classy, very strong, and very respectable ladies...>Ok, hey there Stil, it's really cool to hang with you and all the guys in this thread, not meaning to just give all the credit to ladies here....We all love our Stil.....OH MY....Brave brave man...Ok, I'm done now I think.....Love....

[Diva]

Nancy I feel honored to have met you and I hope to get to know you even more and your a beautiful person inside and out, love ya. You can just feel the love in this thread cant you?

[klly]

Wow Nancy.

If this place isn't magic, then I don't know what is.

I've got to say that this has been so much fun and totally
mystifying to me. I've never been on a message board before so
I'm not sure if this happens all the time. I have made some amazing friendships here. With all of the different Lovehammer
message boards, I still consider Martycasey.org home. It was
perfect timing. 2005 was a very tough year for so many of us
including me. MC.org, the Lovehammers music/performances,
Street Teaming the band and the bonds of friendships made here
were just what the doctor ordered. MC.org is a place full of
positive energy that is contagious. Marty is very good at bringing
that out in all of us.

My story begins in November 2005 when I stopped by the Aussie
thread in the Newbie section. They were all so welcoming. They
were always hanging out at the bar at night, throwing a "snag
on the barbie" or talking about what CDs they were listening to
that day. I had no clue sometimes the names of the bands
Aussiefan (Helen) would talk about or what Peekaboo (Dani),
Ingt (Ingrid) and Aussie (Lizzie) were saying with their Aussie
Strine. I didn't know until probably a few weeks later when I
finally looked at a map of Australia that they weren't really
seeing each other at all. It is a 7 hr flight from Perth to
Melbourne, yet each day they were sharing drinks and friendship
with all of us. They welcomed everyone that came by.
It wasn't long before I was a permanent guest there and joined them for a drink or two *chink* *chink* and some friendly chats.
Of course with the time difference, my morning coffee *clunk**clunk* was during their evening Chards *chink*.
We have all become very close and now plan to meet Dec 9 and 10 in Melbourne for what we are calling Hammerjam II...no, the
band will not be with us...although their ears will be on fire those
2 days. Gaia (Gael) and I also plan on doing some sight seeing
and visit Aussiefan (Helen) and her beautiful horses. I plan to
stay on for a few more days to enjoy seeing her and rock out at
a Robbie Williams concert. BTW, Helen, I miss you dearly.
Get better soon. We all miss you here.

Then there are our Mods here. Amy, chk, Trees and Radioclash all
have been so much help with the AST (Aussie/Asia Pacific Street
Team) efforts and we have become good friends. Radioclash
(Jen) get well soon girl. We miss you so much too. I got to hang
out with chk (Constance...aka BFF) along with her sister Dawn in
Chicago in February for Joes, Virgin Record Megastore and INXs
concerts. It was a blast....and of course, I knew she was
coming to Hammerjam even before she knew it. I knew she
would find a way to come. I'm still working on Trees to find a
way out of the family Potlatch so she can come to
Hammerjam. It just won't be the same without her.
Psst!...Trees, can't you just bring the whole family with you?
There is room I'm sure. We're mc.orgers. We'd find them room.
They are providing food and gifts too. Now that would be a
Potlatch the whole family would be talking about for years.

One thing that Marty got so right was the common bond we have
for the love of music. When the Lovehammers signed with Sony
and they were offering the signed insert with their release, it
was not offered to the international fans. We had so much fun
sending CDs to each other. I sent Lovehammers CDs to them
and they in return sent their favorite CDs to me. A big thanks
goes to Scott (aka -Rockbeast and my Lil' Bro) for all of his help
with the CD exchange. I received CDs from Canada, the
Philippines, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. To this day
we are still sending each other CDs of bands that we think the
other might enjoy. I have listened to so many talented bands
that I would never have had a chance to hear if it weren't for the
wonderful friendships made here. Ingt, Peeks and Helen seem
to know exactly what I would like. Helen spoils me rotten with
her favorite CDs. I can't wait to hang out with her in December. We have become sisters at heart. I've also made some really wonderful friendships with Mia, Ara and Soy in the Philippines
with the CD exchange, Street Teaming efforts and visits on the
Aussie thread. I really cherish all of these friendships and hope
that someday I will meet everyone. Hammerjam 2006 is a good
start. I will finally be able to meet Dani and Ingrid. Watch out
Chicago. I have my fingers crossed for Mia to be able to make it
too. Can't wait for December 9th and 10th when Gaia (Gael), jet
(jo), Aussie (Lizzie), Bronte (Lise), Aussiefan (Helen), Ingt(Ingrid),
Peekaboo(Dani) and anyone else that wants to join us,
meet in Melbourne.

As I've said. It has been so much fun. My daughter-in-law Liz and I who have met some of you in Feb in Chicago agree with Chitowngirl (Rachael), meeting and getting to know the fans is as awesome as getting to see the band.

Although we may not post as much as we used to on the Aussie
Thread, most of us still touch base here. There is hardly a day
that goes by that we aren't messaging each other here, at
MySpace, chatting online with MSN.Messenger before or
after work, emailing each other or sending a text message.
We've been there for each other during some really rough times
and some really awesome fun times...BFFs


Den (aka on the Aussie thread as Dirty Little Toe Rag, Brat!, Fair Dinkum, Bloody Legend, Drongo! and Den Den)

[Trees]

I really find it hard to post anything here... I'm just so moved by the love and friendship being shared

Reading these posts just reminds me of all the wonderful people that I have connected with, shared stories, humour, sadness, , ,

I just get overwhelmed thinking of how I answer the question " Have you made special friendships here at mc.org?"


Well the answer is Yes!!! Right now all I can say is Thanks Amy for the wristbands and thanks Jodieca for the Traveling Wristband Section.

Modified: To give Den and to Helen for the healing process she deserves

[rockbeast]

This is a great thread.

Have you made special friendships here at mc.org? Yes, many. The ones I still talk to are very special to me indeed, the ones that kept in touch with me, I know they are my true friends. They know who they are.

Did you meet your best friend because they were your roommate at an out-of-town concert? As a matter of fact sorta kinda yes. I met Keshet at the now infamous worst bar and crowd ever in one place in Sacramento (the dive bar #1) and we went to Milwaukee for Summerfest together and roomed together. She is like the BEST and most caring and non judgmental hammerhead I have ever met. I feel so connected to her and we laugh when we are together. Its really cool. Though I just met her this summer, I feel as though I have known her my entire life. We plan on hitting Oysterfest together and also the west coast shows HARD ........I cannot wait to pay her a visit (She lives in Cali) and see the guitar she won at the Roxy!! WOW!!

Did you meet your soulmate at a Lovehammers concert? I cannot comment on that, its personal to me.

Is your annual vacation now going to a Lovehammers show? Yep. From 1997 to 2004 I went to Europe 10 times, Hawaii twice and the carribean a few times. After my 2004-2005 suicide attempts and manic depression I stopped going overseas and traveling all together. Marty rockstar inxs about exactly one year ago today, brought me out of a severe depressed state, answering my "Call of Distress". I got MOMM and that healed my soul, I joined mc.org in Sept of 2005 and was the only man besides Dan Howard that posted here. I think. But anyway, I was welcomed with open arms by pretty much everyone here. I have 2 weeks paid vacation per year, and 6 sickdays per year. We also have a comp time program which allows us to take work home and earn hours to take time off from work, and you can have three days max banked up. I used comp. days from work for Viper Room, CBGB, Memphis in May and DITZ in Sacramento. Then I used two of my vacation Days for Summerfest. I still have 10 days vacation and 3 sick days and 2 days of comp saved. I am using all of it for LH's shows. In fact, on August 18th I fly into Indianapolis Int'l Airport at 9:48 am, which is three hours ahead of Seattle, and at 11:00am Indy time I am calling in SICK on my cell phone to work. That will be my first time in 5 years calling in sick. I usually use the sick time for doc and dentist and local shows... My new goal is to see the LH's in as many different states as I can!

But yeah, when I look at my cell phone address book, its FILLED with hammerhead after hammerhead's numbers........And also a lovehammer and someone in the hammercrew..

Oh and by the time I went to Memphis, Billy and Bobby and Dino knew who I was and were geniunely happy to see me there and we had beer and good talk. And Bobby gave me a shout in his lh.com blog/diary.

Then at the DITZ fest at the meet and greet I was talking with Dino and Bobby and Marty looked over at me, took his sunglasses and put them on his nose and said "Oh so this is the infamous rockbeast" and my face turned 40 different shades of red. He smiled and put his hand out and said "Its so good to finally get to meet you, I have heard so much about you" HMMMMM i wonder who *dino, cough, cough* could have told him about me? Oh and Randy grabbed me a drum stick of bobbys and had Bobby sign it and he wrote ROCKBEAST: F**K YEAH...BOBBY KOURELIS and Billy and Dino gave me a handful of picks...


At the Roxy show, Keshet went up to Dino and Bobby and said "Hi, I am saying hi from RB" and Dino's eyes lit up and he said "Where is that f**ker" and Bob said "Is he HERE" and keshet said "No, he couldnt make it" and both brothers were like "Ohhhhh" and she said they sounded disappointed.

I have said this before, maybe not on the board(s) but I would lay down my life for a hammerhead, If someone needed a kidney, I would be at the doctor to see if my kidney would be a match.........

If I ever win the lottery, a few hundred hammerheads would be forever grateful to me, because they would be going on tour with me. And those hammerheads know who they are.......

XXX000

LOVE AND HAMMERS

[dlh]

Hey Scott,

You are so right. It is like Marty has said, we are not just fans, we are family. I've heard it from so many fans, if they would win the lottery they would make sure that their friends would be able to see the Lovehammers and tour with them.

Looking forward to finally meeting you in Indy and at Hammerjam.

Exactly Den, and we must look after and respect one another. The hammerjam dinner is a great way to get to know hammerheads you do not know well or at all. One big happy family "breaking bread" together.......awesome.

I cannot wait to mee you as well and will see you on the 18th.... I will be near the bar most likely...lol

[suzy]

I just wanted to mention my great friend that I have been fortunate enough to have met on these boards. Her name is Pam..... Pam has no idea how much she means to me so I suppose she is about find out.

The two of us have a lot in common in that we are devoted to our husbands and children and stay at home with our kids...we enjoy a lot of the same things.....we talk to each other almost daily (when I'm in the country ;D) and we just laugh and laugh and laugh....Pam can make anyone in the world smile. We discuss day to day things, regular life things...and problems and mishaps too. And of course we go on and on about our man...Marty... ....we even get "bad" sometimes, but for us it's all in fun....our husband's know how much we love them and are happy to see us having a good time....

Friends are hard to come by in this world...I have many wonderful friends. I've only had two BEST friends in my life though. One of them, Michele, died when we were 21. I'm now losing the other, Bernice, my Maid Of Honor, 40, to cancer. I don't know if I will see her again, I just left her last week in Canada.

I am so grateful to Pam for always being around to make me smile and make me laugh till I pee in my pants. Just knowing she is there even if it's just in cyberspace makes me feel comforted. What a great friend she is....

you Pam...

signed, your partner in crime ;D ;D ;D

Another beautiful story Suzy, thanks for sharing.
