This implies you are no longer an asshole, and isn't that grounds for getting blackballed here at D00M?
...or am I just being an asshole?

I think First Strike was kind of ruined for me by the guys in the Kingpins. The SJ band that almost got signed was the Endmen - the singer ignored overtures from the label. They and Dot3 were probably the biggest bands then, and both were ended by mental problems of band members - the singer for the Endmen (later killed himself) and the bass/stick player from Dot3. I was bummed about Dot3. They could have been big, at least on the jam band circuit or something. Another band not in First Strike that I liked was 3D Jesus (great band name) but they didn't play much. And those girls from Kooch Bahar were cute.
Damn. Such drama. I never knew. I recognize some of those band names, but really only followed #9 when it came to the local music scene. I have a lot of fond memories from your shows.
The only other local band (like club level) I followed was Tune Ahead, and they were more SF scene - psychedelic rock. One of my closest partners-in-crime at RM traded lead & rhythm guitar for them. We were once offered to manage Shoreline together but neither of us wanted to commit to that. He eventually imploded at RM - while I was away in China. He burned every bridge there except for me, and I couldn't help him anymore. We've crossed paths at shows every once in a while and it's weird and awkward.

She's got a thing for bass players I see...
