I guess ugly is the new pretty according to what I learned from Iris Apfel… Its just that somehow that poster doesn’t have the same wizened impact that those images would if they have been tattooed all ove the body of some burlesque biker queen or ripe old merchant marine… So Pinnochio or Popeye … The impact is the outcome is the same for me Cruiser and Bruiser will make sure that we can’t have nice things around here anymore
Im so glad someone is hyped about that poster… Life goes on Bruiser
all of this. TMR’s finest hour. best poster, best lineup, best records. people are going to get bruised. FVCK YEAHZ.
Why aren’t we having Timmy’s Taco’s tho :/ hahaha can’t wait!
im sorry… thats just the ugliest poster TMR has ever released…. just hate to chop down the cherry tree but i cannot believe that is an official image/poster/design for this event… wow
All you people always posting that they wish they could buy these variants but they are never online….you better buy the Video LP online while you can, be swift there is only 35.
If I had known that Cherie Currie was hosting I would’ve bought tickets. I LOVE the Runaways, so bummed. If anyone has tickets they wanna sell, hit me up at wonderwomanrn@comcast.net.
This sounds amazing, and you have Cherie Currie hosting! That in and of itself is awesome. I have the tickets, but I can’t go…I’m heartbroken. I hope all of the attendees have a freakishly great time!
appreciate the info! thanks :)
ChchchchchCherry Bomb!!
