My first time in print! Stoked!

Back in the day, Depeche Mode had their own magazine in the UK and it was pretty hard to get a hold of here in the States. For some fuckin' odd reason it was called Bong. I was obsessed with DM back then and joined their fanclub (ok start laughing) and got a free Bong subscription. One month they posed the question:

"What type of artist should open for Depeche Mode on tour now that the band uses non-electronic instruments on stage?"

And that letter above is what I wrote to them. Being they were my favorite band and I was 14, you can bet I was stoked to be in their mag. Why do I put this shit on my site? I have no clue. I think I like to fess up about how corny I was so people can laugh at me...

Ticket stub to the concert I referred to in my letter

Gay membership card that I actually signed
