I was Kirk at NMS in like '97, then over to Counterparts when it started. Frequent poster way back when...transitioned to mostly lurking. Started a little online 'virtual' Rush tribute band (The Digital Men) with some musical friends I met there waaay before recording stuff at home was a thing or anywhere close to easy, so that's what I remember most. Met a few of the CP folk on the SnA tour in Concord, CA...my one and only in-person meet-up. Good times..kinda sad things had to change, but I guess change 'is' permanent. Really neat to see some familiar names here when I pop in like every other year or so :)
