Chronic Lurker, joined to see the embedded images

Been lurking forever, but a change to the code here made it impossible to see the wonderful piccies everyone posts without logging in, so...

Hi,

My name is anticlimactic, and I'm an alco... Oh wait, wrong forum. I'm a bassist, or was, in the 90s. No one famous, I wouldn't have even constituted a pimple on the periphery of the NJ Hardcore scene. Been working my nerve up to get back into playing, then the COVID-quarantine. Grr. Anyway, it's already been a pleasure watching and reading you all. I've learned a lot along the way. Thanks!
 
Welcome to the fun-house!

Where in NJ?
I lived in Bayonne for almost a year, about 25 years back.

Right by the Meadowlands and the (American) Football Stadium. Since you've gone, the landfills have been shut down and it LOOKS like park land now. Underneath, it's still one of the world's largest compost heap. Give it another few years and the real estate developers will be clamoring to build McMansions on it, and 10 years after that, we'll get to read about a new cancer cluster.

Glad you managed to escape. If it wasn't for the quantity of jobs, a lot of us would have followed.
