counterfiction Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah, Jamie (my friend who worked with him) had amazing stories about his shenanigans pretty much daily. I miss those. I've got so many stories, damn. My favorite has to be the one where his tick (he has OCD, ADD, and Tourettes for everyone else's background) was that he HAD to do whatever you told him not to do. Oh man, we had a lot of fun with that one. We weren't being dicks, we were just getting even for the electricity, internet, and all the food he ate over the years. But one time he went out on a date with this SMOKING hot chick (he gets good looking women) and he had pissed us off earlier in the day by doing laundry at our apartment, forgetting it, and leaving it all out for us to find when we got home. So we called him up while he was out for this nice dinner and said, "Ryan, don't punch yourself in the cock." And he says, "I fuckin' hate you guys" :::PUNCH::: :::PUNCH::: :::PUNCH::: Hilarious.

counterfiction Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hahahahahaha. I've never heard a Rado story i didn't like. Here's a topper. You know how he has a socially-unacceptable tick? Like when he sings live he gives the crowd the finger the whole time. Or that he has to compulsively touch boobs, crotches, etc? Well at his wedding him and his wife were praying with the pastor and right in the middle of the pastor praying (in front of about 200 people) he reached out and grabbed the pastor's junk. Mostly funny because the pastor started laughing and no one had to look up because we all knew what had just happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counterfiction Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 yeah, I remember him working there. he can't seem to keep a job for more than 4 months at a time. hell, he used to manage As Cities Burn, Jonezetta, Life In Your Way, Twelve Gauge Valentine, and Ocean's Firing. he wasn't fired by any means but it just burnt him out REAL bad.

ronniethebear Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I would suggest that we start a Rado appreciation thread, but it would only be you and me telling stories back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Foalshttp://www.myspace.com/foals This band is fucking DOPE. It's a British version of Minus The Bear mixed with Bloc Party. Killer record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer record. Yeah man the whole record is amazing, they pressed it too so even better. I know they have played a couple of NY shows but cant wait till maybe they do an extensive tour here in the states, kinda unlikely they will swing through Dallas anytime soon though.
