NCRA circa 1996


This photo is courtesy of Jose courtesy of Keven VDC. This is the Nor-Cal Reno Alliance around 1996. It is at a show that I cannot remember, but I am sure it is at Berekely Square. Those were the days.......starting with top row, two chicks I don't know, maybe one is Jose's ex whom I can't remember, next row, Mike Schmidt, Jim Severt, Leapin' Larry?, J-moneyless G, don't know, Brian McClaughery, Glenn Lemon(leaning), Kevin and Luke?, me(in red shirt), bottom row, two dudes I don't remember, Jose Galvan (sac sweatshirt), Bob, and Jess Brown. True family.

Word on this photo Cliff.
People you missed ...

The girl between Mike & Jim is Mandy...hahahhaha

The girl on the left of the pole is Jose's ex Corey. I do not know the other girl. Maybe one of those 2 sisters he knows.

That is leapin larry in the blue hoody. I have that hoody now. I stole it from Mandy in the divorce. hahaha.

The dude leaning on Brian is Chris Crabbe. He has since sold out. He was at the takeover shows.

I do not know who the 2 dudes in the back row are.

Down in front - on Jose's immediate right is K-double. The dude on the end - I should know who it is but I cant think of it.

What show is this? Is this before the LA takeover show? Is this one of the Norcal Mouthpiece shows? Is this the secret SOIA/Beastie Boys show in Sacto that we went to on the way to LA for takeover? I need to know. Maybe Jose will help.

Nonetheless, this is the core of the NCRA and many of us still hold strong.

true family? im next to santos (second from the left in the bottom row- the viewer's left) next to luke, that is shawn from the east coast, his old buddy. and its corey - joser's ex-girlfriend, with erica? and last but not least - it is the california takeover of 1996 in so-cal, earth crisis, snapcase and strife, later made into a live cd by victory (though the second show was way better than the cd) this was taken right before "the square-off" between the ncra and the monster crew? what a way to ruin the show. this was before the second of the two shows. that earth crisis set was one of the craziest ever. back when everyone was vegan - when they were'nt eating. geez we're getting old.

I don't drink..........

.........because I don't!!! Lately, I have had alot of people ask me why. I even had a discussion with my good friend Ryan about this subject. I have been straightedge for a long time. I am not going to start drinking out of the blue. I never liked it. I never liked how it made me feel. I never will. I am not going to wake up one day and go to the liquor store and get a six pack or a bottle of tuaca. It ain't gonna happen. Get that through your head. But while I am on this tip, let me tell you exactly what it is for me when I talk about alcohol........ Don't you use it for an antiseptic? I don't need it to be social. Or to fit in. I could carry around a bottle of IBC at a party and your dumb ass wouldn't know any different. I am having just as much fun as you are and you won't remember.............. I am a better person for it. Every single thing I have done in my life, good or bad, has been a conscious decision. I can say that with pride. I am not a square. If ...

Time passes us by.........

.......faster and faster as we get older. When we are children, we have so much to look forward to. It seems like the next day, whether it be for our trip to Chuck E. Cheese or wherever it may be, takes goddamn forever. I remember Christmas or the month prior feeling like an eternity - then something happened; my youth left me and I didn't even realize it until it was gone. Yeah, okay, this is random, but I see Luke kicking dudes asses, looking good doing it and I often wonder what would have happened if I wouldn't have taken breaks in training? Could that have been me? Is it too late. Jason and I talked about it - its a young dudes game. Everything is a young dudes game. Wasting fucking time in bands or wasting years on broads has gotten me to a point in my life to where it may be too late. Is it fucking time to pack this shit up and head off into the sunset? Will I always be a workin' stiff, toiling in a career that I have yet to choose? I think back and since 2000 my li...

The XthingsX that we do......

So, with my infinite amounts of spare time, I have once again renewed my commitment to myself to be the best I possibly can be. With this, I have taken part in and surfed my favorite forum group on Myspace. The one titled 'straightedge'. Now what the hell does this have to do with making myself a better person? Well, it has everything to do with it. Maybe by having correspondence with the mass amounts of people that call themselves straightedge on myspace, I might learn something in my old age. Old dogs can learn new tricks. But alas, I have not. I have only been able to reaffirm some things that I always thought all along. 1. There are so few of us that truly give a shit about Straightedge. 2. So few of us are actually talking about things that MATTER in life. What about the middle east and Irans refusal to let UN inspect their nuclear program. That is certainly important to me, you and well, everyone! 3. The discussions that do come up are rarely about anything but these few ...
