@bwecht hope this is ok to post. Found in a yearbook at goodwill blurred out of courtesy #ninjasexparty #ninjabrian

@Spgato_Bomb I think most fans don't realize that if TWRP could've, they would've made The Device disappear like the Pre-Device material. I think the problem is it was too widespread by that point. But they wanted to basically start fresh with 2Nite.. The best option was the retirement show.

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

@TWRPband That's why we love GROBB.

@abigaelo323 Congrats!!

There were some demos. I have a very simple demo of Fun Rack, that's as far as any of those era tracks went. They were written in late 2012 & by Bombu Tron's departure in Jan 2014 those tracks got retired, as they didn't have the ability to preform them to their full potential.

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

Honestly? Nope. TWRP were definitely more goofy high school/college kids with their humor and "vibes"(cause they were) when they first started, but they've always been kind & had their hearts in the right place. I think thats pretty evident of the fan base they've accumulated.

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

And it's not screenshots or photos saved off their accounts. It's decades of collecting & research both physical and digital. data: EX: comprehensive lists of almost every show they've played since starting in 2007, flyers, posters, stories, interviews, albums of unseen media.

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

I've spent 16 years preserving & archiving their history. I don't claim to know everything, but yes I have a large knowledge of TWRP & their history. It sucks I can't share all of it out of respect for them, but I don't think anyone truly understands how much I have in my files.

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

@MeouchFailure That would be fantastic!

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

I feel like I went pretty realistic with what will likely get played, but with a few hopeful pieces sprinkled in.

[Zigzaglawyer @Zigzaglawyer]

Made a bingo sheet for songs I think TWRP might play/songs I hope they play at the anniversary show

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

And I just don't see that happening. And that's where my mixed emotions sit..
But none the less I'm very interested to see how this plays out and I look forward to the live album and all that comes from this.
Here's to another 1000 years..

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

Not attending, due to schedule conflicts.
I've been hesitant to make any comments to be honest.. I'm absolutely interested, but have not exactly felt excited? Unfortunately
(1 of ?)

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

I'm sure it will amazing, weather or not it's going to be an evening with key points on their history is where I feel it will likely fall short. While I'm not expecting them to bust out Pre-Device material, I think it's worth finding a small way to honor it for those who lived it

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

Nice try, showfeetguy.

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

@MeouchFailure @MayMiyasfool The mural is actually in Phoenix AZ! By the very talented Maggie Keane! They wore those track suits basically the whole tour, so there's photos from all over.

[turbomander @turbomander]

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

@MeouchFailure Could be worse lol one of the last times I went to Halifax I was like 12 in 2009, I missed seeing TWRP by one week. I saw a show at their local all ages club the day before I went home.. I didn't know about them till 2010..
Hey, beyond every dark cloud there is a bright blue sky!

[Gerbs @Gerber982]

@MeouchFailure And I thought my childhood was crazy lol
Meanwhile your family was dragging you around random streets of Toronto at midnight-1am at the ripe old age of like what like 5 or 6?
