New Guy here...

Greetings all. I'm new to this forum, so thought I'd post rather than just lurk. I'm 18, pure Japanese, stuck on Oahu (hawaii), and I'm currently in the process of adjusting from my old gothic style to a more raver-esque style. Although most of my stuff is still black, all the excess crap that comes along with most Tripp brand stuff is just collecting dust now (as it does get heavy sometimes).

Up until now, I finally got a hold on some nice stuff. A few pairs of Illigs, a pair of macgears, and I still use most of the older style of tripp.

Small rant. I hate what's become of tripp brand pants now. As early as a year back or so, they made good quality pants. Now nothing at hot topic of tripp brand is worth buying here. It sort of disappoints me. Even the look of the pants has gone downhill. It's like they mass make tons of different pants, and then mass make them with lousy quality. This is one reason why I've been searching for illig and macgear (and the occasional caffeine and kikwear).

With those name brands in mind, I guess I'd be labeled as gothic. But I don't fall into that stereotype as well as one would assume. I'm pretty random, and a bit more social than you'd think, although not too much.

Okay this is where my n00bness comes into play. I have yet to go to a rave. Because raves in Hawaii aren't really publicly promoted, and none of my friends have ties to the rave community, I have little to no chance of catching word of anything upcoming.

(then I wonder who's going to bother to read all this. LOL)

Well I guess that'll be all I have to say for now.
