Subject: RE: RE: RE: hey
Body: dont be sorry! its okay, im the one who's sorry. when i said what i said, i just put all my words in the wrong places so it made what i said seem like it was a bad thing...thats all. i still feel bad about this, and i can assure you it wont happen again. and besides, i think its AWESOME that you're into hardcore for the music itself. you dont see that much these days. normally girls are there because of boyfriends, or they sell merch, or the dudes (i still dont see why girls like hardcore dudes, we all suck, haha)...but that rules so much you go just for the shows itself. i respect that about you, and i defintely respect the fact that you sent me that message. hopefully we'll get to talk in person at a show...i'd like to try to explain myself a bit better because i hate doing these kind of things on the internet, haha. thanks for the response, and hopefully we'll talk soon. bye!
MORE GIRLS IN HARDCORE NOT FOR THE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I'm sorry for not understanding what you were trying to do. I understand now that you weren't trying to singe out the girls, you were just trying to include everyone. I'm just not too optimistic about this kind of stuff, it happens too much. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. Have an awesome time on tour!

Hey, whats up? this is justin, the singer of the homefront.
first off, i want to say im sorry for what i said at the show. now after reading what you had to say about it, i realize that i was wrong in what i did, and it shouldn't have been said. the only reason why i said it is because think about it...who moshes to fall out boy? hahaha. i didn't say 'hey girls, come up front because there's not going to be any moshing so you wont get hurt', i said it meaning 'hey girls, everyone loves fall out boy so come sing along'. im sorry for it being a deceiving comment...i really am. we do that cover as a joke, and a few of the kids there wanted to hear it, so we decided to just say 'fuck it' and play the song. im having a bit of trouble trying to explain myself because im not too good at doing these sort of things over the internet...its better in person. but one more time, im sorry for saying what i did. it wont happen again. we are glad that you enjoyed our set, and we hope to see you again at another show of ours (im sure it'll happen sometime...we play CT more than we play our own state, haha). so please accept this apology from myself, and even though they had nothing to do with it, i know the rest of the band feels the same way. i am sorry. talk to you later, and have a nice day.

Hey, you guys were great last night in wallingford, but I wanted to say something about the fall out boy. I don't care about you playing fall out boy, and even if I did, it's your band, not mine. Calling the girls up to the front, though? And reassuring them that there wouldn't be any moshing? That's fucked up. I was a girl at the show, and not the only one, that wasn't there as a girlfriend, or as a merchgirl. I like hardcore, that's why I go to shows. Hardcore's about unity and equality. Can you stay away from the sexism?
Fuck You Thank You The Homefront!
