He was going to get all tatted up with "Geiger's artwork" because he's such a HUGE fan. He was even kind enough to tell me all about "H.R. Geiger" and that he was "the German guy" who "designed the alien and the predator." And then I turned into this guy...

HuggsJun 08, 2020, 05:34:59 AM Reply #22 on: Jun 08, 2020, 05:34:59 AM Quote But did he qualify as a "true" fan?
Local TroubleJun 08, 2020, 05:40:45 AM Reply #23 on: Jun 08, 2020, 05:40:45 AM Quote Keep in mind, he was a goth kid. He didn't cop to being an Alien fan. He thought that sort of thing was only for geeks and he was too cool for that. He was in a band too. No, he was specifically an "H.R. Geiger" fan because he admired the art.
