RIP steelinfaces

Post by FaceOnMars » Sun Mar 14, 2021 6:39 pm

He hasn't posted here in a number of years and I didn't know him personally but just learned about it on a Phish-related board that he visited frequented.

Sad news in any case and my condolences to his family and friends.

So who here has been around long enough to remember steelin?

I have, and man- this brings back a lot of memories.

First off- RIP steelin.

He knew Tom (WE) I believe, and in general was here very often posting his thoughts.

He was entertaining to say the least!

Fare thee well, man

This thread should be stickied, in my opinion.

We just got home and saw this~ it's stickied now. We knew Chris~ he was a nice kid, an excellent troll on here, who at times could be a pain in the ass jerk...but he was a really nice kid.

Last time I saw Chris was at Tom’s funeral. He was beating himself up to no end because Tom had reached out to him on his final evening to go get a burger and a beer, but Chris couldn’t be around Tom at that point because of their shared demon and passed on it. He totally blamed himself - thought that Tom would have still been around had he gone out with him.

In all likelihood, they would have gone out and gotten food, then Tom would have gone home and the same thing would have happened. I told Chris that over and over.....by night’s end, he at least outwardly was a little better.

I hope they’re together again now and are making their peace.

R.I.P. Chris

I think they were both at that NRPS gig with Donna Jean at The State. (07ish?). That was a fun night.

The Weireverywhere thread that was begun by Bendicon and is now moved to Jamaica is an intense retrospective of largely past .orgers. Holy cow !
