Much of it is still in tact, a reminder of the Masque’s short, explosive history.</p> <p>This is part of a series of videos exploring old punk clubs from the 70s and 80s, to see what’s left.

Your lyrics are of the “I’m fucked” variety. Which one do you think is a more accurate representation of yourself?</span><br/><br/><strong>Ryan: </strong><span>Depends what day. Most comedians are pretty weird, fucked-up people. I think I’m a very two-faced person. Not in a shitty, backstabbing kind of way, but in the sense that when I go out to a show or hang out, I’m pretty jovial. That same night, I usually come home and stay up all night being a dickhole. I guess they’re both pretty accurate descriptions of me.</span><br/><br/><strong>Tommy: </strong><span>Did one type of behavior start as a defense mechanism to mask the other? For example, “I’m fucked in the head and confused, but if I tell a funny story maybe people won’t notice.”?</span><br/><br/><strong>Ryan: </strong><span>That’s pretty much exactly it. Not all the time, but that’s as close to an accurate description of how I deal with things on a daily basis. I’ve kind of accepted that I’m always going to be a little weird about everything. I’ve just learned that I can channel that into different things and try to spin something out of it.</span></p> </blockquote>http://razorcake.tumblr.com/post/49864717985http://razorcake.tumblr.com/post/49864717985Tue, 07 May 2013 10:33:13 -0700off with their headsmusicinterviewrazorcake<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2e448d9c5fd3a6dfb06092b1b6818c2c/tumblr_mmeol3nAwh1qzpbmro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://half-fiction.com/post/49823509703/bam-super-stoked-got-yours-yet" class="tumblr_blog">halffiction</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>BAM. super stoked. got yours yet?</p></blockquote>http://razorcake.tumblr.com/post/49823715971http://razorcake.tumblr.com/post/49823715971Mon, 06 May 2013 19:10:12 -0700comicswhitelung: ATTENTION VANCOUVER: WE ARE HOMELESS.
