I can say without a doubt that heavy metal fans are by far (I can't stress this enough), by far, the most courteous and grateful patrons I've ever dealt with.

Thanks for introducing me to these guys - listening to music that isn't country is good for me :)<br /><br />P.S. http://www.womenoffaith.com/2013/09/view-volunteer/ these guys are your reciprocal...I will never work that ever again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150442668942523830noreply@blogger.com
