    Hi everyone.

    This is a very cool site.

    I'm a lover of music (virtually any genre except Heavy Metal, Bachata & Country), Science Fiction, travel and food.

    Trying to make sense of myself.

    :peace:

    Purple Yoda.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! I'm also a music lover and have been a musician as well as a music teacher my whole life. We also have common interests in Science Fiction! I usually have one or even two SciFi books that I'm reading at the same time, or one that I'm reading and one that I'm listening to on an App on my phone!

    *****We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary!

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can post a question on my Profile Page or send me a Private Message.

    .....David :gay_pride_flag:

    Hi and welcome! I like science fiction and futuristic novels. Two favorite authors are Ursula K LeGuin and Ray Bradbury.

    Hi and welcome to EC! I love most music as well, other than a lot of punk. Unlike you, I am a metal fan, though, mostly classic metal, so we will have to agree to disagree on that genre. :grin:

    Nice, I know Friday's concert was AWESOME. My friend said Sunday's was just as good. The cool thing is they did different song lineups each night, so if you were like my friend and went to both you got two unique shows. PEACE!
