    How to heal a scraped face

    Thanks for the input guys! I guess the gist is to keep it hydrated, disinfected, and bandaged. I've done the first two, but don't have bandages/gauze handy. Quote: Originally Posted by cash68 PS: Chicks dig scars. Quote: Originally Posted by RockCity Walk...

    UBC head-fi meet --how many out there?

    So far I've seen two Koss PortaPros, a K181DJ, and three K26Ps on campus. Not entirely sure if the owners of these porta rigs are all head-fi members, but it's a safe bet I'm not the only one with a sick rig here. If there are more of you out there (even if it's just two more of us), we...

    What do you do while listening to headphones??

    I sit down, close my eyes, turn off the lights, and get lost in the music. I see I'm one of the few here who actually devotes 100% attention to the music.
