But this thread isn't about you. Please pay your respects and/or discuss your experiences with Austin.
I have arrhythmia, though not so pronounced as my father, my family has history of heart diseases I already did, read the thread faggot
he was seriously awesome and i wish i had the opportunity to talk to him more.....fuck. he'll be seriously missed.
I mostly only knew him threw ninjaeater/my son (who covered a lot of overlap with our tastes), but he always seemed like a great poster. Really sad news.
Added a link to the National Marfan Foundation in the OP. If you have cash to spare and thought Hanatarashi was a cool dude you should consider donating, though no one's holding anything against you if you don't. No need to make your donation public either; I'm not intending this for any reason except to pay respects to Austin.
This is very disheartening to hear. I always thought that he seemed like a nice guy in the chats that we had, from time to time. He seemed intelligent, had taste and a nice sense of humor. So strange to read this news, now. RIP Austin.
Holy crap. I don't post here often, but when I saw it was the guy with this avatar , my heart sank. He had some good posts and seemed like a great guy from what I read. RIP dude.
Fuck. He was an awesome poster and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends right now. He was only 19 I can't even imagine what they are going through. Godammit this sucks so much. RIP, man.
This is truly upsetting. Not too long ago I gave him links to the new Flying Lotus and offered him a what.cd invite (which he respectfully declined) He was a really nice, cool dude, a great poster in my opinion, and he had really good taste as well. This is awful. RIP
The guy was the shit in IRC. Despite not having the presence of some posters, I always thought he stood out in some unique way that I couldn't put my finger on. More often than not, he made me at least chuckle, whether he intended to or not. Gonna miss the guy. RIP.
( 15:19 + stroker ) bennett is active at the fucking corner store ( 15:19 +Hanataras ) THE FUCKING CORNER STOOOORE One of my favorite stroker quotes. RIP man
Every time he posted a pic I pointed out the striking similarities between him and George Harrison. RIP
Like a lot of people have already said, I didn't know him but he came across like a truly awesome guy, and I don't say that just because of what's happened. I wanted to get to know him at some point, but I've only been here for such a short time. I really regret not speaking with him. Still...RIP, man.
I've been reading this thread since it was started, even stickied it for Ogre.. but I haven't been able to post in it for several reasons cuz it kinda hit me in a weird way... .. I didn't what to say...there might have been 2 threads like this..... I barely interacted with Austin.. except for the occasional infraction (I know you all can't see the related threads that I see but they are infraction threads and I was one of the issuers).. this really saddens me because it was the same way for the way I knew VG.. I know there are a lot of great people and posters on this board and I've barely had the chance to get to really know them personally... I wish i would have gotten to know you better Austin... RIP man. Maybe I'll see you sometime.
Regret is a lingering stench. I feel like shit right now. By the way, I can't view those poems you mentioned, for whatever reason.
18 is no age at all, especially when I thought he was at least my age, which is still no age to go. RIP dude, I don't really know what to say. Tears were shed, and I did not expect that for some reason when I didn't know you that well.
This shit makes me feel terrible, because I never really talked to him. I can recall little exchanges and seeing him on tinychat, but I never really got to know the dude. It makes me want to make an effort to get to know a lot of you guys on a more personal level, and also makes me want to become less of a shit poster.
Fuck. Rest in Peace Austin. You were definitely one of my best friends here. I loved talking to you for hours on end in IRC about Tim and Eric and folk punk. Fuck, I don't even know what to say. I'm really going to miss you.
God fucking damnit, this is awful. I remember him being a cool guy. He'll be missed. Is it just me, or does seeing the avatar of someone who has died make it hit home that much more? It's strange.
Damn....another death. Can't say I knew him personally but I remember him being a good poster. RIP really?
aw man He was pretty much the only person here who took my music recs seriously and we used to talk about things like Der Blutharsch and Jerome Nougaillon (and TROUM) on MSN. Literally the only person to ever actively come to me to ask me about music things here. Miss da kid
