The Ladies of the Hello Henry Blog

I need to go into hibernation for a few days to meet a deadline for a project I’m working on. Now I know some readers are prone to experiencing Hello Henry withdrawals when we hibernate. Unfortunately the Hello Henry Patch is still undergoing extensive research and development, but the good news is an alternative treatment is available.

To get your Hello Henry kicks while I’m hunkered down caffeinating myself stupid and ignoring my pussy ass human need to sleep, I encourage you to join Team Rollins, our Henry Rollins fan community on Ning. Why join? You’ll get to hang out with the lovely ladies of the Hello Henry blog. There’s the tattoo totin’ guntattoogirl, team rollins tee model Nikki Maclicous, and the lady who gave us the nudge to get the forum happening in the first place, Raequel… just to name a few. What more reason do you need, man!?!

Henry Rollins Signs a Fan’s Car!

Henry Rollins Fan Video

We got this email and video from Hello Henry reader John during the week, check it out!

“I’m a native of New York city, but as of 2003 I’ve been living in the Republic of Panama. I’ve been a Henry Rollins fan since I was in high school (its a been a while since those days). Unfortunately I’ve never had the good fortune to coincide with one of Hank’s spoken word shows; something that brings me feelings of great sadness.

My brother Chris lives in the great state of Florida; he recently had the opportunity I’ve been never had… he went and saw good ol’ Henry do it LIVE!

After the show, Chris got to meet and hang out with Henry for a couple of minutes. My brother gave Henry the whole story: “… my brother is a huge fan… never got to see you… he’s probably hanging from a rope in his closet at this very moment, etc.”

After my brother was through with his tale of misfortune and sadness, Henry suggested that my brother take his digital camera and film him while he sent me a personalized Rollins message. What a fuckin’ champ! My brother jumped at the opportunity and got to filming, and here’s a video of the message:”

Team Rollins Is Go!

Team Rollins, our Henry Rollins fan community, is alive and dangerous! It has been set up on the social networking site Ning.com. Check it out and join up here: http://teamrollins.ning.com. The community has all sorts of wiz bang features. You can create your own profile page, post blogs, photos, videos, events, the works! We’re kinda new to Ning so we’re still getting familiar with all the goodies it provides. Please let me know if there’s something you’d like added.

I see this community as a place, not just to talk Rollins, but somewhere to meet fellow fanatics and talk about all kinds of cool stuff. So don’t feel the need to restrict the chatter to things Rollins related.

The community will be what YOU make it! In order for any community to thrive, it requires participation. So get postin’, get friendly with fellow fanatics, and have fun!

Happy trails…

Team Rollins Is (Almost) Go!

Heads up fanatics, Hello Henry is presently working on a Henry Rollins community board for all you wonderful “legal stalkers” (nice one Sonya!) to hang out and shoot the shit in. We’d been pondering the idea for a little while until Hello Henry reader, Raequel, gave us a lil’ nudge to get things moving. So stay tuned for that in the next week. It’s gonna be fun!

Another Crazy Fan Story

Here’s another story that reveals some of the craziness Henry has to deal with after his shows… the girl in this story was obviously suffering from some sort of psychotic illness, in which Michael Stipe of REM and Henry Rollins became intertwined with her delusions: http://members.tripod.com/~Deviant_/hr2.html.

What are your favourite Henry Rollins Interviews?

From time to time Hello Henry readers send in links to interviews with Henry. Because this isn’t really a “news” type fansite (there’s already the wonderful Rollins-News.com for that!) I haven’t always bothered to post them – unless they’re in the category of interview disasters, of course! However I thought it would be cool to add a list of the better Rollins interviews out there to the links page.

So what are your favorites? Please leave a comment or send in a message with your links (please note that comments are moderated so they won’t show up instantly).

Here’s an interview sent in by Hello Henry reader, Chris, which focuses on reading, books and literature: Henry Rollins Interview @ Found In The Margins
