You actually consider calling MTV's live line (1-888-311-4343) during TRL and ask
them to play VAST.
You decide to form a band that only does VAST cover songs.
You dream about VAST (hey, I know I'm not the only guilty one here!)
You drive more than 2 hours to see a VAST concert...and would do it again.
You celebrate all of the band members' birthdays.
You scream, squeal, and jump up and down whenever VAST is played on the radio,
even though you own their CDs.

guilty of this one too).
You have a whole debate about the lyrical meaning of "Dirty Hole."
You plan to see the "Tomb Raider" movie because there is a VAST song in it.
You don't even care that you don't get paid to pass stuff out for thestreet team.
(I've had people ask me why I promote VAST even though I don't get paid. I tell
them, "Haven't you ever listened to one of their CDs?")
You meet Vast and then you believe in love at first sight.
When you meet Jon and his hair is blowing and the song "Dream Weaver" is
playing in the back ground. (You know the scene in "Wayne's World." Hey
it really happened, it did!) Only, I didn't fall down:)
Your boss gives you luggage for Christmas because he knows you're going
to more shows. (Hey, that really happened too!)
You're checking flight schedules for shows more than 10 hour drive, and
kissing up to realitives for a place to crash.
You're already making up excuses to get off of work, but your boss
already knows where you're going 'cus he bought your luggage! lol
You're already ordering clothes for the next tour while your looking at
clothes that'll look hot on Jon!
You start playing computer golf hoping for a duel with Justin.
You call yourself a Vitch if your a female and Vastard if you're a male
When you write everything in the Vast font!
From Lamia & Silk
you are on the interent 24/7 either, making sites dedicated to them, or looking
for sites with them in it, and while doing so ticking your parents off, and your
sisters are yelling at you at the top of their lungs go get off the internet so they
can use the phone, but you won't and you tick everyone off... but hey your happy...
you have your VAST!

You know you're obsessed when all your cuddly toys are named Jon, Justin, Steve or
Thomas. I have Crosby the bear, Tom the green metallic monster and Jon the Loch
Ness Monster.
Or you try to get the word VAST into all the essays you do. Two examples from my
holiday essays:
He looks very small compared to the VAST sea in front of him and the building
beside him, showing that compared to his country and the fascists (represented by
the police building) , Marcello is practically nothing.
In front of Hitler stands a VAST crowd of German people
~Jezzy
when your being surveyed by a stranger and you say you're last name is crosby
~here
I'm gonna call my dog Crosby.. when I do get one, oneday..
when, you check this message board like 15 times a day
and read every single new post.
when the only cd you play is one of VAST's, for
hours/days/weeks on end
playing Literati @ Yahoo, you get really excited when it gives you letters you can
use to spell VAST, and even more excited when you can actually put it out on the
board
~PrettyWhenYouCry
When you feel you have to go 'cold turkey' from VAST and try not to listen to any
VAST for a week ...and only last two days!!
When you buy a coat cos it's the same colour as Jon's jacket in the Free video !
When you practically live on the realvast message board !
~miss bee
When everyone you know assumes you're going to
talk about them the minute you open your mouth
You know you're addicted to VAST when your sister says she saw the
Free vid once in the pub and thought it was ok so you buy her both the albums for
Christmas
~leona
You wake up singing "My TV and You."
You pump up your cd player in your car (that has VAST in it) just because
someone is listening to N'sync or any other musician.
You are obsessed with the lyrics
When in wal-mart in the music section you
put in a vast single and blast it.
You seem to get mad when someone turns the cd player off and your listening to
VAST.
You have nothing but vast posters hanging up.
You were so dumbfounded upon meeting the band you didn't say much, other
than "I'm from the sticks!" and other stupid lines.
That you have changed your desktop icons to VAST one's
~Teresa C
I missplaced my copy of Visual Audio Sensory Theater somewhere on my computer
desk and I really needed a fix and I wept until I found it. That is horrible. I need to
buy a new copy of V.A.S.T. because mine is almost loved to death and my brother
thought that he could have my old copy when I get a new one, but I won't let him
have it because it means too much to me.
~Maryerin
you know its bad when you start to get superstitious..while I'm joggin I sometimes
listen to VAST and I find myself going "okay if you step on that crack before he
says____ then..."
or "if you don't make it to that tree by the time the flute comes in then..."
~kyrsten
When you are so happy to see so many people from EVERYWHERE who love VAST
so much, and you want to share with them what they cant get

You preview all the Vast cds in Walmart when you know damn well they will
only play for 30 seconds then start advertising for Britney Spears.

in their profile.
You spend more time on this message board then you do at work/school.
You name all your pets after the members of the band and hold massive
5-hour tea parties with them.....with NO TEA!!!
You start a website and try to find the most obscure VAST fact or song title to
name it after.
You go out to the store and buy a bottle of 7-up just because Jon Crosby
mentioned it once in an interview.
you sit in front of the tv for hours during one of the Real World marathons on
MTV waiting for VAST to come on.
You try to make up your own lyrics for "Lady of Dreams"
You buy all the cds that Jon took his samples from and try to make your own
song out of them. (guilty of this one)
You actually read all the stuff I just typed......
~Verd
you play the albums over and over and get
your 4 year old daughter to like them!
you are contemplating risking life and limb just to hold a band member's hand for
a few seconds
(I'm so short that I couldn't lean over the barracade to reach Jon's hand, but I was
willing to risk cracking my skull open by climbing up on it and stretching for all I
was worth! Hubby wouldn't let me... I think I scared him LOL)
you know every word to every song and get thrown off while singing along at a live
show when they change little things!
you tell anyone and everyone who will listen for 2.5 seconds about the band, then
offer to buy them one of the albums so they can listen to it!
your concert shirt is less than a month old and already threatening to fade
because you've washed it so much!
you use lyrics from the songs as catchphrases or as code!

Your mom accuses you of being a(and I quote)"VAST teenibopper"!( How Dare
she!!)
You have perfected drawing the Vast logo by drawing it on every single one of
your book covers at school.(It's only half an S!)
When listening to either of the CDs, your friends ask you what you're listening to
and when you say "Jon" they know you're talking about VAST.(Insert strange giggle
here)
You attempt to plot a kiddnapping scheme to get to a concert when your mom
won't let you go 'cause it's a school night.(Don't think I wouldn't!)
You screamed when you saw Music For People on the shelf for the first time
'cause you didn't know VAST made a second album...(I did this, and, um, scared
everyone in Record Town...)
You force all of your friends and favorite teachers to listen to MFP until they either
buy it or kill you.(I'm still alive,must be a good sign..)
Here's one! You are shopping with your mom and you come upon
the Build-A-Bear
Workshop in the mall. You go in and see that you can make a
monkey. you, being
an extremely strange person, make a monkey and name it (what
else!) Jon! :P Now
your mom calls it "Jon-key" (you say that fast and it sounds like
junky) and your
friend Yllom calls it your love monkey.
Oh yeah, and you buy a little guitar to go with it....
You name all your Pokemon in the game Jon or Crosby or Jon Crosby...
~MorganT
We just love this band so much that we live, eat, breathe, and proclaim VAST!!!
when you print anything off the internet related
to VAST: pictures, interviews, CD reviews, show reviews...
Even more pathetic...I put them all into a binder in their own categories.
~shutterbug
When you got to 5 shows in 4 months! Guilty!
You have your locker at work or school filled with Jon pics!
When you play video games and sign out VASTARD, MIZVITCH, or VASTFAN on the high scores!
~(Me) Lamia Again!
When you
burn a copy of both cds for your car and only for your car, that way you wont risk
loosing the original should you car do one of the following:crash and get totaled
beyond recognition and kill the cd player with vast in it, catch on fire, melting vast
, get broken into and/or stolen with Vast in the cd player, or should the cd player
just decide it likes vast sooo much that it wants to eat it all up on ya.
you also know youve reached obsesession when you look at the back of MFP and look
at your bf and see the strong resemblence between him and Jon *sigh*, and your
mother agrees too (and yes this is actually true, he really does look like Jon).

~SpiralFlames
You make one of those little paper chain thingies that you used to in elementary
school to count down the days until the concert date of which you will have to drive
over 2 hours to see.

You know you are addicted to VAST when you start to sing the harmonies to VAST
songs, so you can hear how your voice sounds along with Jon's. In
case you ever
have to sing with them.
Or... when you seriously consider selling clothes or other personal
belongings so you
can buy a guitar like Jon's. Even though you don't play the guitar.
Or...when you put bands or people down and your
friends/boyfriend starts saying
"Yeah, well I know they're NO Jon Crosby!!" or "Not everyone
can be like Jon
Crosby!"

Musicland to steal the VAST poster so you can stop going in the

Jon's giant face again, and again, and again!!
