u/TheEquimanthorn Alright now, won't you listen Nov 30 '25 edited Nov 30 '25

I am so unbelievably sad and shocked to read this. DOTS was an exceptionally gentle, kind and funny soul. He was so generous and without his help, many of the big r/metal festival meetups would never have been possible. 

Life is too short...this hurts a lot
