Heavy Burner's
Society
Milpitas
1980's
A self-professed, "Bullshit Club," evidenced by annual elections for club president (nickels counted as one vote "for" pennies one vote "against"). Votes were counted New Year's
eve for that year, not the following year, and weren't done being counted until after midnight, so the elected official was
never really President, but
got bragging rights for the previous year. The money helped pay for booze at the party.
Cards with a custom rubber stamp containing secret ID symbol's were printed for members to gain entry to parties (passed through the door jamb).
Each member had a nickname and "the Prez" had to approve these, but even though membership was rather exclusive, everyone who smoked
dope in Milpitas in the early to mid-80's either scored from one of the members or knew of the HBS.
Matt "The Prez,"
Friday at 5 at Brian's,
Rocky, the asshole who would inevitably yell and kick everyone out.
You could describe us as white punks on
dope, but this it is the only abreviation of HBS that can stand.
