Earn Your Stripes
Commonly referred to as EYS among the A-Town undaground, Earn Your Stripes is a dirty crazy-ass HxC brutal as fuck band from Aurora, Ontario. They fuck shit up every show and venue walls have been broken by their legions of hatexmoshers. Some of the members are metal as fuck and others are just plain dustaz.
EYS is notorious for its hatexcrew, the EYS HATEXCREW, the toughest and only crew in Aurora. The crew consists of the band members and any of their friends who are closely affiliated with the band. The band can be seen roaming A-Town at night with their hats and kix. Usually, there are several members of the crew with them at all times. People usually know enough not to get in their way, but if another crew poses a fight, EYS HATEXCREW deals with it in their usual manner: becoming good friends with them and taking them out for breakfast!

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
