Charisma Calgary

I'm a 17 year old thrasher who resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada as you can see from my account name =P
I recently found a local family owned store called Charisma and I can truly say it is a Headbanger's Heaven. The only reason I am telling you guys this is to help their business since it is just a small local store. If you ever come through Calgary, or if you do live in Calgary, you MUST check it out.
Now, about the store... Sure, it does have it's shitty faggot Juggalo merch and Slipknot shirts and BFMV, BMTH, and all that crap but there is barely any poser stuff if you compare it to the real metal merch they have there. If you can get past the fact they sell poser crap, you can really see how awesome it is. The place is packed, and I mean PACKED with band shirts from possibly over 1500+ different bands. There are thousands of shirts from thousands of different bands in the floor area ALONE. From what I have been told, there are millions more in the basement, but the only bummer is that ONLY the staff is allowed down there, but there is good news. The elderly Indian couple that owns the place will be FAR MUCH MORE than happy to help you if you can't find the shirt you are looking for, they defenitly know their shit when it comes to band names. I believe their names are Simon and Mary. Anyways, sometimes the band shirt you want will be on the upper floor area, sometimes it will be in the basement. Either way, you will still walk out the the store with the band shirt you want. Basically they sell all kinds of merch for all kinds of metal bands. Shirts, hats, belts, patches, pins, belt buckles, wristbands, lighters, etc. and they even sell metal accessories such as bullet belts, studded wrist bands, and shit like that. They also sell bongs and pipes and various things to smoke weed with too which is awesome! =D All their shit comes in from Europe, so you can find hard to find shirts there too! Even for bands that are so fucking deep underground that barely anyone knows them. It is defenitly is a pretty cool metalhead hangout area too cause you can meet other metalheads there and strike up a conversation with them. I got my Warbringer, Toxic Holocaust, Municipal Waste, DRI, and Sodom shirts there and they kick ass! \m/

To conclude, if you ever drop by Calgary, you MUST go there! It will defenitly be worth the time! Here's the link if you want the address and such.

Fuck yeah! I wish they were hiring. If they would be hiring right now, I'd send in a thousand applications and quit my shitty job, haha.

My brother might be going to Canada this year for college, I'll ask him to drop by :). In the meantime, there isn't a website is there?

Tell him that it is MANDATORY to drop by. This place is just too good to miss it. He has got to check it out.

Definitely! He isn't a metalhead though, but if there's something I'd like him to help me look for, I'll make him drop by.

The do have an online ordering catalog, but only for a select few items. All the good stuff, you have to go in-store to get them.
