AFI's fan base, the "Despair Faction," put more emphasis on the faction aspect than the despair. Although prone to wearing every shade of black available at Hot Topic, the group is a friendly bunch at the band's shows, waiting for hours outside the venue and selling out concerts as soon as tickets go on sale, as they did for the October 10 show at Webster Hall in New York City. Perhaps they enjoy the music more than the mood, or perhaps being in the presence of cult-of-personality vocalist Davey Havok (although guitarist Jade Puget certainly has his admirers) pushes the clouds away for brief moments. The positive vibes made even the fan club's official slogan, "through our bleeding, we are one," (frequently chanted) seem like a good thing. -
