We accept that too. It comes from "On Thirteenth and Proctor", where the original garage was.

im almost positive this is the pronunciation since they used to be on 13th and proctor.

1-3 would be for 13th and P would be for proctor

It is Oh-En-Three-Pee.

One-three-pee is technically wrong, but doesn't bother me.

ONEP is sort of funny.

At least you guys are closer than a certain NS member who was saying it OPEN.

Yes. Open.

This is what happens when you turn a garage based hobby into something much more.

Who cares? Whether you say on-three-p, one-three-p, thirteenth and proctor, o-n-3-p or whatever, people will know what you're talking about.

I've always said on-three-p, even though I knew the correct pronounciation.  oh en three pee is just hard to say.
