Bringing me back to my earliest days in shows, the concert that occurred at Megan’s, a Greencastle High Schooler, brought back a lot of ambivalent memories to my own high school punk experience.

Just dismissing the actions of some of the bands and the individuals as an isolated happening, I trekked over to the skate park’s pavilion and expected pretty much the same style of music and the same talent level…

Sometimes it’s a phone call Sometimes it’s a handshake Sometimes it’s a look in your best friends eyes. You never expect it. You never forget the moment When for the first time you realize that you can’t go back, Ever again. – “The Death Of…
The zinester that does this work is simply great. He is an adorable boy, but enough of that. The magazine is a salmon pink, and the magazine is not focused at all. This is a good thing, as even if a piece does not have its intended effect on a reader, the next piece isn t related at all, and the person has a better chance to like it. Strong…

If individuals want to…
I went directly to the Against Me! Shows site, and found out that they would be hitting up Columbus Ohio a few short days from that night. Calling up my buddy Shayne, we end up going up a few hours early just to make it in time for the opening band. Not having a concrete idea of where the venue was at (all we knew was that it was on…
