(A) FIRSTxPOST (A)

Last night I had a blast at show in Round Lake, which is something that hasn't happened in a long time. It made me realize that, fuck! I'm probably missing out on some decent shows in the suburbs because I'm not on Facebook. Well instead of making a Facebook, I decided that it'd be way better to just fucking make a list of shows that are going down.

"What's wrong with using Facebook?" First off, Facebook sucks. It's a miserable place. Advertisements rammed down your throat. And most importantly, IT'S TOTALLY NOT PUNK. But for real, Facebook is an insiders' club where you have to have the right friends to even hear about some "events". Some kid who's into music and stuff might not have the social circle that is going to invite them to or post about shows that are happening. Facebook is a fucking mess and it's not meant to cater to those of us who are looking to have tangible experiences in the real world.

So the point of this (yeah, I had a point) is to have an accessible, punk-ran DIY website to share punk (and other) shows. If your band has a show coming up, let me know, I'll put it up. If you wanna hype a cool business or house that has shows, you can do it. If you're trying to start a band with some other kids, do it. If you're sick of talk and wanna do something on Friday night, figure out where to go.

I can't do this on my own so it's up to everyone who gives a hoot to do something. Fuck apathy! Be about that bidness.
