It came to me in a dream to clean the mess and build whatever I found. But I feel like I'm bit off more than I can chew. However, I do know their are people that like to have the same ideas like you and I. Sure I didn't say much, but I was just there to hear you talk. So what if you were drunk. I don't give a fuck. That's the way you like to get down. Cool by me. I just feel like people that talk about unity and keeping friends tight are the same people that believe in unity. But there's more than just talking about it and doing something. It's like that punk joke... "How many punks does it take to change a light bulb? 20... 19 to bitch about it and one to do something about it." Let's break that stereotype.
We can start off small. And as for me. I'm not from here. It's very hard to start something, but don't know where to start. I've found a few groups of people that can help me. But writing an article here is not really going to do much. However... look at me. I took a newsletter and I seem to go to all of these places and that's how I found and met some cool people. I have the groups of nonprofits and small organizations. I just need some kind of support. I'm still new here and I like to know everyone to be friends with. And to not be strangers.
So here's my promise to Lobby and everyone else... Someway and somehow. I'll bring it back to it's friendliness in the scene. Why hang out with only a few friends, and not everyone? And it's not even about that. I'd just like to see everyone get along with everyone. I think once everyone is cool with everyone, that we'll be able to hang all out at once.
I'll do my best Lobby and friends....

We'll make the difference....
I few thing about me and the way music is to me. I love it. I love it a lot. Sure you must have heard it from a lot of people. But I feel something about me that I can only get out of music.
Before I left AZ, I was in a band called Elron. Ska punk band out of Eloy/P.C. Great band. But for us, nothing was going on in P.C. It was just dry land. I know for a fact that there was a scene here in P.C. When it just came to us, it was like if kids found a dead body and was just poking it with a stick. It was there and did it's thing for a reason. Just couldn't go on anymore right then and there. But now that we had our time in '08 and '09. We have met some great people and saw and heard some great bands. Forty Lashes from Detroit, MI. This Is A Stick Up from NY, La Cachimba from Mexico. Especially when we got to meet a lot of great people in the local scene and bands. All base around the Ave, ECV, Elron, The Braskies, Illegal Citizen, AZK, and Eloy Unified.
Only active bands I know in P.C. are now:
Elron
The Culprits
Salvia Divinorum
Driven By Misfortune
It's all I know for now. And I miss it. There's a lot of people and things I miss. But I feel we can do a lot more with me here in CA now. It seems like they are doing fine in P.C. now. A show was going on last night I from what a lot of bands and people said was it was pretty epic. A lot of Tucson hardcore bands were there. Now that the scene is back in business. We also got the Braskies back. After five long months. They are doing shows now. Ska-Core Halloween is going on at Tacos Locos in Flagstaff. And only big shows goes on there. :)
I feel kind of lost here in the whole differences of scenes and adapting. I don't know who is who and what's going on around me. I like to help out in anyways possible. So, it was a walk for me when I found "We'll Make the Difference" O.C. Hardcore/Punk Newsletter. And I'm glad I did. I found a lot of stuff in just this letter. I contacted them and it was really nice and refreshing to find something close to home. I kept writing back to them and telling my deal on what I'm doing here and what was I doing in AZ. I'm glad to put my foot in a door to some kind of outlet. I felt like I was going no where.
And in the newsletter, I found this cool record shop in Costa Mesa where you can find rare shit. A Charles Bronson record... $40 bucks? Well it's on 19th st. And pretty cool place. I got to meet members of former band Resist and Exist. Such nice people. They were really cool to talk to. I would tell them these cool info and anarchist collective shops in AZ and how active the scene is in AZ. It's nothing big, but it's something, right? As I was leaving they told me that they are going to release a record out soon and asked me if there were any bands interested in doing a release. I had so many bands to list. But I had got it down to a few bands in mind.
Hope I can get more than one band on that comp. But since the newsletter. Hopefully I can help out here like I was helping out in AZ. And of course... help out my home state and P.C.P.
I'll find a way...
