I wish we got more stuff on film. We should start documenting. Yeah, we should really do that.
Books
Can you believe we weren't in the stupid punkhouse book that Thurston Moore edited? What's with canada always getting excluded from punk rock history? We're way more punk than the Woosta house. Those guys are chore wheel hippies! Come on!
Heroes
Mr. Jew, the landlord who encouraged the original three girls who moved in to get a few more roommates to keep the rent cheap.
About me: all ages venue in east vancouver. maybe venue isn't the appropriate word...
Punk rock benefit shows and other d.i.y. events.
No sexist bullshit or any shit like that. No hanging on pipes from the basement ceiling (thats the gas line, dummy!)
Oh, new rule: no doing coke at the alf house! You'll thank us later...
Who I'd like to meet: Bands on tour.
People drinking money who have no beer for the bands.
