We are hosting shows, potlucks, film screenings, open forums, whatevs! Contact us if you have any show ideas, or if you need help booking in the area. We are all about community, and we love you. We have couches/floorspace to crash on. We're all super friendly, although some of us can be a little nutso/strange.
Fri/Sat shows, and sometimes early potlucks on Wednesdays. We try and start music at nine, we try and be respectful to our neighbors so we try and finish with loud bands by midnight. We dont do guarantees, we ask for donations from the crowd for the touring bands and it helps.
Its unfortunate but I can never find the time to respond to everyone, we have been absolutely flooded with messages. Dont take it personally, we do shows only once to a few times monthly and it would be impossible for me to respond to everyone who writes. Try not to flood the inbox with repeated messages, this is frustrating and only makes it worse, love love love love you all.
Blessings,
Comrade F.
THANKS TO ALL WHO MAKE OUR SHOWS AWESOME! THANKS TO NEIGHBORS AND SOME OF THE GOOD COPS WHO DONT GIVE A FUCK! THANKS TO OUR AWESOME LANDLORD!

Ayewikidit and found co;)ydinks: "Chernobyl bears poetic connotations in folklore, for a number of reasons. Its strong smell is evocative of the steppe, as various species of Artemisia are widespread there. Chernobyl roots were used in folk medicine to heal neurotic conditions, although an overdose could lead to neurological disorders, including memory loss. Chernobylite is the name cited for highly radioactive, unusual and potentially novel crystalline formations found at the Chernobyl power-plant after the explosion. These formations were found in the basement(surprise, surprise) below Reactor #4 during an investigation into missing reactor fuel." ...guys, they know about the reactor fuel.
