Razorcake just published this article by Bret who writes "
Black Cloud." It just about sums it up, besides our
relative wealth of
zinesters and our roster of
punk entrepreneurs. Also, with the 15th House being around for so long (2003? 2004?),
Skylab existing equally as long, and with the
Monster House being in its third year - the venues of the house show scene are more institutionalized then the year-by-year sentiment in the article (which was more true a couple of years ago: Hunter House, Screamer House, Stink House, House of Rice, Scoliosis House, Sheridan House, Villa Vietcong, 24/7 House, etc). Maybe now more people will spend a year being confused in a place they thought was cool (which I am all about).
