I check in every month but just don't have anything to say. I just don't see anyone anymore that were involved in this, the bands are all but gone, there aren't any shows I really want to see aside from a few pix adjacent bands. I know the queer poc scene is a thing and I was involved but it really started to turn into a cool club honestly, and I didn't have the energy to be on either side of the dichotomy. Rich fuckin irony there. Not doing zines now for the same reason. Honestly Erik was a big uniter too in my neck of the woods and could pull a lot of people together and, well, that's that. Folk punk now has been eclipsed by the Johnny hobo-days n daze rips which is fine in doses/part of the whole but I just can't make that my world. So what's there to say? I miss it and I miss you, I miss my exes and my lovers and my friends and roadmates. I've tried other worlds and I get I'm not young anymore and nothing really lasts, but I just can't find something else I feel as good in. Bummer it wasn't REALLY south at the end.
