General / I loved this article about Thi...

Pcola was my first real punk stomping grounds around this time. I was never superfriends with most people but I dated a 309er, went to the shows, rode around the city, went to the scant protests and learned about vegan food and diy and anarchism. The Pcola punk scene probably ruined my life and I thank the void every day for that. I also would eventually do all this other places with other people in this scene, making the breakdown of things later very very upsetting and difficult. But this isn't about that-, this is just a bittersweet article that does not get into scene drama, just living and changing and taking the good with the bad.

Last week I met up with an old PIX regular who was visiting Florida. Never would have thought at 16 that I'd still be hanging with people from this message board at 30.

Last post by failure - January 11, 2019, 02:24:25 PMOh yeah the Champagne Room! Was that the semi-locked area with links for downloads and stuff that you had have a certain amount of points/reps to go into?
Yes I believe his name was Peter! I never really interacted with him much but I've always loved that tattoo.
I toured with Russ Substance in 2006 (and by tour I mean he asked me to drive him around for 3-4 weeks for his US tour until he ditched me in Texas to go hang out with a girl in California). I was able to meet a few folks from the way old boards and some cool band members. Got to stay at a house in Berkeley for like 4 days with Ryan Harvey and Mark Gunnery which was cool. Stayed with Michael Throwaways in Van Nuys. Hung out with some of the folks from Defiance, OH for a day. Some amazing memories that have came flooding back since reading this board!
I still follow some of the bands... mostly No Idea or bands that would play the Fest. Matt Tobey recently released something too that I've been meaning to check out.

Last post by Joe - January 11, 2019, 01:23:54 PMA lot of the musicians are still playing music, too. Some folks from The Door-Keys and Future Virgins released an album in 2018 under the band name Evening Standards. https://letspretendrecords1.bandcamp.com/album/evening-standards-s-t
Maybe we could hire a bounty hunter to track down all the old bands.

Last post by Joe - January 11, 2019, 12:59:51 PMwas it Peter with the lightning bug tattoo? Haven't seen him, Vagroaches, or Ian in a long while. Tague still posts, haven't seen Rainey in a long while, but I think he stuck around longer that the others.
I used to lurk as Dreamy.

Hello all! I doubt any of you remember me from the old PIX days but I was a long time lurker/poster (although I didn't post often). In case I need proof, jer and becca met at Fest 7. Or was it 6? And remember that one dude that took kylewilliam's song and claimed it as his own?
I have lots of fond memories of the board, PIX (and PIX Fest), the Fest, and localish shows. I was kind of in a weird spot... I lived in a remote town in Eastern Washington and had no one to talk to about music. The closest shows for me were 3 hours away in Seattle or Spokane. To this day I don't think I have any friends that listen to the likes of Paul Baribeau or Matty Pop Chart although some like Kimya Dawson because of Juno. The board was a nice place to discover some great music that I still listen to regularly. I went to a total of 6 Fests but haven't been in like 3 years I think? God I love it there but I'm too old and poor that anymore. :/
Anyways, I know this place is pretty much dead but I'm glad I found it. It was nice to get a little nostalgic and look at some threads.
P.S. I'm total out of the loop and had no idea about the whole Chris Clavin thing!
P.P.S. I recognize jer, becca, lindsey, brett (AnnaKarina), kw (are you still making music? I sure hope so!) but I think some others have changed usernames? Is Ian still around? Vagroaches? The Asian dude from Austin with the badass lightning bug in a jar tattoo? Nate Rainey? Tague?

and I just ordered and therefore will be starting soon:
Fatal Deception: The Terrifying True Story of How Asbestos Is Killing America by Michael Bowker
I just had to remove asbestos from my new house, so I'm excited to get pissed and terrified about it.
