“ I am happy to be alive here in Olympia which is still a thriving punk scene largely unconcerned with trends, careerism and marketability. I just hope the next generation of punks take it seriously. Because what we do can make a difference. We have the power to change things and our actions are connected to history and impact the future. Hopefully you won’t all move to Portland or Brooklyn or whatever when you have your own punk rock mid like crisis at 20 or 25 or 30 or 35… because this is a cool town and it’d be rad if some of you stick around.
