Hey, I lived in Frederick for quite a while...
do you remember when that guy got killed with a machete outside the apartments behind the mall (not FSK the other mall)... yeah, that happened 20 feet from my bedroom window... ack!
same age, hmph.. Id be surprised if we dont know some of the same people...its been a few years since I've been back there but... I was pretty involved with the scene when I lived there... and I knew a bunch of the local skaters...
you referred to pittsburgh as "a creative consulate of progressive thought". i'd love to think it still is...but it's tough. i tell touring bands to avoid pittsburgh at all costs, actually.
my guys are currently on the road...and hope to stay there.
i hate to be pessimistic....but a lot of things need to change here for pittsburgh to get back to general respectability. there always has been and always will be a talented underground, though.
i'm currently streaming nova express. is that you?
