I'm sick and tired of seeing the LA scene, the DC scene, all those crappy scenes on the Internet. It's time for St. Louis! We had a great scene and great bands, just not enough money to make ourselves famous. We were juvenile delinquents, artists, angry young men, self-cutting girls -- brilliant, stupid, fucked up, creative, self-destructive, lazy, disturbed, and more. Some of us are really happy now, and some of us are dead; some haven't changed and some are unrecognizable. I've very proud and grateful to have been part of St. Louis punk before Nirvana, when there was a real social cost, a real risk, when punk was still a bunch of freaks.

Most of these photos are by Dane Marti, Sean Haley and Krissy Buchman. Thanks to them both for their, ahem, permission.

If you were really active in the St. Louis scene, but don't see yourself here? Well, you should have hung out with Krissy, Sean and Dane more. There aren't any good photos of me, but there are good photos of shows I put on.

I threw this together in about 2 hours, and plan to re-edit. That's why some photos appear twice! So, let me know if you have some ideas or info for captions, etc.
