I dunno guys I hear what alot of you are saying and lord knows I have considered selling the dawg many times but I just cannot drag myself away from my truck or some of the really cool people I have met. It's no secret the last 8 years I have not been that involved in the "scene" (aside from talking you guys ear off at the sittin pretti show on the mike) but I still think that we have a decent scene in the NW. Yes it is slowing and there have been some major setbacks, but hang in there it will cycle back. I see a new crop of young bucks. In the meantime all of us older guys need to lead the way for the younger guys and step and take care of things when stuff needs to be done. If you see someone in your club being drunk and stupid chill them out. I agree that the mini scene has gotten out of hand and that is why we are paying the price with losing some of our shows (among other reasons) We have to police ourselves. When throwing a show means fighting the cops and paying huge fines no club is gonna want to throw a 3 day show!
ok Old guy rant done!
