approaching a decade

i couldn't really remember what year I got into hardcore. as a skinhead i listened to some crossover, warzone, sick of it all, cro mags, you know standard nyhc type stuff. i distinctly remember amy hong getting me into gorilla biscuits before i had ever stepped foot into an actual hardcore show but with my bad memory i fell short of knowing when it all came together. i still can't remember my first show although i am sort of convinced it was a rts show in wisconsin.

so i went riffling through some pictures to jog my memory but also in an effort to find one in particular for steve kane that highlights his awesome hair dye choices. the oldest picture i had was from a show at the fireside in 1999 which i'm pretty sure was a no justice show...i only scanned things 2001 and before...some from shows...some from social events that have people in them i hardly ever or never see anymore...but i feel as though a lot of what i documented is missing....

then again i do have about 40 rolls of film that have never been developed...i can only imagine the gems in there...
