A couple years ago, I read the book Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azzerrad. I was blown away by all the stories of people who created their own scenes. Who ended up with something where once there was nothing. Whether it was starting a fanzine, booking an all-ages show at a K of C hall, or forming a band and driving across the country in a van, these were all inspiring tales of people doing it themselves. Not waiting around for anybody to tell them it’s okay or to set something up for them. Do it yourself.
