my first actual punk rock show.
like grannydan i went alone.
the scenes are still vivid in my mind.
the christmas lights the only lighting, the graffiti on the walls and floor, the anarchists newsletters available to all,all ten of our towns punk rockers slam dancing, the strangely familar scent of weed and cheap beer, ah the punk rock life!
i only listened to one band. they looked more like the metalheads of the 80's than punk rockers but they were still pretty good. the lead singer wore dreadlocks to cover up his massive bald spot (which apparently is the punk version of a comb-over) between songs he spoke of very un-punk like things such as supporting the community. over all though it was exactly what i expected.
the highlight of my evening happened when i first arrived. upon arrival i saw a friend of one of my friends with whom i have talked with on brief occasions. it wasnt more than five minutes of small banter before our conversatioin turned to spiritual things. "some christians are just too churchy for me" he said in reference to our mutual friend. i asked him what exactly "churchy" meant and before he could respond we were interuppted. "are you a christian?" i turned to see a young man dressed in very alternative attire, a cigarrete hanging from his mouth. i wasnt sure if this was a friendly qeustion being that traditionally punks are strongly against religion of any kind. i told him i was and we began to talk, we talked for a long time. i would write about our conversation but this entry is far too long already. let me just say that it seems that God has allowed me to experience what i have gone through recently just so i could say "i know exactly what you mean" if anything my hour and a half punk rock show confirmed what God has placed in my heart.
i am called to reach the punk/ alternative culture.
thanks God
