People that are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old, music is their life. And the idea that they can’t go see a band because they’re not old enough just doesn’t make any sense at all. To me, playing a show where people under the age of eighteen or under the age of twenty one are not allowed in is the same thing as not allowing women in, or Asians. It’s a significant part of the population that’s been ruled out for what reason? I’ve never played a show, knowingly at least, that wasn’t all ages. Music is for all people, that’s clear. And I don’t know why other people would ever accept conditions that were set by an industry as insidious as the alcohol industry. Why is music treated as a sideline to a party? To just getting fucked up, I just don’t understand it.

Love ian
how many childhood or teenage-hood friends do you still hang out with on a semi-regular basis? can you count em on one hand like me?
i have a few so i’m feeling pretty lucky right about now.
belated BDAY dinner for our friend Ajax tonight!
As some of you may know my best friend was diagnosed a few years ago with Multiple Sclerosis. I’ll avoid all the sappy details but needless to say it’s horrible. I’m selling the skeleton iron ons and all profits will go to the National MS Society.
Ready to Iron-On ribcage and arm bones.
Steps:
1. Find a piece of clothing you’d like to use. Make sure it can be ironed or it won’t work and you’ll ruin the clothing.
2. Peel off backing on bones.
3. Place the bones ADHESIVE SIDE DOWN.
5. Place damp cloth over bones and iron for 30 seconds. Once cooled check to make sure they stuck, if not iron again.If fabric has a lot of stretch this may prevent them from staying. When you put it on it will pull at the adhesion so just keep that in mind when choosing your piece of clothing.
Look rad and give to a good cause at the same time. Win win situation.
