It made sense, of course. Punk shows should be held at the skatepark. @timkabara.bsky.social returns to Anything for a Weird Life with RIP AND RUN: A BALTIMORE PUNK ROCK SKATE PARK STORY: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

BRUISER@bruisermag.com · 2mo agoThe beautiful thing about the East Coast is that most bands can be linked to one another through bills, geography, or some odd mix of the two.

May you one day be the one who runs gets the gas can filled so that the generator show can happen 5 hours late so that punk youth can continue to form meaningful connections across subcultural spaces. And may you be cheered by said punk youth as you return. And may they compliment your t-shirt.
