its late thursday night as i type this from my friend robs apartment in san diego. ive been editing photos almost non stop since i witnessed the greatest hardcore show ive seen in many many years. i saw lots of old friends and watched some of my favorite bands play one last time. this past weekend reminded me that some of us still believe in what made this music so fucking special to us as we grew up and how its still relevant as we continue our lives. thanks to everyone who made this whole magical thing happen. and to think that ill be doing this all over again this weekend in LA is blowing my mind. i feel so honored to be a part of it all. thank you thank you thank you!! here are my favorite images from the show in chicago. i hope they can hold a candle to what went down at the shows.
