Editorial Review

All-aged, straight-edged for serious fans only. Now with semblance of (gasp!) order. Secret shows happen, but this is a DIY affair. Emerging underground music (Child Pornography played again recently) pre- getting signed by some guy driving a better car than us. Free fenced parking lot; don't believe the rockheads charging you "to watch your car." Address on Main, but club is West in alley. Look for scathingly cool kids hanging outside of ranchero pit. Always $5 cover.
