Yall... Halloween was incredible. We collectively raised $730 for the
@thesameerproject and donated $660 from ticket sales and raffle tickets!!
Norfolk has been showing up for hc, and that's everything I've hoped for.
I'm doing my absolute best to make a space here for people who have gone against the grain, and so far, every show has been so, so worth it.
Many nya:węh's:
Thank you to Qwan, Vile Decree, Death Perception, The Drafted, and Backbone for making the trip out to play.
Thank you to
@swamp.pup for not only hosting the raffle, but also for donating prints for the raffle, and for being a massive motivator/resource/support through the planning and execution of this event. They have many years of community organizing under their belt, and it means the absolute world that they had a hand in this.
Thank you to
@paytonr.m for being there in spirit. If not for Payton, I might not have made such a point to put Norfolk on the map.
Thank you
@norfolkagsociety for letting us host these shows at the JFB. Them believing in us, and in me, gives me such high hopes for this county.
Thank you to
@footfairyflip for being a day 1 homie and helping tie up loose ends at my events.
Thank you to
@thegrandmarketsimcoe for trusting me to host this event in the name of the people of Palestine; of Gaza. I'm honoured that we were able to connect from this event.
Thank you to my mom
@ellemckeil for hosting touring musicians while they're here from out of town. Not many people can say their parents are rad as hell, but I'm fortunate to be one of those people.
Lots of things make me question continuing my involvement in hardcore, but shows like this make me so happy. They revive my motivation and drive to build community and be in-your-face.
I love having a home base. I love Norfolk County.
That's it for this year. See you super soon, though 🫡
Also shout out to
@winnietbh for being the best photographer on this side of southern ontario?? God dang.
