my third culture
-------------------------------------

1. DIY
------> Just _do_ things, don't wait to do them the "right" way. do them with any means at your disposal
2. Pro-community
------> Spend time with small groups of people in real life on a regular basis.
3. Anti-drug
------> You shouldn't need to spend money on intoxicants to have a good time.

this is what third culture means to me. this is what i want third culture to be. this is the kind of community that I want to play a part in creating. i want to concretely create this through organizing cheap and accessible live music shows.  

these three tenets may seem pretty vague and ill-defined, and that's because they are. but I think trying to stand by them can make a real and significant change in our lives if I make a strong enough effort. I think these three things are at complete odds with our society - they are not at odds with PEOPLE. I think people are completely cool with these ideas - but our mass culture has been manipulated to the degree where these very simple, very natural, very human desires are alien and difficult to achieve on any sort of meaningful scale. I think working to create a local music scene that embodies these ideas, no matter how small or fleeting, will be more significant than anything else I could do with my life.
