2005 flyer for a folk-punk show at a vacant office space on middle st in Portland. I believe Spoonboy was the instigating artist for this one and the other acts were local/regional folks who @samn thought would be a good match. I remember this show well, although I lost the photos I took.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

1999 Flier for a show at The Fine Arts, during the period where they had all ages punk shows, which I’m told, probably didn’t overlap with them showing pornos. Can anyone confirm? This space would soon turn over into The Skinny and several years later become the new location of Geno’s.

2001 flier for a show at the Warren Memorial Library in Westbrook. I love the idea of a punk show at a library auditorium… I assume it turned out to be too noisy to be a regular thing. But thanks to Ryan M and Katie R for making it happen at least once. Please tell me more about Halo Effect!
