Dispatches: SF BAY GUARDIAN, SEATTLE STRANGER, CLEVELAND SOMETHING STUFF

A lot of this stuff is unbearable. Not all of it but some of these ... yeesh. Lemme just say that time has not been kind to my apparent F-word fixation, total disregard for factual accuracy and decidedly sketchy understanding of what I was writing about, almost all the time. In these years (2001 - 2007), I never read anything I wrote. I just sent it off and waited for the check. I took this weird joy in being wrong, ticking off the people I was desperately trying to impress. Looking back, a little fact-checking, fewer totally unnecessary cuss words and less use of "rock" as a verb wouldn't have hurt. Ugh. There's just so goddamn much, I want it all in one place. Learning to write takes forever (obviously) so the later stuff is way better. But maybe don't read these. I'm just parking them because some weird part of me needs to.

I didn't know what metalcore was when I wrote this. agh. please forgive me and don't let it ruin the whole thing [wait -- it's a year later and I just realized that "high-energy metalcore" was totally a joke -- "high-energy" ? , ! -- and the miscategorization had to be intentional, meant to piss "experts" off. I used to do that].)
