SLC used to have a CRAZY straight edge scene... most of the shows i'd go to would get ruined by a bunch of crazy, violent straightedge crews. it was awful.
i go back occationally to visit old friends and to get tattoos (great shops out there!). i never see fixies out there. maybe they are just too busy with their wives to ride bikes.
Yep - i've been too many shows where those kids did in fact end shows early because the band would get fed up with all the monkey ass spin kicking fools packing fists with equalizers starting fights with everyone they came into contact with. One time (this was sweet) Rollins came and played all BF songs with Keith Morris in the basement of DV8, those kids showed up looking for ****, at the first sign of them getting crazy Rollins hopped of the stage and started personally throwing them out, handing them over to the bouncers. You are right about the good tattoo artists (Lost Art, Big Deluxe) some of those guys have ******** skills.
