News, everyone! It’s been waaaaaaaay too long since I’ve posted an update with the project, but now I can: I’m starting the layout for book/pamphlet/zine thing that I mentioned wanting to do way back in January. I’ll be inserting each interview that I do chronologically (because that’s just easier for me) into the inDesign doc … Continue reading »
Happy May Day!
I think the last time I left y’all was back in mid-March. I apologize for the neglectful way in which I’ve treated this site. Down-time is understandable – as I explained in the last update (written on March 5! Fuck!), I’ve had a lethal combination of work and school constricting my ability to work on … Continue reading »
Interview #1 (Final): Nadia Finley
This interview was conducted on Monday, Jan. 16, 2012 at Finley’s home in Edmond. The interview has been edited for speech-to-text grammar/readability and minimal content. The views of the interviewee are their own*. “I don’t want to be what you want me to be?” Not to say that you are, in fact, punk for saying that, but isn’t … Continue reading »
Update
Hi everyone. I’m back after a “month off.” Here’s what a month off constitutes: Meeting deadlines every Tuesday and Friday for the Vista, attending classes and keeping up with all of the homework, and help organize a protest at the State Capitol. Because of that “month off” that wasn’t really a month off, I haven’t … Continue reading »

Short Update
What a day. Shortly after the first part with Nadia went live at 8:00 p.m. CST yesterday, the responses started pouring in. Some were good, some – not so good. My copy editor on the UCO Vista thought it was an excellent interview, and I’ve seen Twitter posts claiming that this is a prime example … Continue reading »

Project Update
Hi everybody, here’s just a quick update on the progress of the project. First off, I just want to say I’m amazed and humbled at how receptive and supportive everyone has been so far. I’ve heard nothing (well, almost nothing) but good things from people, about how they were excited to see what happens with … Continue reading »
Short post: FIRST INTERVIEW DONE!
So in a random thing, I got the first interview of the project done! It’ll be up as soon as I can get it transcribed (and it’s an hour long, so it may be a while). I will keep y’all updated on my progress with that as I get more done. Until next time, Trevor … Continue reading »
Some more info on the project
I’ve had the idea to do a story – or series of them – on “feminism”/females in local punk/hardcore for about two years. After my initial (failed) attempt to do this story back in mid-2010, I’ve had the chance to a) let my politics settle down and b) observe the attitudes, trends and situations of … Continue reading »
