about: earlier this year, por serio productions was working on finding positive punk rock bands to book for the summer to help spread the ideas that punk rock isn't about the recent rise of pretentiousness, apathy, and plain old disrespect for eachother that has been becoming more and more the norm in the punk rock scene. well, they ended up with a few bands all wanting to play within the week of june 16th, so they decided to book everyone together on one day and make it a big ol' fest. as time went on more and more ideas began flowing in and it became a community project, with people throughout the community all taking part in the construction of GA!. all of the money raised will pay for the cost of materials, and to pay the bands, since its a heck of a long drive to come here from anywhere outside of albuquerque.
if you would like to help out in any way, ideas, you got a skill you wanna teach to others, physical labor, backrubs, you gotta band that wants to play, you wanna dump all your unused cash on me, anything, email killtoimpress@aol.com
