That's cool what you guys are doing and I wish you luck in the coming months but the comment about AYP is pretty unreasonable to say the least...talking shit is no way to go about what you wanna do...I've been going down there for the last 6 years maybe and have watched the store grow a lot bigger but along with the bigger business and the higher profits I've watched friends and other people I know get chances and jobs working there that actually pay a decent wage...most recently a friend of mine who had close to nowhere to turn get a chance to pay his bills...i would love to know this "dark side" of AYP?..what is wrong with a place that every local band I have known could take merch there and have it sold and get that name out...not to mention all the indie distros/labels that could have their stuff sold at the intended price...import cds $3-$4 cheaper than anywhere else i've ever been...same with records...actually most every damn thing in the store is almost as cheap as if you were at a show and you bought something right off your favorite bands table...i could think of another store down in lancaster with ties to the punk scene who have raised prices over the last few years to rival mall stores that I don't really shop from anymore it's really not worth mentioning...I feel bad for kids who live in places without indie stores that they can go and get flyers,check out local bands,listen to new stuff, and be around other people who are a part of the scene
which is a void that you guys could definately fill...
...an online distro kind of takes away any personal relationship of any kind...I would look forward to seeing a "Berzerker table" at upcoming shows and again good luck with everything...
