- We saw the trailer for the upcoming Runaways film, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning as members of the proto-punk act
- We had word that the Graves-era Misfits are set to open for Danzig at an upcoming show
- Dan Yemin of Paint It Black started a music and parenting blog
- Our buddies in O Pioneers!!! survived a van flip
With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we’ve see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we’ll see you Monday…
