I'm not gonna get all sappy about Eastside closing. Enough people have done that. Yes, I used to ride the city bus 2 hours from West Phoenix to go there as a 14 year old. Yes, I learned a lot about Punk there, a musical subculture which has served as near-religion to me since. Yes, when I came back to visit, some 12 years later, they still had copies of obscure East Bay 7"s, that I had lost, still on sale for the original press price. But I'm not gonna get all sappy...enough people have done that.
