Letters to Crucial Changes


Getting actual letters in the mail in 2010 seems quite weird. In today's fast paced world, things are only getting faster with each new breakthrough in technology. Not only has cell phones and the internet with emails and social networking sites made it easier for people to communicate with one another, the personalization and the effort that once went into writing letters is lost. These kind of ways of personal communication can be broken down even further with texting and twits. When I got home from work today I was surprised to see that two readers sent me letters! I feel obligated to give a couple shoutouts:


Thad,
It was cool meeting you at the Wasteoid show a couple weeks back, and I'm glad you like the zine. Your letter was a big surprise. There are always lots of shows always happening at the Ghost House in Lincoln worth checking out. Hope to catch you at one of them. Also, that wasn't me you saw at the basketball game.


Julia,
Thanks for the letter and stickers! It was totally unexpected. Second printing of the zine hasn't been made yet, but I'll make an exception and send you out a zine tomorrow.



Letters from readers are greatly appreciated. Anyone who would like to write to the Crucial Changes HQ, shoot me an email to get the address.

Peace.

Crucial Changes does NOT support social networking sites.


Crucial Changes was created with the idea of covering hardcore, period. Crucial Changes exists online as a way to communicate quickly and not as a means for personal gain. There are many different reasons why I will not upload any of my show photos on a social networking sites. If anyone likes a photograph that I have taken, I ask that you caption it with the blog address if you upload them. Crucial Changes does not shoot photos to boost internet personas. The last thing I want to do is plaster watermarks over every photo uploaded to the blog. Crucial Changes will also continue to remain ad free. Want to directly support Crucial Changes?... contribute to the blog.




I will be at the Signs Of Hope show Sunday, Feb. 14th at the new Hole with only a limited number of zines to sell. I will also be at the Manor on the 20th for a kick ass local show, again only with a limited number of zines. Lincoln don't worry, I'll be down sometime soon. Second printing and mail orders will be available soon and will be $4 ppd. The demand will determine how many copies second printing will be.

That's it for now. Comment freely. Email me if you have any zine questions. Peace.
