My friend in #Asheville, NC sent me a photo of my book at Firestorm Books. Happy to see #JamesSpooner’s book, High Desert, right below. It’s a comic about growing up a #biracial #punk in Southern California.

At the zine event I just did, people in the audience had heard of the #AfroPunk festival but never heard of the DIY #documentary that it was named for. Spooner drove around the country back in the early 2000s interviewing #BlackPunk rockers who, at the time, were racially isolated in their respective scenes. This movie changed the entire landscape for everyone but especially Black kids in the punk scene, giving a voice to our various experiences. You can find the video online for free, I believe.
