Pointfest

And then of course, like in, uh, you know, the later part of the nineties, there were things like the Vans Warped Tour that came into existence.

And, you know, there were local music festivals like Point Fest, uh, curated by a local alternative rock station in St. Louis called 105.7 The Point that I would try to get to as much as I possibly could.

And then I was also seeing, you know, friends bands, you know, perform in basements and garages and so on and so forth.

So that part of my experience was, I think, a little seminal.
