Secrets Revealed
In addition to getting married, having a baby, and raising an eight year old, I have been busily working on curating a multimedia exhibit which documents and celebrates the punk music scene in my hometown, Cedar Falls, Iowa. The exhibit, called “The Secret History of the Cedar Valley” will open March 17, 2007 at the art gallery at Wartburg College. So far, the exhibit has a website, a blog, and a Wikipedia-style History Site.
Some of the Wiki entries are pretty interesting. Take a look at bands like No Consensus or venues like Dean’s Parkade Lounge.

Fun stuff! Wish I could go. Golly, I know I skimmed over a great many of those scene reports in MRR (I think I beelined it for the letters from readers, band interviews and then — can’t remember for the life of me.) but wouldn’t doubt if I read an Iowa recap — perhaps with a mention of one of your zines — during this time frame. (My subscription ran ‘87-90 and I picked up the occasional issue a year previous to and after that.) Looking forward to seeing some more highlights.
