And you were in student housing?
So the first year I was in student housing.
And then the next year I lived in a vegan co-op, typical for a straight edge hardcore kid.
Yeah, that's another interesting dichotomy because I'm living in Isla Vista with the party capital.
One of the biggest party schools because of Isla Vista in the United States.
And I'm straight edge, like no drugs, no drinking.
But there's a really small but strong and present straight edge hardcore scene in Isla Vista, Santa Barbara.
that the whole hardcore community knew about.
Mainly because of this label zine distribution company called Ebulation and Heart Attack.
They're publishing their zine from there and they had a record label that was putting out all of those kinds of bands from there.
So when I went to school there, I was more excited to be close to this label.
To be going to school at UCSB.
Actually, that was the most excited kid in me.
