Early thoughts

Anxious about Saturday... up since 2:30... I need some soothing tunes.

The idea behind "Okie Dope", something I'm still struggling to articulate, is to share good music with like minded people. Through that, I'm hoping to inspire/ empower folks to work together to put on shows they'd like to see, maybe release some records... you know make our local scene a little richer through a mentality that's more "Do It Ourselves" than "Do It Yourself". The DIY ethic is great, but I think that it can lead to a lot of cool stuff never getting done. By working DIO, you get to feed off of your friends' enthusiasm, collaborate, argue, be held accountable, share the burden... share the rewards- it's more fun that way.  But enough preaching.

Anyway, keep your eye on this spot, our twitter feed www.twitter.com/okiedope and soon website/blog blah for what will be more (hopefully) good things.  And spread the word.

Now for those soothing tunes
