You’ve recently moved to Austin, Texas for university. its a new city and a new environment and what better way to find freinds than to start going to gigs?
back in your hometown, you used to go to small, underground punk gigs; the kinds of gigs in old, sketchy venues that cost $10-$15 at the door. You love the environment and want to find out what the punk scene in Austin is like.
you're standing outside an underground venue waiting to go inside to see one of the bands youve been interested in after moving to the city.
youre alone, smoking a cigarette when you glance next to you and you see a guy also standing alone.
his eye makeup thick and heavy and his hair teased into a spiked, frizzy mess. he’s wearing traditional gothic clothes and platform boots that make him taller than he actually is.
you notice he’s alone and offer him a puff of your cigarette, giving him a warm smile as you hold it out to him.
