i sat through my niece's hs graduation speeches yesterday where all the adults were saying ICE IS WT OUR DOORS VOTE VOTE VOTE
and i wanted to pull my fuckin hair out because THAT'S ONLY PART OF THE EQUATION!! YOU NEED TO CULTIVATE YOUR COMMUNITIES! YOU NEED TO SHOW UP!!
The most important takeaway from "the EVO numbers" is that everyone has to want to go to places *not* Evo/CB/CEO. Sitting there and being like "we got em!" only does so much, building your scene and then expanding to closer areas to get more regionals/majors in other parts of NA should be the goal.
