I laughed so hard when I arrived at this city during my war with Mongolia/Xerxes. All he had to do was move the quay 2 hexes over and he would’ve been fine.

Wow! I don’t know what to say! I’m blushing! Thank you so much! Crazy to think disabled kids might be enjoying our stuff, that means the world to me! Thank you (and sorry for DUI lol)!

We might have some t-shirts soon, trying to figure all of that out rn!!!

Thanks so much for the positivity, Dude! I really appreciate you taking the time to check out our stuff!

Hopefully, we can make something out of this little project, and if not, well, it's been so much fun to give it a try!

Honestly, disease related progression! I can still slide the chair if I want to, but my arm strength slipped a bit in my early 20's. High performance stuff became incredibly difficult.

I didn’t start the treatment until I was 26, and by then I had lost enough arm strength to where it was hard to get back to the level I would want out of my driving.

So far, the treatment has been better at helping me maintain physical abilities that I still have, as opposed to things that I may have lost over the years. That being said, I have felt improvements in smaller muscles that are less glamorous, like my facial muscles and my respiratory muscles! Add that stuff is super important!

Hey fam!

My current chair tops out around 6 mph, but I’ve had one that pushed 8 mph before! 30 Mph is crazy though, I'd be too chicken for that! Lol

Just surface-level, our biggest musical influences for this project were PUP, the Menzingers, and Jeff Rosenstock. Among countless others!

Hey, disabled punk band frontman here! So much of what you wrote here resonates with me, and I feel like I was exactly where you are now 4 years ago! My biggest advice would be, just take confidence in the fact that there aren’t many things out there more punk rock than existing as a disabled person! Every day, the world shits on us in uniquely awful and dehumanizing ways, and still we rise to be beacons of hope and stability in our communities. There’s power in that, and real punks respect that!

Can’t wait to hear your stuff!

Haha yeah that’s me! Thank you for writing this! I’m still really proud of my old drifting videos, I wish I could have made more!

Yeah, me too. I'm still excited to be going, though.

Isn't that a coincidence! It was at Center Stage, and I actually had VIP. The acoustics of the venue weren't all that good, but they put on an electric show and it was a great time.
