Pancakes and punk
How about some bacon with that mohawk? This Sat., Aug 24, one of Durango’s beloved but alas short-lived underground traditions of yore returns. Punk Rock Breakfast moshes into J. Bo’s starting at 9 a.m.
The event, which old schoolers may recall from its Storyville and Thirteens heyday, was resurrected by local woman, Ann Potter. This will be the third PRB (not to be confused with PBR, of which many will likely be consumed) she has put on. Proceeds from this Saturday’s rendition will benefit the Cody Project, a local group that works to prevent teen and youth suicide.
Bands include Molly Nixons, Profetic Calaveras, Hardly Cant’s, Timothy Hallow and Q&A.

Over a decade ago, Luke Mehall drove The Freedom Mobile, a tattered and graffitied 1988 Mazda, to Durango with hopes of making a fresh start. His only “professional” contact were the editors of this fine newspaper, who offered a hundred bucks for a freelance story.
