In this book, residents of 309 narrate the colorful and often comical details of communal life in the crowded and dilapidated house over its 30-year existence. Terry Johnson, Ryan \"Rymodee\" Modee, Gloria Diaz, Skott Cowgill, and others tell of playing in bands including This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb, operating local businesses such as End of the Line Cafe, forming feminist support groups, and creating zines and art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach voice adds to the picture of a lively community that worked together to provide for their own needs while making a positive, lasting impact on their surrounding area. Together, these participants show that punk is more than music and teenage rebellion. It is about alternatives to standard narratives of living, acceptance for the marginalized in a rapidly changing world, and building a sense of family from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluding photos by Cynthia Connolly and Mike Brodie, \u003ci\u003eA Punkhouse in the Deep South\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates many individual lives and creative endeavors that found a home and thrived in one of the oldest continuously inhabited punkhouses in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCometbus, Aaron:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eAaron Cometbus\u003c\/b\u003e has been publishing the zine Cometbus since 1981.
