We really needed
to create community. So we started getting names of girls and women
who came to our shows and then inviting them
to come to our next gig. Eventually, me and my friend
Allison Wolfe from Bratmobile, we were like, "We're gonna have
a meeting with girl punks." But everyone had
horror stories. It started feeling like, "Hey, you know what people want?
They want support." People started skill-sharing. "Do you want to start a band? Do you want to start a press where we put out
a bunch of fan zines?" Like, "What do you want to do?" Eventually, the meetings became
known as riot grrrl meetings
