In the late 90s I contributed 40 or 50 posts/articles to washingtonpost.com. These were mostly about upcoming concerts. Reading some of these now makes me cringe, but at the time I took my assignments very seriously. I’d even buy bands’ CDs before writing about them. I think I was paid something like $25 an article, so this was a losing proposition, but it was still fun.

Here are a few sample posts:

• An overview of the Washington, DC ska scene (PDF)
• The Get Up Kids
• The Dance Hall Crashers
• The Velveteens
• And here’s something I wrote about a local bicycle shop
