DC punk and hardcore

Wow. My friends, the future is here and this is possibly the greatest use of this here interent thing I’ve ever experienced. Yellow Arrow is a communal, social internet mobile mashup technology, allowing users to create mobile tours, viewable over the internet, but more precisely, mobile phone tours to be conducted in real-time whenever you find an “arrow” in presumably any country that Google Maps covers. To beautifully demonstrate the power of Yellow Arrow, an interactive mobile walking tour and online documentary about the Washington DC punk/hardcore scene was created, where physical and virtual users are able to take the walking tour of where everything happened in DC punk, watching 10 mini-documentaries, featuring interviews with Alec Mackaye, Brendan Canty, Cynthia Connolly, Ian Mackaye, Ian Svenonius, and many many many more who were there when it all began and who graciously share their fondest memories with us.
