Yeah, suburbs here. There's basically no writers around here... The only "writers" are some (apparently) young kids that just paint terribly done black letters on power boxes, etc. Then there's the neighboring town's high school seniors that come to our school/town and write the name of their school on places. (Looks like shit and gets buffed within a day thankfully.) And finally, some kids with some decent handstyles that only write in tiny markers on the back of signs, barely noticeable. Ugh... at least a little diversity would be nice.
My city is small but the citys next to us are huge like LA and Universal City. Everyone here has a name but arent nearly as dedicated to writing. You hardly ever see the same tag up twice and the only pieces and bombs are under bridges and underground near water towers. their are two highschools in my city and of the two highschools makes up a total of 1 Krew which is the one Im in. Theirs another krew in my school but they all live in another city next door and pretty much never hit up the city i live in. So we pretty much own the whole city. But even in our krew their are only 2 or maybe 3 dedicated writers who go up around putting their shit up (1 being me)
Just a question to the smaller town guys out there. How do you get to your spots if there is no public transportation in your area? Walk? Skate? Bike? How far are you willing to go? If you drive a car that's cool too, but I always follow the rule of not mixing graff runs with cars.
to answer your question i walk everyday. probably 6 or 7 miles a day back and forth from the yard...my city that i live in currently is only about 40000 i think so its pretty small.but as far as driving its not so bad just park a few blocks away from where ever and dont get followed to your car.the farthest ive ever walked in a day was probably 12 miles.4 miles one way.4 miles back.then 4 miles the other way becuase i forgot someting and ended up running into some cats who gave me a ride.
i live in a small town n it sucks. u cant go bombing cause everyone will find out who u are, n then da po po's will be knockin on ya door. ya hear? fuckin bullshit.
i am from a small town few writers i dont care though so manny nice spots all for me, im not just going to stop writing just from were im from, cause when i do move ill have some good experience to fuck shit up
Word, don't fucking hit the burbs, a very easy way to get caught, just got to the biggest city nearby, or just dont fucking do it, your not a pussy for not tagging a local business or hitting someones fucking house with your already wack shit. Downtown Dallas <3

I try to write here where i just moved but the pigs are hotter in my area than where i used to live and they don't have alley ways here, sucks hot balls but there is a old run down industrial area where i can get up and practice, it's a high crime spot where pigs don't go
Small Town Is Last.fm set up to connect to the internet properly? When I moved to Uni I had to configure it to work with the proxy server, no idea if thats your case but your new computer might have different settings or something... I dont know. Just a suggestion.
