Talk:Kitchener Street

notes to self: expand and section, with a list of significant Kitchener bands, e.g. Alla Zingaro and Runt; full list of Kitchenerstan players - Justine, Barry and Geoff are missing from the early days; what happens after 24 gets sold, 7a disintegrates, Sandra and also Thames st moves to the other side of Boundary Rd, Martin moves away and then returns, Sandra is replaced by John, Malcolm and later Mark move away and younguns take over (with resulting loss of the 'Kitchenerstan' vibe); anyone remember the OLD days of 21 to elaborate on that? --Petrajane 06:58, 12 April 2006 (BST)

I've been to a few parties on Kitchener. Upon seeing this article, i didn't think a single street would justify having an entire article to itself, but woah, I was proved wrong. How the hell do you remember all this Petra? You gossip queen you. just try and keep it organised and not too impenetrable :p --Danduran 08:56, 12 April 2006 (BST)

Nothing and noone in Kitchenerstan is impenetrable - that's the bloody problem! Maybe Mark T could contribute a history of 20K's sunporch? And yeah it's gonna take me a bit of time and a few nudges to Mark Servian (he's just moved back to the hood, next to St. Aidan's) for reminders while i get it all braindumped and organised. you know i've been here since Easter 2001 and still managed to move up the flats in ascending order!--Petrajane 10:23, 12 April 2006 (BST)

question: is there a Places-Stub thingee? Can someone who knows how make one? I suppose this isn't really a venue per se.

I think this is skirting the margins of what should go in here; it's interesting that a number of musicians have lived in the street, but should we be able to read about their private lives i.e who lived with who etc? - geoff

Yes, absolutely we should. It's very important to know who got chlamydia from whom. - Roz

Prevention is the best cure, is that it? - Geoff

My opinion is that this page (Kitchener St) is pointless, as is the Mem' Drive page. I dont think it serves any purpose other than as an in-joke for a select few. And it is written so badly - if i was to stay it needs a rewrite, but as i think it is all pointess anyway im not going to put the effort into it! I would be happy to see it deleted - thedugganaut. (PS, Im really enjoying your contributions/alterations Geoff.... I have agreed with everything you have done - all very sensible and worthwhile)

Well, I don't think that the page itself is entirely pointless. It's nice to think that there are some geographical areas of significance. And some analysis of why they are significant is good. But do we really need a blow - by - blow (!) account of every single coming and going in these few flats? I would object strongly to anyone publishing my current or past address, and my current or past flatmates. So I am going to edit this page - OK? - Geoff

Definitely edit it! - (oh... you already have...). - thedugganaut.

"An example of Hamilton's pervasive forces of Psychic Geography, Kitchener Street has probably impacted upon every band in Hamilton music history in some way." - this still seems like absolute rubbish to me... I'm sure in reality it has "impacted" only a small proportion of Hamilton bands. Even after Geoff's editing Im still not seeing any real reson for this page to exist (??) - thedugganaut
