What the hell are kids up to these days? Have computers and video games completely muddled their brains yet? It's easy to worry, bitch and moan about them, but the truth is, the kids seem OK.
The latest step in the empowering-youth-through-rock movement is Queer Rock Camp, happening this week in Olympia. It's the first ever do-it-yourself music camp for queer youth. Monday, 31 campers ages 12-21, some from as far away as the East Coast, were divided into eight bands. They took music lessons, wrote songs, practiced and picked names. Tonight at 7:30 p.m. inside the Capitol Theater, they'll make their stage debut, sharing the bill with singer-songwriter/indie inspiration Kimya Dawson.

Koncrete Studios is meant to embody hip-hop, expressing and supporting all of the foundational elements of the culture. Koncrete offers many types of classes in various skill levels, ranging from hip-hop choreography to krumping, pop-locking, isolating and breakdancing. Besides teaching classes, Koncrete hosts events for urban artists to showcase their work to the community. For instance, tonight from 7-11 p.m., Koncrete will host a B-Boy Jam/Cypher including DJ-ing and rapping. To read Kimberly Lahn's full story, click here.
From DIY rock camp to hip-hop choreography, tonight will probably leave you thinking that at least these kids are more than just OK.
