.recipes.

the following list is a very partial, enjoyably biased collection of links (or basic contact info)
for groups/projects/nouns which might serve to assist the internet-dwelling, punk-minded
local (or the soon-to-be visitor) of the nonsvch stomping grounds. plan strategically and
leave this place more of a wreck than it already knows itself to be...
