🖤A little late, but we wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU🖤

What a weekend. What a first half of the year.

When Joyce and I started this adventure, we never imagined it would grow this quickly. Between the events, the vendors, the rescues, the friendships, the chaos, and the incredible support from this community, we’ve been able to do some pretty amazing things together.

We’ve helped rescues raise money, connected local businesses with new customers, created spaces where people can be unapologetically themselves, and built a community that means more to us than we can put into words.

That being said… we are TIRED😅

Not complaining one bit. This growth is something we’re incredibly grateful for, but we’ve been running at full speed for months and it’s time for us to take a few weeks to recharge, regroup, and plan what’s next.

If you’re waiting on a response from us, we promise we’re not ignoring you! We will be catching up on messages, emails, applications, and everything else in July.

In the meantime, vendor applications are still available through our Linktree, and we’ll be updating our full event schedule soon… plus adding some new events. 👀🖤

Thank you for supporting Pawsitively Alternative Markets, Alternative Waves, Pawsitively Delicious Treats, our vendors, our rescues, and this wonderfully chaotic community we’ve built together.

We love you guys.

We’ll see you again on August 1st at OSB for our next Metalcore Night. 🤘🖤

Until then…
Stay weird.
Support local.
Pet the dogs.
And keep the chaos alive. 🖤🐾🤘

Today is the day!
🖤 Huge Shoutout to *The Mill🖤
We couldn’t let Metalcore Night roll in without giving massive love to the place that makes it all possible — The Mill. Their support, their space, and their commitment to uplifting our community are the backbone of this entire event.

Thank you for hosting Metalcore Night at The Mill and for showing up for local small business vendors, giving them a place to shine, connect, and grow. Your dedication to community-driven events keeps the scene alive and thriving.

And most importantly — thank you for standing with us as we raise funds for US Dog Coalition & Rescue. Your support helps save lives, build awareness, and bring hope to pups who need it most.

The Mill isn’t just a venue.
It’s a part of this community.
And tonight, we rock because of you.

And a Massive THANK YOU to Everyone Who Filled Our Chaos Bags 🖤
Our Chaos Bags wouldn’t be the chaotic treasure troves they are without the incredible generosity of our local businesses and creators. Thank you to every single one of you who donated, supported, and showed up for this cause.
From gift certificates to Wine & Design from Positively Community,

🖤😭 Well… we have some bad news and some good news.

If you know anything about USPS, you know they absolutely love sending packages on side quests before they reach their final destination. Apparently our Bad Omens shirt decided it wanted to see a little more of the Southeast before coming home.

As of this morning, it’s still bouncing around USPS facilities and is now expected to arrive Monday.

The good news? The Bad Omens shirt is absolutely still up for grabs tonight🎉🖤

The bad news? If you’re the lucky winner, we won’t be able to physically hand it to you tonight because the post office has chosen chaos. 😩

We’ll contact the winner as soon as it arrives and make arrangements to get it to you.

Thank you all for rolling with the chaos with us. Trust us, we’re just as bummed as you are. 🖤

USPS, if you’re reading this, please stop taking our shirt on vacation and bring it home. 😭📦

If Metalcore Night is the storm, Alternative Waves is the lightning bolt that makes it hit harder.
Together with Pawsitively Delicious Treats, they’re the heartbeat behind the chaos — the crew that brings the vendors, the vibes, the music, and the mayhem together and somehow makes it look effortless.

From building community, helping local rescues to amplifying every alt, emo, and metalcore moment, Alternative Waves shows up BIG every single time.
Metalcore Night at The Mill wouldn’t be the same without their energy, their hustle, and their love for this scene.

And when the lights drop? DJ DJ Danicus takes over — spinning the tracks you scream to, cry to, and somehow heal to. Expect breakdowns, nostalgia, and chaos wrapped in rhythm.
