Not a skatepark with a stage, but a community space designed for live music, skateboarding, art shows, record swaps, a library\/bookstore, a recording studio, as well as rehearsal studios and anything else that we feel the need to create. This is a community space like no other, and we&#8217;ve proven that this concept works.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you agree with Water&#8217;s vision of a DIY community, click the link and offer some assistance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/unit-b-a-better-all-ages-diy-underground-venue-for-southern-california\" target=\"_blank\">Indiegogo<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longtime skateboarding and punk rock documentarian and creator Mark Waters is hoping to round up funding to help re-open Orange County, California&#8217;s Unit B.
