Who runs this thing?
DoDIY was founded in 2007 by Neil Campau, who put in countless hours of work for many years to create the expansive resource you see before you. Neil passed the site onto Elliott Giannini in January of 2019. Andy Waldron signed on as the site’s janitor in June of 2019. Elliott keeps the website up to date and Andy helps where needed.
About Elliott
hey! my name is elliott (they/them) & i've been stoked on DoDIY since i first heard about it in 2010. archiving & DIY community are near & dear to my heart, so maintaining this site is a dream come true. my DIY life consists of making zines, maintaining this site, doing various mutual aid things (clean air oly, mask bloc, covid safer events calendar), photographing gigs, organizing a bi-annual punk rock flea market. i like to garden & forage & i have a fairly ridiculous houseplant collection. i'm too organized for punk! i have the spreadsheets to prove it.
my punk rock CV: i've been photographing shows since 2003 & someday i'm gonna put out a photo book. i have a filing cabinet full of flyers from gigs past, & have made more flyers than i can count. i co-organized the olympia zine fest from it's inception in 2015 thru 2018 & i've written pretty ceaselessly about DIY in my own zines since 2011. Do DIY helped me get my start booking shows, which i did with silly frequency & little assistance for 2 solid years before burning out.
i have a website where you can follow the things i do in addition to do diy.
