Also, that looks nothing like Zack Galifhoweverthefuckyouspellit either. Not sure who the dude is, but it's definitely not him.

Right on. There are a few really great spots for Polski food in Hamtramck. You went to the second or third best 

This thread is getting off track, but what place would you recommend to go to in that area? Seems like the Melvins are going to keep playing there so I might as well start checking out the restaurants in the area. It came down to the Polish Village or Polonia with me deciding on the Polish Village.

"97.3 percent of what I see out here consists of the inside of our van, fields of corn, backed-up traffic, and the bowels of rock clubs — usually just the dressing room and the stage. If there is a decent bathroom backstage I may not even leave the dressing room all night. That's what happened last night in Detroit. It was cold in a crappy neighborhood and just the thought of moving seemed uncomfortable. So after load-in I made a sandwich with turkey and salami, sliced up some tomato with a plastic spoon, kicked aside an empty mouse trap and sat down for a lovely one-course meal in an unkempt, dusty "green room." A pit bull yelped in the distance. A side of chips and salsa rounded up my carb intake. My doctor says I need more salt and carbs in my diet so I pile that stuff on whenever I can."
-Trevor Dunn

Dang, even Trevor is piling on.  Hamtramck isn't even in the top 10 of Detroit's crappy neighborhoods.  and cold? I think "brisk" is a much better way to describe that evening.   

All things considered, Detroit is pretty large... so yeah, Hammytrammy is definitely not the worst of it. Still, there's no denying that it's a shitty neighborhood. Cold? Hardly. Try Harpos, Melvins! Ever see a guy laying in his own filth and blood at a show? Then surely, you've never been to Harpos. (kidding! Please! Don't ever go to Harpos!)

By the way, it was Trevor that wrote that article. I had a gut feeling I was going to read something along those lines. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel my heart sink into my feet for a second when I read that paragraph, but hey... it was half expected..

My studio area (soon to be former studio area) is right behind the second photo shown in the article.

I wonder what they had for dinner. Polski food, I should hope!!!

Agreed on all points. Hamtramck is definitely not even close to being the worst part of Detroit. Sure, it's not great, but it's not all that bad either. Now Harper Avenue is a different story. If the Melvins decided to play Harpos I honestly would probably would skip it, and that is normally not even a consideration when the Melvins come to Michigan.

My buddy and I hit this place up before the show because I have been wanting to try it forever. I was not disappointed!

So I read on the AmRep board that there was no Bulls & Bees or 1983 vinyl at the Boise or Missoula shows. So...out of the good stuff after only three shows. Hopefully they restock at some point but if they don't, FUCKING LAME.

Thanks Jules, ya fucking merch hog!!!!

For sure...

beerdestroyer is coming with me and he just recently broke his neck in a bad car accident. He will be there wearing a halo and all. Now if that isn't dedication, I don't what is...

holy shit dude, awesome!!

so I shouldn't ask if I can sit on his shoulders?   

but anyway... when I see him, and I thinks it will be pretty obvious who he is, I'm going to shout out "BEER DESTROYER!!!".

Yeah, we will be the dudes hanging towards the back just in case any idiots want to start moshing during the show. We will definitely be easy to spot, so anyone is welcome to stop and say hello.

And beerdestroyer would appreciate the shout out, especially seeing he wouldn't even be expecting it. If anyone wants to see someone down a full beer no matter the size (it's got to be in a cup though) in a matter of a second, just hand him one. Dude is an animal when it comes to slamming beer

So, you would say he destroys it?

Something like that...no beer is safe in his presence
