Pinkus Abortion Roll-Call

[glen]

 

hey fucker...     remember:  I have to get my most precious cargo (MYSELF!!!) home that night at a 100 mile drive.

unless..           are you crashing in town?  what is your plan exactly?   FYI:  the alleys of Detroit ARE NOT a lodging option. 

 

and yes, we are hashing out our personal plans right smack dab in the middle of this thread, what of it? 

[Dumpster D]

Yesah...Not much of a Battle Plan, Probly Stay at a Hotel...there's a few, If I get lucky I'll wind up at the same one the band is crashing...unless they have common sense and get the fuck out of Detroit. 



So looks like it's either I stay on my side of the border at a hotel, or Try to book something on yer side of the wall.

And always Remember...Detroit Rock City!!!

The Venue itself is Mexico Town Just a Click over the Bridge...so It's pretty close to the Border.

 would be slick to have a Hotel party if a few people showed.

I've booked my Train ticket, and the Howard Johnson in Windsor for 2 nights.

It was expensive, and a pain in the ass with a stopover in Toronto.

No refund on the Train ticket, not on your life.

I'll be the first person to say this so you can blame me for calling it if it actually goes like this... but all anyone needs now is for something like Dale to wake up on the wrong side of the Bed the morning of the show and stub his toe off the nightstand or something. Show Cancelled...you know?

 

That's how this whole thing is hanging in by kids.

Do you know how much this will cost me so far? are you actually curious?

Two melvins Tickets

$122

Train

$211 (Round trip)

Hotel

$135


Not including beer, food (and beer comes before food) T-shirt or something from the Merch table.

plus maybe Change for something I might buy from a store the day of the show if I make it that far and feel cocky enough to take a stroll through Detroit and see whats up.

Either way, for what the trip is worth to visit a derelict shithole industrial Wasteland like Detroit.. I might as well have seen them in LA or something and flown out there and stayed with a cousin for the week and seen the sights, you know?

Such is not my lot in life, There's a big one with my name on it, It's not going to suck itself.

I'm coming to town on the 13th.  Wish it could have worked out like The Jesus Lizard.

[JUDY]

Dumpy is your hotel in Mexican town? There is loads to do in Detroit and the city has really cleaned up. Unfortunately I doubt you’ll have luck w public transportation (the bus system hardly operates) but you should definitely check out cork town and hamtramck

[Dumpster D]

Doubtful I'll have the time looking at the train schedule, it will be really tight as-is.

I'd love to kick around, if I'm lucky there will be enough time for me to get food and a decent coffee, that's about it.

My hotel is situated not near the venue, it's cross the bridge back in Windsor.

Tell me more about hamtramck and cork town, I'm very unenlightened.

OMG Judy and Brian are no-showing.      I can read between lines. 

and... AND flutter.     so y'all are going to make me solely responsible for the D man?      for real?? 

[glen]

LAST CALL:    we have access to 2 tickets to SOLD OUT Detroit.   I'd rather see them go to a familiar face.    if you're in need get ahold of grim or myself ASAP or sooner. 

[JUDY]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey we still might come. I got a few days to think about it.
I really want to see the Star Wars exhibit before it comes down

[Dumpster D]

Sorry Glen. you're luck never improves...you poor poor man.   

[glen]

ah well... it's why I exist, to clean up the  messes.   I can take it.

[Dumpster D]

Nobody wants to clean up messes Glen, but it has to be done.

But Just remember-  this is not working in porn.

PS> in unrelated news

I found five bucks TWICE in the last two or three weeks, both separate incidences.

plus...Last week I bought a bag of honey mustard pretzel Bits, on the way out of the store I found a Two dollar coin, or as we here In Canada refer to it as a "Toonie" rendered the 3.70 cents bag into a 1.70 bag.

Karma better keep up the good work.

Your luck will change (no pun intended)

 

[glen]

am I supposed to wear like a banana costume or something so I'm identifiable?     or will it just be obvious? 

[Dumpster D]

...follow your nose. 
                                            Just go with the flow.

[glen]

all I know is I'm sitting on brian's shoulders for the MELVINS set.    .....the big tall drink of water that he is.
