This is a review my brother wrote:
Melvin's at the Ottobar 8-15-08, Baltimore Maryland
We arrived at the Ottobar around 8:30. We were surprised to find that the club was not open.
They did have an upstairs bar however so we went into a back door by the stage. Before walking up the steps we looked in the main club and saw Buzz and Dale talking by the merchandise area.
We went upstairs and had a few National Bohemian beers for $2. The upstairs bar was not crowded at all.
Most likely people don't know it exists. I have seen at least a dozen shows at the Ottobar and didn't know it was there. As we sat upstairs we could hear the band downstairs starting their sound check.
This was at 9:15. I think I sent you a text message to get your ass on over to Baltimore.
We could hear the sound check from upstairs very clearly. They ran through "Civilized Worm" and about two others. We went down stairs and took a picture.
Around 10:00 we headed out of the upstairs bar and around to the front door of the club.
They had just begun letting people inside and a long line had formed down the alley.

Good review from your bro Grim. Why didn't you get to go? I remember you both talking about it in San Fran.
I attended. I was right above Jared on the balcony smooching with the BF most of the night. :lol: Weird guy was next to me who wanted to buy me beer and I chatted up two cute guys at the merch table who just came for Big Biz. Melvins played My Generation by the Who and closed with an awesome droned-out version of Boris. Everything else was really off Nude with Boots
QuoteWe even ran into this guy who told us he named his kid "Melvin, Tool" Nobody believed the fucker until he whipped out a Social Security card and photo.
people are nuts.

A requirement for a pick is close proximity to the stage, or get lucky after the show is over and the lights come up.
You: Hey roady! Can you give me that pick?
Roady: That's not a pick. It's lint.
The Ottobar Poster 2008!

Great shot of a sweat soaked Buzz! Must of been hot as hell in Baltimore that night.
People should share their video's of the Ottobar show with the GrimReaper.
Haha Buzz looks strangely sad in that pic...
Yeah dude that's me! Long brown hair almost all the way to the left of the pic. I look really odd. :shock: Ah well. Thanks for that!

That's Fart Lips for you ;)
One of the best Melvins shows that I have ever seen.
But,the best thing about this show for me was hearing 'The Drift' for the first time ever,LIVE.

Yep, also a really good show and a lot less crowded because there was a D.C. show.
Yeah it was a hell of alot less crowded. You could just wander throughout the place but this year it was full to the brim. I know next time the Melvins come around I'm getting there hella early and getting an even better spot. I was like 20th in line this time around.

this is one of the reasons I miss living in Bmore.

Has anyone here ever heard the term Smib?
Clue:

:lol: Oh man I haven't heard that term in awhile. Almost as bad as Dundalkers.
Some serious Orioles fans in Dundalk.

I don't think the poster will sell for that. I also don't think the Christmas ornament will sell for $120.

You don't think a Melvins poster signed by the whole band is worth a 100 bucks? OK.
There is already someone on this bbs that has contacted me and is interested ,so i don't know what to tell you.
As far as the '93 Atlantic/Melvins promo, I couldn't find one listed anywhere and I would keep it if I wasn't
dangerously close to losing my current job.
If any of my Melvins stuff doesn't sell after these auctions are over I will be more than happy to entertain any offers.
I'm willing to bet she doesn't buy your poster.

no, because every signed poster ive bought was $15. probably the same as what you paid.
but hey, whatever.
do you.
OK, I payed $50 dollars for the Boss Hoss 7'', was it sold at the show for $50, no.
I wanted that 7'' and I bought it for $50, no harm done. :?
And MeddelingCrybaby is posting the new Star Spangled Banner ripped mp3, instead of letting the Melvins & AmRep get their money! [-X

no harm no foul bro. I was just surprised to see it listed for so much.
:lol: Someone trying to flip a poster for 4x the amount a few months after the show is getting self-righteous? Seriously, if someone buys it, fine. You might want to try downloading the mp3s as well.

Yeah I was going to try to talk it down... because like I said in the other thread, it's steep.
