Title: The Melvins gig in Philly.
Post by: Lividity on October 25, 2005, 02:40:26 PM
Anyone gonna be there? It's at that church basement. I'll probably be wearing a Simpsons shirt for Buzz....

I don't know about tickets though, my mom tried to get them but she tried at the last minute and they were out, supposingly. But this guy that's been to that place before says that there might still be tickets there. Or something. I don't remember very well.

Anyway, me and my mom are coming, regardless of tickets. If we don't get any we'll try to catch them out the front door when they leave or something.

I thought that was funny reading it while looking at your avatar. It looks like you're in 3rd grade or something and your mom is taking you, ha-ha.

Hey man, Burnt Bride posts here sometimes and she sent this bulletin on her MySpace acct.

I got 2 extra tickets for the Melvins with Jello Biafra This wednesday, the 26th at THE FIRST UNITARIAN CHURCH!!!!!! this is the smallest venue on the tour and the show is going to be absolutley INSANE...the Melvins will be playing their own full set and then will be joined with Jello for a set of the Jelvins stuff!! This show is completley sold out!! anyone interested give me a heads up...

I let her know that I would post this so maybe she can help you w/ tickets! Good luck and if you make it to the show please record it somehow!

Sweet, man! Thanks for the help.

Oh yeah, as for the avatars. Thanks, haha. I actually am pretty young for a Melvins fan.

And if you need to give me additional info regarding how to get the tickets, post them tommorrow. I'll read that when I get home then dart out the door because I probably won't have that much time. This would be so much easier without that huge 7-hour torture session called 'school' blocking up my plans.

Again, thanks a lot man.

Oh. This is probably the 34623412nd time I edited this, but my mom insisted that we buy the tickets off Bride, so I guess that's what we're doing. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Her name is Shannon on MySpace. Hopefully I'll get a reply from her if she doesn't post here.
Sorry it's so late to try and coordinate this, hope it works out for you.

shit man...Someone else already called dibs on them :( ...but it's early on in the day...I'll contact him and see how serious he is and how to arrange getting the tickets to him...otherwise they're yours, and not to rub it in or anything, but they're completely sold out, they don't sell additional tickets at the door...But I'll post as soon as I hear anything, or if I hear of anyone else that has tickets.

yeah, the person I promised the tickets too is taking them,...I wish I would've been able to help someone out from the board though :(   are you still planning on going down there though?
Title: Re: The Melvins gig in Philly tommorrow.
Post by: Lividity on October 26, 2005, 02:05:18 PM
Yeah, I'm still going whether or not we have tickets.

Yeah, I'm Tommy, I'll be that kid wearing a Simpsons shirt with Homer on it saying "I Hope I Didn't Brain My Damage". I'll also have my mom with me.

Thanks for trying to help.

Title: Re: The Melvins gig in Philly tommorrow.
Post by: Lividity on October 26, 2005, 02:19:27 PM
I dunno, I'll check really quick. I'll probably be back on here in a few minutes to let you know.

All right. We're going now. We'll be there to try to catch a few soundchecks, and we'll probably stay there.

See ya there.

Wonder if Lividity and his Mom made it in?

I wanted desperately to help him out. Reminded me of when my Dad took me to see Black Flag in 1984!

Haha, thanks Bride. It was nice seeing you guys there.

Yeah, we got in and I loved every moment of it. "Let It All Be" and "Night Goat" were definitely highlights, not to mention the 10-minute hellish noisefest at the beginning, courtesy of Dave Scott Stone. I even met the band earlier. Dale met us first, then Dave, then Buzzo. They were all cool, as expected. Dale slayed on the drums (she claims he snuck a few glances at her in the Mel-van...hahaha). Even my mom was blown away. I even bought "Pigs Of The Roman Empire" on vinyl! It was just unbelievably awesome. The music was so loud I had a headache on the ride home, but it was worth it.

And Anaconda. Haha, Ishkabibble's. I never even heard of that place.

Much thanks to Dub and Bride.

Thanks to all you guys for the best night ever.

thats really nice, complete strangers with one common interest , helping each other.

did the melvins get you in? (lividivity)

Post by: Lividity on October 27, 2005, 08:23:54 PM
Yeah, surprisingly. Dave Scott Stone just walked up to us and said he was going to put us on some list, and it turns out that if we just said our names to the people that collect our tickets, they'd see our name on that list and let us in.
