Bandana and Face Mask up on Blixt.

https://blixtmerchandise.shop/the-melvins

I just ordered this combo. Couldn't pass up a bandana, and we'll, thought I might as well throw in a mask since my state just mandated it.

The Fort Collins show was 10x better than the Denver show the month prior. Mostly because the power didn't go off 3 songs into Spotlights, and we didn't have to wait 2 hrs for the show to resume. They rushed through that show, playing faster and louder than I've ever seen them before. I had to experience them again in FC.
I immediately saw DC, probably the tallest and most handsome guy there. But alas, I'm now hitched, and DC can't grow a beard. 
This show was wayyyyy better! They definitely played differently than in Denver. Maybe it was because Buzz had on a different Mumu, or Dale playing in tip top shape. They played well, and the crowd ate it up! Now off to see Boris tonight - last time they were scheduled to play, the show got cancelled due to illness. It's been 5+ years since last time I experienced their awesomeness.

I'm gonna try to hit the Ft. Collins show at the end of the tour too, but not 100% sure.

Great show! It's been a few years since I last seen em, so my expectations were high. They didn't disappoint at all. Zumi got there in the nick of time. I had a crystal clear view sitting next to Hanz in the balcony. I'm excited to see the footage he got.  Too bad DC tried to break his spare camera by putting his cock into the battery slot!
Every song sounded perfect tonight, and although they seemed to zoom thru the set list, I wasn't left unfulfilled at the end. I think Youth of America was my favorite jam of the night. But Rebel Girl almost brought a tear to my eye by how fierce Teri was. I love that chick's energy and zany stage antics.
Overall, I enjoyed every moment, even the silly power point presentation that kicked off the show.
Got a damn parking ticket though. Oh well, the $25 ticket was well worth it.
Safe travels home, Ryan!

Sadly, I am not going to be seeing the Melvins on this tour.  They hate Colorado for some reason this time around.  But if you'd like to make me feel better about it, Meez, buy me one of those posters out there, and I'll paypal you back. 

A smile like that shows this man lived a great life! RIP Smellis!

I will never understand why the good ones are taken from this world so soon. Smellis was a stand up guy, never heard anything bad about him on the board. Had the awesome opportunity to meet him at the 25th Anniversary show. Cheers to Smellis! May the Melvins dedicate a song in his honor during this upcoming tour!!

  For reals!! Why isn't there a Denver date???

Dreamt that Melvins were playing a show at a large hotel/resort. There was a big buffet being served beforehand, and I ran into Jared at the dinner hall before the show. I asked him if he wanted to go smoke a doob, and he happily obliged. We walked down some stairs to their dressing room, smoked, drank and then I made my way back to the venue. All the hotel employees were in an uproar because there was another concert going on across the resort, and they were certain that the Melvins were going to be too loud. I kept asking who else was playing and no one would say. So I next walked over to that side of the resort and ran into my boyfriend. He, along with the rest of the crowd there were wearing flasher-type beige trench coats, and Karl Denison was playing. My bf got pissed at me because I ran off to smoke without him, and he was going to stay to watch Karl Denison instead. I told him he was crazy, and that I was going back to get a beer and watch the Melvins.

So where can I find a comprehensive list of upcoming dates?  I feel like planning a vacation!

You're my hero, Condi!!!!

Yes sir!!! Beards are beautiful!!!

This thread has my seal of approval!

Dreamt I had a Melvins' Christmas last night.  There was a big snowstorm, and somehow Buzz and Dale needed a place to stay, so obviously they called me up and came over.  Irezumi was there also, and I was showing them my "Collection".  Buzz was unimpressed, until I showed him a poster I had of him lying naked on a bearskin rug.  I asked him if he could sign his ass on the poster.  He got a big grin on his face and proceeded to sign it.  Shortly after that I woke up.

I want to see a pic of Tim and pinkus hangin!  The beard Boys!

Meeeeeee toooooooo!!!!
