Thank you. I searched high & low lastnight. I wasn't able to find squat.

[IrvingtonFoster]

yea it's not really being promoted, i just happened to be searching through the venue's calendar because i heard Saint Vitus is playing there in January, and came across that.

Not a big fan of EHG, but DNA is walkable from my place.  If you guys get in early enough, I'll pop by for a drink or some food beforehand.

Also, thanks for the Frisco clarification, Buick -- you nailed it.  All the locals (even in surrounding cities) call it "The City."

Yep. ^         lived in the South Bay for a stint.

I'm not sure if I can even swing getting the day off, BUT I purchased a ticket today anyway.

Who knows, with the economy the way it is..I might be laid off when Dec comes around.

I'm going to make all attempts to make the show.

I'm pretty sure they started with charmicarmicat, right?
I was in the mosh pit for the melvins entire set and my ass is kicked. Had to leave with a song or 2 left, soaked and beat. Met a few guys from the august show at the blank club, soaked and beat like me from the pit. 7th melvins show, first bhs...met jared outside the venue a few hours beforehand, my bassett hound, my lady and I were wondering the city and ran into him...talked about music and the bhs, he petted my dog.....literally though, not sure if 'pet my dog' is slang for something creepy in the city or not....


I thought the BHS were amazing, leary is a nut and gibby didn't seem half as bored as everyone been saying about the previous shows....leary talked for a minute about how they were really happy to be back in 'the city' and looked like they had a lot of old buddies around. Dale came on and played the encore with 'em, some noisy stuff and '22 going on 23' I believe. No theresa nervosa, I think that was established earlier though.....I'm not sure if pinkus could be more of a badass...half the time he looked like an old hardcore dude that was gonna smash his bass on someones nugget, the other half he was smiling and grinning and giggling like he was giddy as a schoolgirl.....it was great

It seemed like 'dog island' was heavy as can be....

first time staying in a hotel instead of making the 3+ hour drive home to chico.....that was nice.
My ladys never been to the city, so we woke up and went to the pier and the wharf and ate crab and clam chowder until I felt like i was going to turn into a barnacle....
bought my ticket ahead of time cuz I was worried about the BHS drawing a crowd and none being available at the door....fucking ticketmaster....first time I've went through them in like 4 years, fuck those guys....

Great review Boo!


I went to Shotwell's but didn't see anyone I recognized.


I must have got thrown out of the place just before Dale Crover took the stage.

I guess I could have got back in but I was advised not to. Ended up getting a righteous poster and a picture with Moss.

those show posters were awesome, first time ive been to a melvins show and didn't buy a poster...30 bux....but they were huge, colorful and awesome.....after paying between $5-$7 twice for a drink inside, i had unavailable funds....then the posters showed up....

Oh shit man, I didn't realize you were going to make the trek!  We started off at shotwells and played a couple games of pool, but decided to head down toward the venue a little earlier than planned so that our designated driver could squeeze in another drink before the show and still be sober at the end of it.  Sorry man!  Next time fo sho.

[Juan]

no sleep + methadone the prior night = BAD IDEA.

Beers & Methadone is a worse idea.
