I was there, birthday bash and the March 2 show. great shows, Buzz never disappoints. I have been fortunate to see the last few shows, melvins lite, pre bash 13 record release and the bash 13 shows. I must of seen the melvins  oh over 20 times or so, back to 7th street show when they tore it up with helmet. My recent most fav show was the melvins lite. The lighting and sound was incredible, outside at grumpys/mn. My favorite spot to stand is always where i can watch Dale. It is a real treat to watch him play. I was lucky enuff to score one of his drum sticks, hangs on my wall heh for the last 20 years or so. hard to believe that after so many years, they still jam. the true test of time. with this being said, as great as it was seeing buzz stripped down to nothing but him and a wooden guitar. it was really depressing not seeing him with dale. and i must man up,  everytime i hear the alice cooper song "Ballad" I tear up . the melvins , melvins music and seeing them play live , if i dare open myself to possible ridicule and bashing, the melvins have had a huge impact on my life, the hi and lo, the whole exp and aura they bring. i myself usually attend the shows alone. not always , but a dozen shows or so. i never brought myself to actually say anything to either to buzz or dale, I believe i told dale "great show" at the helmet show and purchased a t shirt from him, and one time at grumpys in the early 2000, watching the entire set outside looking in at a sold out show, where dale was playing near the window, i was like heh back stage a few feet from him. i knocked and he looked over and i gave him the your number one finger salute. he just smiled. buzz on the other hand, he was walking back from a grumpys set to his hotel down the street, as i drove by on my cycle , nearly killin myself in the process, i shouted to him "Buzz"! and gave him the devils salute. LOL silly meh. so many memorys with these guys.   
Anyhow thanks buzz and dale and the peeps that have played with them over the years, thanks tom and pat and all the others who have taken the time to make it all possible, and happy birthday buzz, oh and btw i scored a piece of the birthday cake, and placed it in my freezer, and requested my sister, if and whenever i die, i am to be buried with this piece of cake, along w dales drumstick~) ...~i stand alone like a tree, Alone i stand~
