Yep. I missed the Melvins. I can't bring myself to listen to Nude with Boots or watch Boris on Youtube now.  I coulda gone, but decided I needed to save money for a move. What an idiot I am. Sure I'll see them again, but man, I feel like, a pit of despair in my stomach. Idiot.... idiot idiot.

So who went to either of these shows? How was it?

Chapel Hell, was an intense show.
Lots more hipsters than usual at the Cradle.
same setlist.
no Buzzo rants.
seems froms other reviews that the Melvins have now restocked there merch table.

Walsbys band Double/Negative opened no MSR.

no more Melvins vs. Grumpys cd sets.

loads of posters. LOADS!....

got one for free after buying three shirts and two other posters.

fun times.

got the above poster, the melvins vs. grumpys poster and august 10 Pearl St. where ever that was.

they had posters from as far back as grumpys....the brooklyn one was cool, but it was the most expensive.

i went to the pearl street show in massachusetts. they didn't have the damn posters though...
Well, we'll always have "In the Air Tonight." Will that be your most enduring song?
You know, that song won't lie down. It just won't go away. I mean, there's a Mike Tyson moment associated with it now. It's just bizarre. I guess it has a bit of mystery, a lot of atmosphere, and the drums coming in, pinning people to the wall.

Is there even a huge following for the Melvins down there?

Especially cause school isn't in?

I'm just pissed they didn't stop in Richmond.

i don't know if i'd say Huge, but alot of melvinsconcertregulars were there. ALOT of people from the coast came up for the show.
the Cradle was packed. probably one of the most packed Melvins shows if seen there.
