[Mount Ambulance]

so whos going to alaska????

If I were going to make a long ass trip like that, I'd hit the Hawaii show instead.

Yeah, no shit ... better weather, better beaches ...

[Uncle Fester]

hawaii is scary... all secluded, surrounded by the angry sea.
Melvins are most likely gonna shake out another earthquake, blowing a hole in the middle of the hopeless island causing it to sink.

I'm thinking of catching the Rochester show on July 1st before they hit Canada.. Then catching the Boston show 3 months later on October 1st. It's nice being in a centralized location. It's about the same distance either way from Albany

this was shaping up to be a top 5 best night ever.   right up until that post.   

thats okay though.  I'll just dupe armofinfant into buying for all of us.

"We figured it was time for us to do something REALLY crazy," said Osborne. "51 shows in 50 states plus 1 on D.C. and all in 51 days?  Jeez!  I wonder if we can do it?"

The tour, which will feature the Melvins Lite line-up of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Trevor Dunn, also marks the first time in the band's near 30-year history that they will perform in Alaska, New Hampshire, Delaware and Hawaii.

Last band that I can think of that did this was George Thorogood in 1981 of course he was 31 when he did it...

upon closer inspection, this tour was 51 in 50, as he did 2 shows in one day, DC and maryland: http://thorogoodconcerts.com/5050tour.html

melvins are gonna have to add some instore performances or second sets (which may not be hard judging from the size of some of these places) to actually set the record
