I already warned him, "Dude you can totally bring her BUT you will not ruin this for me. The Melvins are making history here man, there will be no fighting, no complaining, no waiting in the car and if there are questions they will be answered at the end. Don't test me I WILL leave you both in New Haven" 

so you're telling me you will not accept the GF pulling the "it's really hot in here and I don't feel so good.  and its so loud!
I... gotta... get outta here"   card somewheres at around song number 2 of the MELVINS set?

NO, NO, NO, NO....NO!  Girlfriends should not be allowed to attend Melvins shows because they don't shut the fuck up during the show.  Please leave them at home.

I told him I will ditch both them at the drop of a fucking hat and that this is a religious experience for me. She was good at the Queens Of The Stone Age Show, they did the entire first album and she was quiet. Is it weird I want him to bring her over to my house for a few Melvins education sessions before the show so I can bring her up to speed? lol

PFFFSHHHHFffffttttt

Prediction for the Detroit Gig: Just saw DOWN is going to be in town the night before, anddddd they have the next day off. Point of me saying this: I'm calling it now.... Bower is going to show up at the gig 

I'm not saying he's going to play with them again -  but I do have got a gut feeling that he's going to show up in the crowd. Bower's a Melvins super-fan.  I had a chat with him after seeing EYEHATEGOD a few years back and Melvins is all we talked about. He got the hugest smile on his face when I mentioned it, too. When he was touring with them (Down with the Melvins - has a nice ring to it, does it not?) dude updated his fb status every 2 minutes about how he was floored to be in their presence and how he was having the time of his life. You'd think you were reading something from all ill-crazed groupie. He'd be like, "Look at this picture of me! I'm sitting at Dale Crover's drumset!!"

You've seen the Melvins at Hellfest youtube vid right? You know the one with Jimmy stage left throughout and then on drums at the end?

Yep!! If my memory is serving me right, i do believe he joined them for Night Goat.

Wow i never thought i would read a comment like that from a female member of the board. Did you make your Mr stay at home for the Lite show? If so well played. 

Actually, I converted him into a complete fanboy before I took him to his first Melvins show.

there's a kit you can buy for this.

[Hot Pants]

so Dan, did you get your tickets for the New Haven show already?

i just checked and it looks like the only option to buy online is for "print at home" tickets, which makes me nervous. they are cheaper, but of course i still get to pay an extra $5 CONVENIECE FEE.

looks like there are no other options besides print at home... the fuck? this wasnt even an option a week or so ago.

[moose]

Yeah I felt the same way in 07. The printed tickets worked fine though.

[Hot Pants]

07 at Toad's you mean? thanks for the reassurance, still feel nervous about it though. having visions of getting to the door on the night of and being given shit about some piece of paper im trying to hand over.

you going to the Toad's show this year too moose?

[moose]

Yeah Toad's. No I'm probably hitting Boston. New Haven's a long haul.

Im such a loser I bought them at midnight the day they went on sale....probably just conditioning from that Amp Rep store!

Ive printed at home many times for many venues including the oakdale... just print good quality. The barcode just needs to be able to be scanned. If they give you any trouble at the door just tell them you know Dan Halen. It won't help you out at all as far as getting into the concert but it will be very funny!
In all honesty I wouldn't sweat it...it's gonna be a great show. I don't care about the fee....$20 out the door to see Melvins Lite? I will pay that price all day long sir! Try to find me at the show and say hi!

[Hot Pants]

thanks moose.

lol Dan. ill tell them that even if they dont ask.

aw fuck, i was just going to say i was probably going to go early and have a few drinks at Rudy's, but i just looked it up (for some reason) and it looks like they were forced to move by the owner of the building. that sucks. that place was a landmark. fucking Chinese fast food joint (run by the building owner) wanted to expand. cocksucker.

anyways yeah. we will hook up.

ok thanks guys. im going to print my ticket and then bug some friends to fucking come to the show too.

ps Dan. planning on hitting any of the other shows in the area as well? i was thinking possibly Providence, and kind of a long shot, but maybe NY or NJ show.

[Dan_Halen]

I should but will probably just be lazy and goto the New Haven show. I have a $200 budget and since the ticket was $20 that only leaves me $180 to spend at the merch table that night...

Rudy's is good...I went there a few years back...then after went in some random bar all drunk and met John  Spencer without even realizing who he was....his band Heavy Trash fucking rocked tho! At least I wasn't too drunk where I didn't buy a 45! Realized who it was the next day when I read the writing credits on the 45.

p.s. If my friend's girlfriend acts annoying you are gonna be my escape plan! haha
