That is a pretty cool poster

Unfortunately that's not a poster, just something I found online. They were selling the previous night's poster from Munich in Prague.

Prague looks so cool. And beer is just over $1 a pint. Need I go on?

The venue was underground which is good (the best things in cities are underground and the best things in the countryside are up high, I reckon) but they really hiked the price of the best beer up to around $1.75 a pint which didn't matter too much, either.

The weird thing was how quiet it was. The venue was about a fifth full, maybe 100 people there at the most. There were so few people, one stage-diver found out there was nobody betwen him and the floor and landed on his face. Everyone thought the bouncer had pushed him, but he just jumped and what few people were there just moved out of the way 

Buzz really got into 'performing' for the young kids there who were out of their minds on Melvins, dashing right to the front of the stage and playing to their faces; no one could stop grinning the whole night.

There are no no smoking areas in Prague bars and venues; I wasn't the only one who went home thinking I'd started smoking again; Gareth The Merch sat behind his table with a shirt over his mouth all night, he couldn't stand it 

Highlight of the evening: sitting in the garden of a cool underground bar, smoky as fuck, with Dave Curran, Scott Martin and Coady for an hour before the gig.

Deffo going back to Prague with a female for a few days of hanky-panky, this place is outstanding.


Things to do in Prague:


....yes, it says, "Museum of Communism: above MacDonald's and next to Casino."

I can imagine a Swiss person visiting Czech Republic will wonder how they could ever spend their holiday money before it's time to leave. I met a Hungarian guy at the gig who got a hotel for the night for the equivalent of 12 Euros.

Oh yeah, props to the two English guys (one from Andover and one from Cambridge) who I keep seeing! They were at the Tourcoing, Mezzago and Prague gigs, too, having hired a car for the week just to follow Melvins. Awesome. One of them was telling me in Mezzago that the Milanese prostitutes he'd seen were so beautiful, he was getting really tempted. I think I convinced him to have a wank and buy a couple of Melvins shirts instead.

Prague is a great city.  My wife lived there for almost a decade before coming back to the USA.  We visited in 2007 and I got to see Day Glow Abortions and the Accused at a tiny club called 007.  Good times.
