The most I've ever spent was probably the book, when it came out on tour. I would count the 8" qee but I added the bill to a bankruptcy. 18 bucks ballooned to over 600 cause the wifey forgot we had a credit card. :?

Haven't had one since!

probably a trip from Snohomish to Portland with my sister and our friend to seem them in 2008 at the wonder ball room. totally worth it. got to be right in front of buzz... may or may not have touched his shoe while he was playing (sorry buzz) and met them after the show! it was awesome! we were there at like 2pm and so were they and they were just hanging out at the downstairs lunch room and we were too but we were too intimidated to say hi. so we sat within listening distance for like 4 hours and then walked around Portland... biggest regret of my life as well.

and to make it worse after the show when I met buzz I was like yea we were here at like 2 but didn't wanna bother you. so of course his response was:

"NO you TOTALLY should've! im not one of those hard guys that doesn't hang out with fans you shoulda said hi!"

I was 15 at the time and now 21, that phrase has haunted me ever since. remember it like it was today.
ugh. oh well. maybe in another lifetime.

and if for some strange reason buzz reads this... whether you meant to or not, whether you would even remember or not, and whether you even care or not... THANK YOU!

the day I met you I asked you to get me into the next days seattle show which was 21 and over. you said you couldn't and they don't even let your underage family come to those and its up to your booking agent. i said thanks anyway and recommended playing matt alec live because that's the coolest song ever.

the next year there were two seattle shows. the first was 21 and over but the second was all ages. and in the set included matt alec along with all the other mangled demos and even a surprise cover of my favorite song by my other favorite musician. let me roll it.

it was the coolest and greatest thing ever. im sure you didn't mean to do it, but it was like mailing me a fresh batch of melvins cookies and it made my life better.

thank you buzz. whether you meant to or not. ill keep pretending it was for me.

Recently spent $50 on eggnog vinyl

I bought Your Choice Live Series on vinyl recently too and spent nothing thanks to Discover card rewards points.  :ohsnap:

Both should be arriving in the mail this week along with another recent purchase.   :buzz:
Is Ian back yet??

Make sure the vinyl isnt delivered whereby the mailperson folds it and slips it through your drop slot.  :x

If that happens I'll sick my kids on him which is worse than any vicious guard dog imaginable.
Is Ian back yet??

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.

Which one are you? It seems over half of the members are Canadians. Between this board and that one, do you have over 20,000 posts?
