I don't know if you heard but... they were originally scheduled to play a small club in Detroit that night.  then I got a notice telling me the show was indefinitely postponed.   next thing I know jerkys around here are telling me they are opening for system of a down at a shitty mega-arena that night instead.     $89 a ticket.       I have heard NOTHING more regarding that "indefinitely postponed" club show.  I still sit and look longingly at my tickets for hours on end.    hoping and dreaming that someday... maybe.... I could see MELVINS for the 24th time.

That mega-arena's probably nicer than you think. Air-conditioned and everything.

Yuh huh. That's redneck air-conditioing.

ya see that black spot way down inside there where it costs three digits to sit in a seat that you have to keep your ass in?   that's where the music happens.   I'd be like the guy there in the blue hat making a move on his lady.    and maybe if his was lady was there I actually would be making a move on her.        but either way it pretty much sucks when I stood close enough to get buzz's fro fly-aways up my nose at the last 7 consecutive MELVINS shows.

yeah, i heard about that change...it sucks,i'm sorry glen!

i wonder if the band got more money to play with System of a Down. Buzz always said he plays big festivals just for the money

[Zorn]

Got you added. How about our Parisians? Bloated Pope? Sexy Grampa? Zorn? Anyone going to Paris? France, not Kentucky! 

Meeeeh... I should be working at this time of the year. But I might try to get some work around Paris and stop by Angers on my way. Sounds like a plan! Still hesitating due to the Parisian crowd, but I've never seen the band as a three-piece yet (will they play as a three-piece anyway?) and it's been quite a long time I haven't seen them. I'm already starting to organize as I write this post.

Still hesitating due to the Parisian crowd,

I'll go if you go..............

the pyramid scheme is ghey.  real men with backbones go to the heart of Motown to see bands, not GR hipster city.    I want to fear for my life while entering and leaving the venue and constantly be wondering if my vehicle is going to be there when I start for home.  not be the most intimidating person in the parking lot at 1:30 am.     its danger or nothing for me.

all that being said... I hope it rains like a motherfucker in Clarkston Michigan tonight.

[EGO the Living Planet]

Ugh. The GR show was sold out by the time I got to looking into it.

Kinda thinking about going to Pine Knob tonight but it's not really nearby and I have to work a double starting early tomorrow.

Real bummed about this.
