Can someone going to one of these shows please do me a huge favour?!?

[Vcavallo]

Yea, I'm the new guy, fine, I didn't realize the etiquette around here, makiing money=bad, asking about trades=bad, saying you're friends with Tim Moss=bad.

i didn't intend to make your arrival here unpleasant.  i'm sorry if i misconstrued what it was you were trying to do.  really.
welcome to the melvins.net, where there is no etiquette, just the occasional streak of "dickholding".  post away, mikey.

Talking about favours, I mentioned this in another thread, and I maybe should have post this in one of the reviews threads for more attention, but could someone take a picture of the merch table and post it here? Thanks!

Thanks, I appreciate that, here but for the grace of Vinney go I...
I understand that you probably have a lot of liberal professors and outside agitators filling your head with pseudo-socialist and anticapitalist rhetoric, but equating a barter offer with profiteering really seems like some comprhensive dissonance to me. (I kid, we all know that outside agitators were a myth perpetuated by J Edgar Hoover and Spiro Agnew.)
Those Pigskin 7 inches really weren't all that hard to get, granted I got mine at the shows, but the link was up on the amphetamine reptile site for a day or more, Burlesque had some, and AA had some, I really don't see how someone who truly wanted copies and was on the internet wasn't able to get them at the time.  I offered to pick some up at the shows  for someone on another message board because I know that he is an Am Rep collector, but he was so confident that he could get them off the Am Rep site that he declined.  Those who really want find ways.  Look at the Crybaby's collection, do you think he/she only paid original prices for all fo those items?  Collectors do what they must, up to and including buying extra copies of one thing as trade fodder for another.  For shame.
The question then begs, why do we want them.  The songs are throw away (trust me), but they're limited edition records with screen printed covers and 2 different colors of vinyl, they were manufactured to be collectible and they sure weren't putting limits on what people could buy to ensure there would be some for the general populace, the guys taping the Juxtapoz shows (who refuse to share their tapes, those big jerks, or their tapes of the past Grumpy's shwos) bought many many many copies, and nobody stopped them or questioned it.  What do you think the Melvins are doing by offering limiteed edition collectible items only sold at this event or that event?  They're engendering a collector mentality and a secondary market demand.
So, did I ever tell you guys about the time I was King Buzzo's cashier?

DID YOU GET TO TALK TO BUZZ?!?!?!?  DID YOU SWIPE ALL THE MERCHANDISE AND THEN SELL IT ON EBBBBBAY??????

[Rev. Mike]

"DICKTIONARY", heh, that's funny, very creative. 

As far as Buzz, I just gave him his change and watched one of the most distinctive hair styles in all of rock disappear into the throng gathered to see the Smashing Pumpkins.

Are you saying that Buzz went to a Smashing Pumpkins concert? Did I read that correctly? Just wondering.

The Smashing Pumpkins were playing a block pary in downtown MPLS, and the store I worked at was 1 block away, there were thousands and thousands of people downtown, I sold Buzzo some comics and magazines, I don't think the Melvins were playing that night, but I could be wrong, it was 7/17/98 .  Prince was also out and about that night, it was an insane night to work.

Interesting.   The Melvins had an off day inbewteen Ozzfest dates on 7/17, so could have played in MPLS that night as well.
