Melvins POD Tour, Showbox Seattle 18 Sept.

[GrimReaper]

So far I know Smellis, Bad Ronald, will be there with me.  Anyone else going?

Pre-Melvins shots?

Who must work/drive home after the show?

[spunkmonkey]

Haven't got my ticket yet, but I'll be there.

I'll be taking a cab home so I'd be up for drinks.

[Idlehanz]

I'll be there.  Might try to find a room at the Tortoise after the show.  Amtrak back to Portland the next morning for that show.  Then work the next day.

[Smellis]

I'm there. I'm screwed in the drinking departmant though, I have to work Wednesday morning!!! Oh well, I will by right up front on the stage directly in front of Buzz. Look for me there if I don't see you first. Last time I saw Grim at a show at Neumo's he was hanging on the stage watching Buzz and Dale like he was taking a mini college course. Don't think he even blinked once.

my girlfriend and i are going.........     drinking too much will just make me sleepy, so i'll just enjoy the melvins sober...

[AaronNi]

I'm in but I'll remain sober since I'll be driving home afterwards.  Really really excited to see what they play! 

[Dead Cowboy]

YES give us a set list plz!

[GrimReaper]

20 20 20 4 hours to go.

[Idlehanz]

20 20 20 4 hours to go.

Grim....pm me a number, lets meet again before the show.  I do belive I owe ya  few drinks.

[Idlehanz]

I'm on my way.....see ya bastards there.  Look for the black coat and beanie.

[GrimReaper]

I can't wait to hear Buzz jam to Your Blessened!

Heading out now. Just listened to Suicide in Progress from Roadburn Festival!

Dudbean, look for the crew at Pikes Place, and anyone else.

[AaronNi]

Well that sure made this weather seem less gloomy! 

Setlist was almost the same as Sacramento's but I swear I heard another song from Bullhead played before Dwight Fry, maybe they mixed the list up or played another but it was definately there.   Big Business did a short 6-7 set which had Toshi & Dale up on guitar for Easter Romantic and a possible new song.

POD was both fun and slightly confusing, not as long as I thought it'd be though, maybe 30 minutes?

Also saw Grip, Hanz and a few others before-after-during the show, and got the Mel-Vins poster where one of the band members drew a swastika on it.    Hehehe.

yes the show was pretty good...... the cover of the beatles' i wanna hold your hand (the beginning of it, anyway) was a surprise....  and the older songs, like your blessened, with teeth, hog leg, done with 2 drummers was really good.

i was supposed to meet up with idlehanz to swap some dvds but we kept missing each other....  next time, i guess

they need to keep doing older songs with this 2 drummer set up.....

[Idlehanz]

Excellent show.  Same setlist as Sac.  I met up with Grim before the show, and we went and got Bad Ronald and his female counterpart.  Drank many beers and made our way down the the Showbox.  They went off for another beer, and I went inside to check the merch.  They had about 15 cd's, all the new 7 inchers, the POD dvd and 7 incher, the Trilogy vinyl!!, POTRE vinyl, some framed stuff I didn't get a good look at, the 2 different Octo shirts, the Pussy shirt, and the Eggnog shirt.  And the posters of course.  Oh, and a limited edition ASA cardboard cd with different cover art.  I finally got myself a copy of the trilogy, the poster, and a few other things.  I'll get more shit tonight   I also met Dudbean, Smellis, Aaron Ni, and some friends from back on the harbor.   Also met Mike Zeigler, very nice guy.

The show was great.  Kurt  let me stand in the soundboard area next to him to film, so I had a pretty good view.  I found and talked with Dan Raymond before the show, and also talked a bit with Toshi between BB's and Melvins set.  Watched a buddy of mine get on stage about three songs till the end, and get rushed off, then suddenly he was thrown out.  Not sure what he did, but they didn't take kindly to it. 

There's more, but I'm kinda pooped.  Anyone going to tonights PDX show bring your wallet.  There's some good shit for sale.

[AaronNi]

Hahaha, Hanz, I was stage right and saw what happened to your friend.  Instead of walking down off stage he tried to climb up on the equipment boxes and jump back into the crowd, which as we all know security hates it when people climb on the venues shit.  Oh well!
