does anyone have their own Melvins story?

I irratated dale to sign my poster once. 

this was before the days when they started signing every poster.  I believe I was the straw that broke the camel's back.
you can all thank me for that.

Yeah, gee, thanks for that one.  Now when I buy a poster (or two) at a show, it's got a bunch of juvenile looking scribbles all over it.   

They need some new material on their posters.  Yah, yah, we know Coadys a fag, write something else!

?

mine don't say anything except "Buzz, Dale, Jared, Coady".    not that I'd prefer them to say "Jared is a homo" or anything.

so you'd rather not have them signed by the band?

tell you what.. next time MELVINS are in town I'll pull some strings and get them to stop signing the posters.
with me its that easy. I ask and it shall be done.    MELVINS put alot of stock in my wishes as supreme fan of fans.

I love the writing on the posters and other things.  I also like when Buzz makes comments between songs about various things.  I even like that they write 'jared is a homo' on things.

Yeah, I enjoy the sigs (and random "fag" and "Fuck off" scrawls).

  My deceased grandfather called the movie 'Top Gun" filthy, with a disgusted look, I assume because of the sex scenes?    My other grandfather can come over though; he curses more than I do.

Lots of things wrong with that statement.
1) I don't have any grandpas left
2) My remaining grandma and Nikki's grandparents (she still has all 4 amazingly) all live thousands of miles away and will never be over to our house for dinner.
3) If you think Nikki will allow any of my posters to hang anywhere but the basement, well YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.

At the NYE show, they offered both signed and unsigned posters.

In 94', my buddy and I skipped a day of school our senior year to drive down to Salem, Or to see Nirvana, Breeders, and the Melvins at the Salem Armory.  A certain Spanish teacher of mine knew we were skipping and didn't rat on us ( thanks D ).  We got inside early, and were meandering around with the crowd looking at shit.  Dale came up to us and said hi.  I had on the Boris t shirt, in a crowd of Nirvana shirts.  He talked with us for about 10 minutes.  Very cool.  That was the first time I'd met a member of any band, and I wasn't expecting to get to talk to anyone, especially for 10 minutes.  He was really cool, thanked us for coming down, and thanked me for having the shirt.  I think we talked a little about the Montesano-Aberdeen area too, and how it was growing up there. 

On a related note, I wore the same shirt the next day back home in a Wal-Mart, and Dales mom said hi to me.  She was cool as well, and said it was nice to see someone wearing her son's bands shirt.

On a third note, here's some pics I posted about a year and a half ago when I joined.  The Mel-van, in case some of the newer crowd never saw it.  Owned by a buddy back home.

We've been talking of rebuilding it for a long time.  It'll happen someday.

It doesn't drive yet.  But you can sit behind the wheel and make 'Vroom vroom' noises.
