[black stallion]

thanks Idle,maybe they'll play a longer set tomorrow

[FartLips]

for being awake for 24 hours, that is one helluva grin on hanzy's face.

Yea, talked to Dillard for a while Friday.  He's as happy and confused over here as I am.


As far as filming tomorrow, I'm not sure I'll even get in.  They gave out wristbands to get other people in first.  The people that didn't get in to today's shows.  I don't have one...

Watched the Butthole Surfers.  First time I'd seen them.  Really fun to watch live.  Gibby was swigging from a whiskey bottle and drinking beers.  They all seemed like they were having a great time. 

Fantomas killed it.  Biggest crowd so far.  Played Directors Cut.  Patton thanked the crowd, the bands who showed up, and ATP for somehow giving him and the Melvins creative control for the weekend.  I filmed them, but not the Buttholes.

Nice!  I bet the Directors Cut sounded great.  Have you gotten a chance to get any sleep yet??

Yea, I slept 12 hours last night. 

Oh........Dale did an EXCELLENT job in Fantomas.  He missed nothing.  You could see him watching Patton, like he was looking for cues, but didn't seem that he really needed to.


The crowd here really reacted well to them.  I don't think they could get this kind of response in the states at any show.  Being this is a festival, I guess it makes sense, but it was still really cool to see the crowd go for em like that.

Did you get a chance to see Monotonix, or Teenage Jesus..or Boss Hog?

[Idlehanz]

Melvins


Fantomas--And god said let there be drums

[Idlehanz]

Did you get a chance to see Monotonix, or Teenage Jesus..or Boss Hog?

Missed Monotonix

**EDIT**  I guess Monotonix is today.  If  I can get into Fantomas I won't see them.

Will see Teenage Jesus in a bit.  Boss Hog is tomorrow......Not sure if I'll see them or not though.

[Idlehanz]

A bit more......

Was going to skip Teenage Jesus, but on the way to call the gf from a payphone, I ran into Buzz and Dillard.  Dillard gave me a 'formal' introduction to Buzz.  He remembered me from San Fran.  We had a bout 10 seconds to talk and they had to run.  They said they were going to watch Teenage Jesus, so I decided to watch too, if not only to say I did see them, but get to talk to Mike and Buzz a bit more.  I called the girl ( which cost me 10 fucking pounds for a 10 second call!), then headed over to the second stage.  Watched about 4 TJ songs and saw Mike and Buzz.  They were headed out.  It didn't really suit any of us.  Buzz left and Mike stayed and bs'd and bought me a Guiness.  We shot the shit for about 30 minutes and he left for his room and I headed out for the office to see if I could get a wristband.  They're closed.  Shit.  So I'm back in the room.  Here's some shots of the room.

Mine and Stone Prophets bedroom.

Line to get into Butthole Surfers.  This was maybe the last 10th of the line.

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

That's great you got an introduction to Buzz; Teenage Jesus must have been underwhelming.   TEN POUNDS for a phone call?!?! That's insane.  It looks like you got a really nice room; thanks again for all the pictures.

[Idlehanz]

Zu

The room for Zu.  Second stage

Picking up empty beer cups between sets.  Dude never dropped a single one all night.

[black stallion]

[Idlehanz]
