THE MELVINS :: So Delicious!
August 21st, 2008 — 12:23 pm
Man, they sure were. On Monday me and my friend Kelly drove down to college-fresh Athens, Georgia to drink in the delight of the Melvins and Big Business. Oh, the racket, oh the noise! You can click the photo above or right here to see a ton of pictures.
Highlights included:
1) Juan Montoya
2) Helping semi-famous people be sick
3) Getting invited backstage because Kelly has got CRAZY MAD props with this community
4) Spending a lot of money on awesome jazz CD’s at the abundant record stores
Lowlights included:
1) Leaving Charlotte way late (also counts as a highlight, strangely)
2) Missing Athens exit entirely and not realizing it until we hit the Atlanta beltways
3) Spending a lot of money on awesome jazz CD’s at the abundant record stores
More drawings soon, I promise!

OK,
cheating out on a drawings-post is allright when you have good fotos and stories of a MELVINS concerto.
Around 2003 (04?) they played in my hometown, alongside a set of wild, wild documentations in a movie theater. It was way rad! My best live soundtrack ever.

Nice. I’ll bet it was a nice and quiet show. Lucky.

Hey Dustin, thank you!
I’m having an awesome time chasing your various sites!
Drawn has flaked out on me as of yet, hehe (…just joking).
Best!

You’re right, Ryan–you could have heard a pin drop. OR an unpopular pitter.
Looka, how the heck did I first see your blog, then? I don’t really “surf” the internet that much, so generally I discover new sites when they’re covered on other sites.
Regardless, your drawings are super amazing, very classy. I want them all.

Hmmm… I scoot at super SAM HITI’s place quite regularly, from there maybe?
Much thanks given again! And compliments also handed back grandly too you.
Drop me a line for the drawings – I’ll be in the US Sept/Okt.

Oh yeah, Sam Hiti is IT. I think maybe one of my 3 favorite cartoonists right now? It’s like he’s genetically predisposed toward cartooning.
Are you going to be at SPX (I think it’s like October 4-5 or so)? I’ll buy you a drink if so, my good man/woman.

I had a feeling it was there.
Sam is really kicking it on top of my board too. His new one will be a smasher! No?
SPX=So there. Let’s do this, drinks will be returned! (I was gonna have a table, but timely frictions came inbetween. I will bring stuff anyhow.)
