  1. I'm going to dress up as the only King that I do support, Elvis. I'll also be carrying my yard sign.
  2. or Shane Gillis perhaps
  3. I'd want him to continue the parade in the rain and get obliterated by one of these.
  4. I worked as a grip on a bunch of indies that never saw the light of day. I was usually able to make my way in front of the camera when they needed an extra. Most of those projects were never released - they just ended up as reels for the director to try and line up their next job with.
  5. Ok, @Buzzrock, mea culpa. I was wrong. The Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle was fucking awesome! It started off on the wrong foot as it took over an hour to get into the property, park, and then walk a loooonnngg way to the venue. We probably missed a good 45+ minutes of music. But once we got in everything worked out. As we walked in Primus was starting "My Name is Mud" and then continued on into "Jerry was a race car driver". Then they played their new collaboration with Puscifer. This acted as a bridge. Puscifer continued with no break. They were great. I should not have ever doubted a Maynard project. After 2-3 songs they transitioned into A Perfect Circle. They continued this throughout the night. Each band would play a couple of songs and then transition to one of the other bands. The stage was set up with giant staircases on each side leading about 15'-20' up to a riser that had all three drum kits for the assorted bands. When they moved on to a different band the musicians that weren't playing just hung out on the staircase or on the side of the stage, chilling, partying, even playing table tennis. They were having a great time and would just float back onto the stage and perform. The sound guy was the tits. It sounded crisp, clear, and loud back in the grassy area where we were (cheap seats). The bass rocked the whole environment without overpowering the rest of the band. Good job sound guy! There were several jams in which all 3 drummers were playing and it was fucking awesome. Primus' new drummer is really good. Sounded amazing. My only complaint, other than the parking clusterfuck, would just be my hate of going to concerts at such large venues. I hate paying so much for tickets and then essentially watching the video screens because I can't see the band. I suppose I could shell out a lot more money to sit up front but that runs counter to my credo. I like good music at small venues where I can tap into the energy of the band and crowd. Sitting on a hillside is such a downer. Also, fuck LiveNation. $28 cocktails. Go fuck yourself.
  6. A lot of it just sounds the same to me. I've seen them a couple of times with friends that love them but I've never really gotten into them.
  7. I'm scheduled to climb Mt Etna in July so this is not ideal.
  8. $20 is basically one cocktail or two beers + tip at a venue. My drinks are much better priced - byob.
  9. Friday night is Puscifer, Primus, and A Perfect Circle at an outdoor amphitheater here in Vancouver, WA. I like A Perfect Circle. I get tired of Primus after 3 songs and I can't seem to get into Puscifer even though Maynard is fronting. Maybe they put on a good live show. Fingers crossed. GF loves Maynard so we're going. I think I'll take some edibles.
  10. My immediate neighbor knows that he doesn't have to pay but he usually drops a little something in the tip jar. In actuality, some of the other neighbors have gatherings in their backyard and listen to the music from there. Usually, someone will show up with a little cash and then head back over to their party. I appreciate the gesture but wished they would just gather at my house and fill the backyard.
  11. spoiler alert
  12. It's more of a suggested donation. I had people coming out last year and paying $20 for 5 people or not at all. And these were friends. So I'm putting out an expectation of payment for the artists.
  13. oof. I would change my name. Something a little less nazi like.
  14. Also, if any of you muledicks happen to find yourself in the Portland area reach out and come to a show. I'll make you a margarita.
