drinking Australian pinot noir with Nick Cave backstage


ok..thats a little much don't you think?


;D


He was drinking vodka gimlets, I was drinking the wine from the Australian embassy that nobody touched. It was a surreal and very fun evening. Nick was sort of aloof but nice to me. I mostly talked with the Bad Seeds. The coolness of that evening isn't lost on me. But it was funny how "normal" it all seemed.
are you noticing that the reality of this thread, the introductions that have now begun to surface amongst us, making us feel nicer somehow already towards one another because we dont mind being friendly, beyond the mean girl approach of normal message boards . . . all the while, this might be the least amount of times atomicfrontage has posted in a single thread, and he started the damn thing.  trying to think where this goes from here.  maybe a next level of introductions, where you reveal your job, your family history and what you grew up with, your psychology and morals, plus the size of your cock. 
Late to the party so I'll keep this short.

First 930 show: Meat Puppets in 85?
Hard to pick a favorite 930 show but my wife wanted to kill me for taking her to see Killing Joke back in 89. Still makes me laugh.

I bought it a few months back and still haven't dove in.  i think the length is keeping me away.  Seems like a hell of a commitment.  Looking forward to it though… eventually.

Don't let the length intimidate you.  It will breeze by, I swear.

If you were going to introduce yourself to Bobby Pollard, which do you think would be more effective?

a. hi, my name is Butch. Really love you work. Can I buy you a beer?

b. hi, my name is Butch. Really love your work. Can I get your autograph?

If the guy is gay this would work best:

c. hi, my name is Butch, I really love your work, Can I give you a bj?

asking for an autograph from a famous person, is not gay . . . but asking a famous person to buy them a beer or a bj, is.

I would just ask them to have a photograph with me if someone being famous had any importance to me.  My ex-girlfriend had photos of herself with everyone. 
i think famous people hate photos, more than autographs.  autographs = respect.  pictures = youre to close to my space, douche.  oh look, i like saying douche, again.

Who cares what famous people like?  They are there to entertain us.  But I would rather have a photo with Meg White than an autograph from her.
