what can I say? My Bloody Valentine and Din Jr in one night? So much awesome noise!

And I will always remember L7, Cows and Hammerhead in one night, in the Entry! God.

These were the days man! :)

A fine current adjustment knob found on this big behemoth of a machine, an old Lincoln Arc Welder.

Nottingham Social April 23 2002

with PW Long, Flour and Brick Layer Cake

My Idealarc 250, beautiful machine! Welds very smoothly.

I saw Babes in Toyland a bunch, but not usually on purpose. I usually wanted to see a band playing either before or after them. Arcwelder was one of my favorites and I saw them tons.

This was in 1992. I went to the show with Stacy Walker and Scott Flaster. David Yow was hit with something/by someone and his face was swollen. "If anyone lost a golf ball," he said.

Sant Feliu Fest 08

Sant Feliu de Guixols, Costa Brava

29/08/08

I saw so many of these, in what, a few weeks?

Walt Mink, Antenna, etc

Blur, Senseless Things - this is the one where Damon was pretty drunk and off key, but entertaining nonetheless. This was Modern Life is Rubbish era.

Ride, Slowdive - what a wave of sound came outta Ride that night.

Buffalo Tom, Arcwelder, Jon Spencer Blues Experience - couple friends and I yelled "hi Brian" or something between songs because it was being recorded for radio.

The wonderful Jenn.

We were talking about music, then dead things.

There, there-by, there by the awesome Touch

and Go Merchandise Tent which I believe had

every T&G title ever to be in print, back, available

for the sole purpose of the festival! They must

have raided warehouses and put several back

in print just for this tent. That's amazing.

I hope some of those small, good bands got

a little more due because of the whole thing.

Arcwelder, Pw Long I'm looking atwards at you.

Just fiddling at the workspace outside, 44th rd LIC. Working on Sidewalk planters.

The end of the lead that holds a welding rod is called the stinger

Miller Syncrowave 180SD welder

Don't know what the OH was up to, but I saw the flashes of light through the barn window and had to go and investigate. :)

It made me really happy to see Arcwelder again. I have tons of happy memories of seeing them in Chicago in the early 90s.
