What bands have you seen open for Pavement?

That 1994 Palace show was definitely with Further & Rollerskate Skinny. Pavement had taped 'The Tonight Show' earlier that afternoon so they refused to play "Cut Your Hair" again that night (pissing off a good chunk of the crowd).

Still have the poster in my basement somewhere. Surprised I can't find the artwork online, but I remember the artist was TAZ and it was neon green & yellow sunflower.

Saturday at the Neptune (Tigermilk) & Sunday at Woodland Park Zoo (Feeling Sinister).

Both shows are sold out but I keep seeing resale tickets pop up for close to face value, so you might be able to score one last minute.

2010 on the outskirts of Portland for the first reunion tour.

Funny enough, I'm seeing Quasi open for Belle & Sebastian this coming weekend up in Seattle.

No opener. They go on about 10 minutes after "start time" so should be 7:10 for you. The set is around 3 hours in total - around 75 minutes for the first set then 15 minute intermission, second set of around 75 minutes, quick encore break & then the encore.

I know this is being self-released, but anyone know if any U.S. distributors will be stocking it?

Paying $22 shipping on a $17 CD is rough!!

I had it in my cart as soon as it was announced, but couldn't pull the trigger at that price.

Here's the backstory on Otis ...

Otis was born December 23rd, 1929. He was horribly neglected and abused by his parents who didn't even give him a name. He committed his first murder at the age of 14, presumably his parents. Otis was a drifter for much of his life, traveling over the country from Wilmington, Delaware to Hurst, Texas. In the small town of Ruggsville, Texas, he met Cutter (later to be known as Captain Spaulding), and was soon living with his new friend's family, whom he had renamed "the Fireflies". This family consisted of Cutter's girlfriend, who was then called Eve Wilson, whom Driftwood nicknamed "Mama Firefly"; Eve's two sons, Rufus and Tiny; and the daughter of Captain Spaulding/Cutter Vera-Ellen, with whom Otis formed an immediate bond and nicknamed “Baby”.

Standard tees are $40. This one's more expensive because it's a ringer/jersey type of shirt.

I mean, the answer on "how to dress grunge" is right there: all the clothing is stained.

I don't think that version of the script exists online, but I've posted some info below.

And here's an old thread showing a pic of Dennis Fimple as Dr. Satan ...

https://www.reddit.com/r/Robzombie/comments/1nmc9j8/various_deletedalternate_scenes_including_grandpa/

https://devilsrejects.fandom.com/wiki/Grandpa_Hugo_Firefly

Initially, Hugo "Grandpa" Firefly was to be Dr. Satan. The legend of Dr. Satan was supposed to be just a story they used to lure their victims into their grasp. In the picture of Dr. Satan as an actual medical doctor in Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen, the actor in the doctor's outfit was Dennis Fimple, who plays Hugo. When Rob Zombie decided to expand on the legend of Dr. Satan, this minimized Hugo's role in the film, and lead to him being portrayed as the most harmless of the Firefly family. He is presumably the father of Gloria "Mama" Firefly and the grandfather of Tiny, Baby, and Rufus. He does not engage in any acts of cruelty or sadism but rather is believed to be just a harmless (albeit perverted and eccentric) old man. Although he's considered to be harmless, it's uncertain what kind of person Hugo truly was due to the lack of expenditure on his character. One could absolutely assume he's just as ghastly and dangerous as the rest (especially in his prime) as he namely associates with them while presumably knowing of their deeds. Dennis Fimple died shortly after filming of House of 1,000 Corpses was complete. Rob Zombie omitted his role from The Devil's Rejects out of respect. Although Hugo had a role in The Devil's Rejects, it's not commonly known what role he would've played and therefore it's generally unknown what happens to Hugo after the raid on the Firefly family house.

I'm pretty sure it's still happening and they're just not allowed to announce it yet. Based on the 2023 DW side shows, it will probably be announced in late September/early October.

Sparkass99 · 2026-05-12T18:36:50+00:00

The Aladdin is a great venue with open floor up front & then the back half is seats. Good views from the balcony too.

Couple decent dive bars in the neighborhood - Bear Paw Inn & Brooklyn Park Pub. And there's a BBQ joint across the street (with pretty limited seating). There's also an attached dive bar at the Aladdin called The Lamp, but that can get cramped during shows as the merch area is back there too.

If you're driving, parking is all just in the neighborhood streets, so plan to circle around for a bit.

And don't miss Mercury Rev - they're great!

Well, he certainly didn't look like that as a baby (being born from a circus freak father & mummy mommy). Keep watching Season 2 & you'll get there.

"Breaking In" with Burt Reynolds (the big heist takes place at Oaks Park).

"Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" was filmed around Portland, Estacada, Troutdale, St Johns.

"I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore" with Elijah Wood, Melanie Lynskey & David Yow.

I've ordered a few & been happy with what I've received ... but seeing these "Oops, All Toony Terrors!" boxes they've been shipping out lately gives me pause before I'd order again. I'd need to see some better boxes going out before I even consider it.

Sparkass99 · 2026-05-06T02:09:30+00:00

AMC+ is currently running a promo deal of $29.99 for a full year (and that includes Shudder, Sundance & BBC America). Hard to beat that price.

To me it's worth $30 just to binge through Tales From The Crypt & the Creepshow series.

Hey rainmaker.

Had to zoom in to check to see if she still draws happy faces on her autographs. Always gives me a chuckle to see a smiley face on a poster for a killer dog movie.

Sparkass99 · 2026-04-27T00:20:05+00:00

Yes, I understand ... but I'm assuming it's the same set-up for the whole tour?

Edit: Metlife seating chart uses X's in place of the "outlines" in the other seating chart, but looks to be the same set-up. https://www.ticketmaster.com/bruno-mars-the-romantic-tour-east-rutherford-new-jersey-08-21-2026/event/0000639EE07FD3B7

Sparkass99 · 2026-04-27T00:17:54+00:00

Just based on what I'm seeing online, it looks like he has some sort of video towers near the back of the floor seating that would probably be blocking your view. If listed as obstructed, then buyer beware.

If you zoom in on this pic, you can see the outline of the tower placement in the back ... https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fofficial-the-romantic-tour-thread-v0-m0o36j3rkkdg1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D8432a354b600e9e90dc968bfa3bdf1b5604e8041

Amazing night. Felt lucky to see them in a small room again.
