Finally they are remodeling the entire inside, very exciting news.

However, my initial shows from Gobias Industries are postponed.

Oh no. Now I have to be a drunk degenerate somewhere else.

tell them to work faster

Now more than ever before, I have no reason to be alive.

They should have done it Jan-March...cut out all the snow months.

cmon now rich, you'll always have rttp

RTTP is the internet scumbag HQ. O'Briens is the real life scumbag HQ. They work hand in hand.

Fetch me a bride.

my presence actually lessens the average of scumtitude on rttp and in real life

true story

also, i can't wait for ralph's cheeseburgers tonight...but that's another topic completely unrelated to this one

is ralph's cheeseburgers code word for ralph's penis?

if it were that'd be terrible news, because i can't get enough of em

in all actuality though

Those burgers ARE outstanding.

by the transitive property, pam loves the cock

I'm pretty sure that's common knowledge.

if i had a cock as big as yours i'd love them too

I take it the show on the 24th of this month is off then.

What show was that?

I'll slap you

WHAT WAS THE SHOW, DOUGHBOY

How dare you insult my stunning physique.

Gravewurm, Hekseri, Zircon, Martyrvore, NooseBomb

Oh. Lame.

I was totally looking forward to that.

Move it to the Skybar or some shit.

That place sucks. Beer costs a fortune.

And it's clean.

It's walking distance from my house.

I only care about myself.

yeah, does this mean that all shows are off now?

I'd go, but I'm car-barring.

nevermind, just read Carl's email. wonder what I'll do!

You'll be an aimless wandering shell of a human...like us.

I have a couple good shots of you coming, Josh.

pam said:

HEY, NOW!

Man's gotta eat.

But...but...does this mean O'brien's is going to look...like...clean and stuff?

I don't know how I feel about this.

And for those of you who will need comfort during this time of need, just go to that tattoo place next door and get some permanent eyelids and/or lips. Breakfast o' champeens.

Yeah, just heard about this yesterday. We're deciding what to do with the return of Bostons' Dead. Looks like Jan 5 at OBs isn't an option.

looks like we're done with shows until Febuary then cause O'Brien's is the only place we ever get booked. Oh well, I guess we can write some new material in the meantime.

so is the show on the 9th cancelled?

chris_from_shit_fuck said:

See I feel like OBs temporarily closing sucks in a way but is also a good thing - promoters arent gonna stop booking metal they're just gonna need to be aggressive about getting other venues to let them book metal. I hope. Or there could just be a whole lot less metal in Boston for a couple of months.

It definitely sucks in terms of helping out touring bands though, because it was so easy to get an OBrien's date to hook up a touring band.

Yeah, it's not going to be the same O'Briens. The day it opens somebody needs to go in there and take a shit on the floor, just to give it back it's old mystique.

Done.

haaaaaah. Nice.

I'm unhappy about a clean and repaired O'Brien's. I loved what a fuckhole that place was.

I’ll never forget my first O'Brien's experience. After an agonizing campaign to search for parking in an unfamiliar section of Allston, I approached the green-signed building and peered through the window. “Are these windows?”, I pondered. I thought windows were supposed to be translucent. I shook off the thought, putting my perplexities aside and approached the entryway. After all, time’s a wasting and there’s equipment to load in. I approached the thick door, gave it a mighty pull and took my first steps into a new world.

Once inside, a malodorous wave of air hit my nose like a quick knee to the balls. A pungent waft of garbage and vomit overcame my senses and left me shaky-legged. Moments before straying from consciousness, I quickly regained control of the situation by distracting my mind with far more enchanting thoughts, like being at the dump or eating out my grandmother. Once my eyes regained focus, I gazed into the dark room. Two depressing barflies and a bartender were the only other souls sharing my misfortune. The bartender was engrossed with the cliché task of washing out glasses with a dirty rag and placing them on the counter. For a moment the place reminded me of an old western saloon, only more hazardous to the health.

Moving further into the room, the floor crackled under the soles of my shoes as if O’Brien’s was a living creature reacting in pain to the steps taken on its mighty back. Squishing and tearing sounds filled the venue. My legs became tired exerting the extra energy required to remove my feet from the sticky floor only to place them down again and walk forward another foot. This floor inspired wonder. I wondered if anyone attending the show tonight would bring a handgun. I wondered if said person would be kind enough to use it on me if I were to fall down in the course of the evening.

Shorter thereafter, Sarah from Raising Kubrick entered the club and began laying out shirts and other merchandise on one of the barren tables. I began doing the same. We both seemed to be filled with an enthused optimism that the night’s possibilities provided. We were both excited to be playing in a new venue in front of new people. However, these thoughts seemed to be overshadowed by the distressing fact that we would almost certainly have to throw out whatever merchandise was touching the table.

Haha, ok that’s enough goofing around for the moment.

Just when O'briens had become my second home. This would only be good news if they were closing to make it even scumier.

They should close it so I can shit on the floor for the entire winter season.

They should close it so we can bury dead bodies under the floor board's.

That's a very frivolous thing to close it for.

True, They could stay open for that.

And also, there's no need to bury women. They are not people.

pam said: Yeh they should. fuckin a. Im sure there is another scummy place that will come out of nowhere.

The return of Bostons' Dead will be pushed back until O'Brien's re-opens. Most likely Feb '07.

Mike, that was a beautiful story.

This just figures, I finally start coming to Boston on a regular basis and I am cut-off.

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, the world seemed so empty. True story.

I already told them when I wind up dead, it's all their fault.

I've washed my floors twice since the party and they're still sticky and smell like beer. Maybe we could lay down on them and close our eyes and pretend we're at O'Briens.

Because of this, I'm moving to Fall River. So it can be done.

no fucking show on the 9th, unless we can get another venue. fuck! fuck! fuck!

What was that 9th show again? The bands from NY?

yah

clitorture
wastform
sexcrement
goreality
abnormality

Ill work on getting a room for it as well. Who originally booked it? Josh? If so, Ill give him a call.

yes it was josh, thanx bro.

No problem, if i get the room im thinking of for it, i may throw Revocation on as well. 6 bands would be do-able.

that would kill, revocation is the shit!

Worst news ever. Thank god it coincided with my 5 weeks off from work ending.... Sucks wicked bad about the Goreality and Gravewurm shows though.... Also, there are very few other venues where even if metal shows could be booked would be as conducive to the scumminess of this scene as obriens. I mean, (no disrespect to Alex) I think the villains show proved that all ages without a bar isnt what we want. Hopefully the show at the elks tonite pans out well.

fishcakes said:

Thanks man! We would love to play with Goreality again.

well, hopefully somthing can be worked out.

Could you book that at the Bullpen as a last reserve, if you had to?

I don't know if that date is open
