Tomorrow night's EHG show (formerly the New Hampshire raffle ticket debacle) is moved to the Cambridge Elks. This is all according to SMC, according to Robin. 7 PM ALL AGES.
Hope they're not asking for the full guarantee. Shit is outta control. That is in no way me empathizing with those fags in NH cancelling. They should be tarred and feathered.

does anyone know the rest of the bands on the bill?!
Tomorrow the elks said yes to sa last minute show. Thank you rey and donnie from the elks. Dudes undestand our fight. Fuck cops fuck the fucking world. Sylo. Gfod.
The basic rule is don't fuck around enough to get the place shutdown. There is a bar downstairs, but if you are standing there drinking in the big room, people will notice right quick.

what about backpacks, for instance?
it's just tricky because i've never been so i don't have a feel for what kind of place it is.
(obviously i'm not planning to parade around with beer blatantly)
Come, kick ass, mosh and then talk about it for ten years

alright fucking relax, i'm not trying to fuck anything up for anyone. i just wondered what this venue is like, that's all.
all i care about is the line-up, anyway.
it was fucking incredible on sunday and i'm sure it will be just as phenomenal tomorrow/today.

Any idea what time the show will run until?
post by mindless. at Jun 15,2010 9:17am
this place is the chillest place for shows in all of the boston area. don't worry about bringing backpacks, there is no security, it's a fucking elks lodge behind mcdonalds in central square.
i've never been to elks lodge before, how strict is security about patting people down or searching us?
When the valet comes to park your car tip him a crisp $2 bill and tell him you're a guest in the INTHESHIT opium den. Take the elevator to balcony C, and head through the grand ballroom. There you'll be able to watch the show through complimentary opera glasses and nosh on watercress soup. The password is "Fidelio."
It's a DIY space with DIY rules. Just come out and have fun. Leave the searches to the transit cops.
Hail Robin. You Boston fucks are lucky to have a man of this calibre looking out for your best interests. Last night's show was fucking magic. I am still drunk. My chains, they are so morbid.

sorry people, didn't mean to cause any problems here.
i was running on no sleep and wasn't thinking at all clearly.

post by AndrewBastard at Jun 15,2010 3:41pm

I received a similar text yesterday at this time.

DRUGS will be the predominant theme. Bet!!! Fuckin right Ill be sneakin in booze too. Fuck the elk nigs! muuuaahhaaaha!
intheshit is starting now.
if i had to guess, livver at 7:40, howl at 8:10, nachtmystium at 9ish, and ehg at 10 but im not sure. paul, leave now and youll be here for 8ish. i got here from ports in about an hour.
intheshit just finished. i have absolutely no clue what xmikex was saying in between songs. i think he was talking in feed back. i did hear him send a song out to dave. they sounded really good.
livver was good too, but it was a little odd on that stage. im still trying to get into taking pictures here again. thankfully all the other bands look like they are setting up on the ground.
can howl ever sound bad? through the feedbacky mic. through the 1/2 empty room's echo. through one vocal mic. still sounded awesome. i was thinking during their set what would they sound like recorded at god city... more like coliseum?
ok, there is an image about 100 pictures in to the set where w3 has a random hand over his mouth that isn't his hand. he doesn't look too unhappy about it.
I bet the show wouldn't of got shut down if it stayed at Rockos.
Of course though it probably got moved to the Elks because people were throwing hissy fits because they had to sell tickets. I could be wrong though.
The show got moved to the elks because the retard promoters at rockos bailed on the show 4 days before it was supposed to happen. Hence therefore, if the show "stayed at rocko's" it never would have happened. Read an internetz sometime dummy.
WOW WOW WOW This could be the best show I've ever been too in my almost 20 years of going to shows. EPIC!!!! Between getting to sing with Mike Williams while Jimmy Bower played next to me and I was picking Seth Putnum off the floor I can die happy.
- EHG is the 2nd heaviest band I've ever played with.
- Livver had my favorite bass tone of the night.
- Contrary to popular belief, DIY is still a reality. This show stamped and notarized it.
- "Hey Bobby, what's good man." "TRYINA FAAACKIN DRIIIIIIIIINK"

Mike why did they cancel the show? Scared of EHG? Does anyone know the official reason?
Mike why did they cancel the show? Scared of EHG? Does anyone know the official reason?
The reason, as explained to us by the promoter himself, was that they weren't happy with the ticket sales and worried they weren't going to make enough money to take a Scrooge McDuck bath in. It's all been well documented in earlier threads. Please feel free to browse at your leisure.
We apologize to anyone that was planning on attending.
Things did not work out.
Refunds will be issued.
Please support this tour and go to one of the other two shows.

I just did take a leisurely stroll through the other threads. Why the fuck do local bands continue to sign on to play shows for NEC or more specifically that promoter?
arne aka badsneakers. I love the look of that bass.
thanks mike and rev!

Awesome show.
When a show like this has to be done by 11pm, maybe there shouldn't be so many opening bands. EHG would have obviously played a much longer set if they had been giving more time. Fuck it though I had a blast. thanks
post by im logged in at Jun 16,2010 7:45am
curfews on shows are fucking retarded. just let the music play. we'll lock up when we're done.
you guys haven't been to a show at the elks... I'm really really really surprised it didn't get shut down at 9:45. The curfew there is usually 10. depending on the permit.

of course, any man with a Steely Dan influenced username is going to have unmatched taste. No sarcasm...love me that Steely.
Haha probably my favorite band ever!
post by mindless. at Jun 16,2010 10:07am
this show was really awesome, thanks to the dudes who made it happen in boston, i really appreciate it.
did anyone happen to pick up a back patch that EHG had though that would maybe be up for selling it to me?
i somehow lost my debit card somewhere in between using it to get into this show and being at the show, when i realized trying to use it again to get money out for the patch that i no longer had it.
so bummed on both accounts, i have to leave work early now to get a new card and that back patch looked fucking awesome. : (
regardless, really really glad this show happened and i got to attend.
Thanks again for respecting the elks and the good behavior. Jimmy Bower should calm down about money they almost lost a fan last night.

listening to Nachtmystium's "Addicts: Black Meddle Part II" while reading this thread, checking the pics and surfing RttP in general = my life is COMPLETE.
