She’s got a history of awful behavior recently made exponentially worse by essentially playing the role of Ghislaine Maxwell in Neil Gaiman’s horrific crimes.

Edit for context — At the show in Boston the other night she was front and center on the screen (back stage during Al’s walk on to Tacky), threw a pie in Puddles’ face and of course proceeded to brag alllllllll about it on her IG. It was all quite nauseating and I was bummed to see that she still gets special treatment from camp AL

I'm a longtime fan of Al -- the S/T was one of my first cassettes -- so it was a thrill to get a chance to talk with him ahead of Pittsburgh show. Among the highlights, he said he turned down a 7-figure offer to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

hi all! i am seeing al at the end of the month and it’s my first ever concert, so i am not super familiar with the etiquette. i believe that some people wait around by artists’ tour buses to see them after the show — do people do this with al, or would this be seen as weird (in a bad way)? i have heard that folks have done this previously, but i’m not sure if it’s still acceptable/typical/etc. thank you!!

So, first off, amazing concert! Hope everyone else that was there had a great time- the rain even held off.

Anyway, here is my sad tale. Sad for me, because of the outcome, but sad for you because you’re gonna be like “not a big deal buddy. Sad.”

So when I first got there I saw the merch line. Huge. Thought I’d get a seat and tackle that after. Came back and stood in line.

I was in line for one thing- the Al enamel pin. I collect pins of all the functions I go to (already had a Tanglewood pin from a previous show) so I stood in line. And as I finally made my way to the front and was second in line, to my right I heard a woman wanting two of the pin. The employee comes back and says they only have the one single pin left. Crestfallen.

I get called up to the front and ask just to be certain that’s what I heard. The employee quickly confirmed. I left the tent and headed to my seat and Puddles wasn’t the only one having a pity party.

Also, this is all hyperbole. I had a blast. And it’s funny, after the fact, that I sat in line for 20 minutes to no avail.

Radiohead
Death Cab For Cutie
(unlikely, but still a fun thought) Neutral Milk Hotel
Violent Femmes
Depeche Mode
The Smiths
Pink Floyd
Leonard Cohen
(also uncertain) The Magnetic Fields
Soul Coughing
(This is definitely unlikely but still a fan idea) Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band

Write your thoughts in the comments :)

more bands that came to mind: The Ramones
Nickleback (more as a jab then anything)
Eels (this one’s also a little doubtful)

Hey, y'all! When I went and saw Al in NY two weeks ago and I was in the merch line, I saw there were pictures hanging up next to the counter advertising what looked like a sticker pack designed by Nina Yankovic and also a bear/cat type thing, maybe also by her?? I didn't have a very clear view of it so I couldn't fully make out what it was or what it was called, but by the time I got up to the counter, they said they were sold out of the stickers and the bear/cat thing and they took the advertisement pictures down.

I'm going to see another of Al's show in two weeks. Does anyone know what this bear/cat thing is (a sticker, a magnet, a pin??) and is it being sold at all the other shows, along with the sticker pack? Thank you!!
