Atlanta show - will it be canceled?

I am thinking about driving to the Atlanta show as that is the closest venue to me on the Eskimo tour, but looking at the really low ticket sales I am worried about making travel plans and spending money if the show may get canceled.

Looking at the available tickets, it seems like they have only sold maybe 20% of the seats for the show. Atlanta hotels are expensive, so I guess I may hold off until the last minute to buy a ticket. Wondering how the attendance has been at the other gigs so far.

Melvins triple drummers

We all know the double drummer setup - but what about times when the Melvins did TRIPLE drums? The tour that immediately jumps to my mind is the 99 tour with VAZ and Melt Banana, where they did 3 drummers on a song. I can't remember which song though.

I found the movie to be underwhelming

I went to see it by myself today. No distractions. I really like the vibe of the backrooms space, and think they did a great job recreating the feel of familiar nightmares. BUT, the character development was weak, and there was not much to the story overall. Some films feel large and communicate the passage of time well. This did not. There was quite a jump from a middle to resolution. The exposition was weak. I walked out of the movie thinking that there could have been more substance. Again, congrats to the filmmakers for creating the vibe, but narratively it just kind of felt like video game cut scenes. Some films are strong enough to survive on just vibe, but this didn't pass that bar for me. 6/10

This deserves to be HUGE

This girl is the sister of the young girl from Hereditary, and an actress in her own right. Her instagram video randomly popped up in my feed, and this song is undeniably great. Surprisingly tiny audience so far. Totally different to what I am usually listening to, but thought I'd share.

Call Lego - let them know you are watching this situation with interest

I just waited 30 minutes to talk to a customer service rep - just to let them know how shocking it is that they have not stepped in to rectify this situation. From my perspective, BAM is causing the LEGO brand irreparable reputational harm, and there are likely things they can do as a company to help resolve this matter.

There is a CONTACT US page on the Lego site, with a phone number and long hours of availability. If enough people call them, perhaps that will help move the needle. I could not imagine taking a financial and reputational hit from lowlives like this.

Obviously LEGO reps can't talk about what they are hearing, but from what I gather they have heard from several people on this so far.
