Here’s Black Dahlia Murder’s tour manager with Black Dahlia Murder’s money in front of Black Dahlia Murder’s merchandise. I drew the image on that shirt behind him. Black Dahlia Murder don’t seem to play New York City all that often so I have to get on trains and busses if I want to see them. On Tuesday they performed at the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale with Toxic Holocaust, Skeleten Witch and Trap Them.

The Crazy Donkey sucks my dick and balls. I just realized that the logo looks like the donkey from Shrek, but Shrek is so bland and generic that everything bad kinda looks like it.

It was cool to see kids running around in my shirts, even if they were the most awkward kids I’d ever seen. The people at the show were either little teeny, twiggy tweens or giant tree creatures that walked like men. I saw some of the largest men I have ever seen at this show. Just huge, hulking seven feet tall, five hundred pound men, crashing into each other with thunderous clapping sounds. I felt like I was fourteen, watching the bands play at the local teen center. So many awkward dudes. There weren’t many girls there but the few there were all way hotter than the girls I see at metal shows Brooklyn. I’m still trying to wrap my head around that one.

Then out came the pit kung fu. The more complicated a dude’s goatee was, the more funk or extreme death stylee he would bring to his pit steps. This guy with the fingerless gloves, DC shirt and baggy bondage pants really brought something to the table in regards to being a jackass. Right around the time he started doing his bop-bop-twirl-strut routine I started thinking of all the kids wearing my shirts as being like my stupid children who I felt sorry for, and wanted to wipe the drool off their chins.

I like looking at this guy. It tickles my vomit bone. If I stared it long enough and focused, I could throw up from looking at this picture.

The pit went from totally gay leperchaun moves to pretty scary as soon as Black Dahlia Murder took the stage. Gigantic men that reminded me of the walking tree people from Lord of the Rings were moshing with little children and hot teenaged girls, all of whom smelled really good. This above photo was taken when the pit was still corny.

This is Trevor from Black Dahlia Murder. All the BDM guys are are fun and funny dudes. I wonder what the significance of the “heartburn” tattoo is. Look at how red and sweaty he is. Haw haw haw.

The club still had all of their Halloween decorations up. That was pretty boss.

Black Dahlia Murder gave me a ride to the train station in their van and I interviewed Trevor but I did a bad job so I’ll just shelve that one away. Maybe some day I will do a better one. I saw this poster while waiting at the train station on the way home. I had no idea Domo Kun was so popular. I met some F.I.T. girls on the train ride back to New York City who were impressed that I did shirts for those guys and such. I bet I could bone a lot of high school girls by just following around Black Dahlia and name dropping the fuck out of them.

I should also mention that Karim started up his own T-shirt label called NLSL KVLT. I did a shirt for him with lyrics taken from the Ministry song “Everyday is Halloween” on it. Also I drew myself on it.

Also, he did a shirt that parodies the album art to Pulp’s record, This is Hardcore. And just so this doesn’t end on me plugging stuff here’s a video I took of Skeleton Witch performing Despoiler of Lies.

By the way check out their brand new album Breathing the Fire , which was just released on Prosthetic Records.
