BRAZIL TOUR - PORTO ALEGRE
08/27/09
Then I landed in Porto Alegre! Ready for more! And so began the week of crazy travel. I only had 2 days in each city during this week, but soaked up as much as I could!
Here is the view from my hotel room... very sweet, very pretty. Kind of reminded me of LA.
I saw these horse drawn carriage guys pretty often throughout the city. Really transformed it into an old timey feeling.
Right after checking in I did a photo shoot for a Brazilian music magazine called Noize. These dudes were awesome!
Here is the shot and spread going into the new issue. They asked me for my most influential album... Of course I said The Melvins!
Then it was off to the Welcome BBQ they threw for me! So cool that they did that, it was a really great way to just hang out with the people and friends of the event organizers.
Hanging...
Here is the Churrasco man!! (That's BBQ for you fine folks). Yum yum yum! He's dressed up in the traditional Gaúcho outfit, which is their equivalent of our cowboys.
Here he is with his Matte tea gourd, and knife. It is legal in Brazil to carry a large knife, only if you are dressed in traditional gaúcho attire. Even into a bank or a store. Crazy cool!
Then it was off to the Cabaret Do Beco to set up the show for the event!
Hanging prints... and Henry Saltz making his awesome video... which you can watch below!!
Picking out prints...
Sitting with prints...
One of the walls all done!
Hanging with Eduardo Guspe (who helped set up the Porto Alegre signing) and Matias Maxx (my Brazilian tour manager).
Turns out this douchebag in the leather jacket stole a poster later that night, but totally got busted and paid for it. Big ups to the security team there!!
Lots of Sharpie 'tattoos' were done that night...
Meeting other Brazilian artists.
Hangin' and chatting.
Cool peeps.
More skin drawins'
Then I met my Brazilian twin... ahaha!! This guy was rad.
What a fun night and fun people! The event lasted until like 4am, and was the first one I had where we took over a whole nightclub. There was an awesome DJ downstairs, and a line around the corner to get in. I felt so special! Yay Porto Alegre!!!
