Bob Log III and Scott H. Biram Concert
August 17th, 2008
At Pat’s Pub, even the guy who makes the pulled pork sandwiches was surprised Bob Log III is playing their East Hastings street bar. Last time I was in Vancouver I of course walked all over the Downtown Eastside, I used to have Downtown Eastside cred, the Pub in the Patricia Hotel may be closed after all these years and that makes me sad. I remember also going to Jelly Roll Morton night for instance.
Bob Log III played the Pic a few years back and got the greatest review in the Georgia Straight or someplace. I regretted not going, so I coughed up the 13 bucks to see not one, but two, one man bands.
One is on Fat Possum Records the other is on Bloodshot Records my two favourite record labels. I’ve never seen a Bloodshot artist live. I’ve missed out a couple times so in September I’m heading to Seattle to see the Meat Purveyors who for the record are still broken up, the lead singer sent me an email insisting on that. I wish the Waco’s would tour further afield from Chicago.
Now the big question is do I wear my Bloodshot Records t-shirt or my Fat Possum Records t-shirt? I just realized I have two Bloodshot Records t-shirts I guess that is why it is my favourite record label now isn’t it?
I did have to replace my Fat Possum shirt after it went missing while I was staying with Blair in Sapporo.
Now it is many years later and I have not seen many concerts since I left Vancouver. I lived in China for several years. I managed to pass all three CFA® exams but still have not gotten that career universities and others insisted would be mine if I sacrificed and studied. If you were at this show or saw these two play another time which I eventually did you can leave a comment below.

I saw Bob Log the Third again tonight (June 10th 2026), not quite twenty year’s later, sorry Bob I lied. But I did have barbecue before the gig. I saw Scott H. Biram last Friday so six days ago. He was playing with the Supersuckers completing my holy trinity. Of the three Bob Log III had the least people at his gig. I don’t understand. I of course own Bob Log III, Scott H. Biram and Supersucker’s t-shirts but I wore a 20 Watt Tombstone shirt to both gigs, because I’ve gain weight since the 90s or even 2008 and they fit the oeuvre. Using French words after drinking is hard.
