here it is!

Remember that band/manager that was asking for a Drag Rats logo that was rat fink but not rat fink?? I done this for him and sent him a little pic of it and after a bit of discussion he never got back to me. Presum he found someone better or just stole the art? I was only gonna ask for a free record as well.

Hey, my bad, Kopper, didn't noticed these restrictions... I shall upload my drawings asap !

Oh, and by the way, please don't link to off-site galleries or blogs to show me your work (especially Facebook!). That's one strike against you right there if you do so. Instead, do what these other fine artists have done and show your stuff off right here on the Hideout.

Mr. Esgar

Thanks!

I already have artists lined up to do the album cover art for all of the first five volumes of the Hideout comp series, and a couple of people in mind for Vol. 6, but nothing is decided yet on that one. If you would like to show off your stuff and throw your hat in the ring for consideration for future volumes (meaning Vol. 6 on), then post a message below with a link to some of your work so I can check it out.

Just like with the music for these comps, you're submitting your artwork for the (virtual) cover of one of our compilations. There are no terms (although since the entire comp is offered under a Creative Commons license, your artwork is basically included in that) and you are free to use this artwork elsewhere if you want, of course. You will get credit for designing the cover on the compilation page, naturally. So, while I can't offer you any actual MONEY for your artwork, I can tell you that these comps are getting some great exposure, though, and should therefore likewise bring your work some good exposure and hopefully lead to some actual paying work for you. :)

Thanks!

hey... just saw this... guess it'e too late...

I second the Chaser pill though it doesn't help when you're actually hungover...

Also things with electrolytes and vitamins like Vitamin Water help me a bit, personally. And sleep and COFFEE. COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFFEEEEEE.

Strangely enough, exercising also helps me as long as the hangover isn't TOO severe. You feel like you're going to die while you're doing it, but afterwards you feel pretty OK.

Or quoting the song "I'm gonna stay drunk til the next time I'm drunk..."

I knew that was the right question!thanks for all!lots of useful info!

Yeah, speaking of charcoal, I heard that eating burnt toast is a good way to get charcoal in your system, which helps absorb/filter out toxins related to your hangover.
Eat that combined with the mass fluids and vitamins you want pump back into your system.

I'm a big fan of Alka Seltzer.  A friend of mine was a paramedic.  He would inject himself with saline solution and suck on an oxygen mask.  I don't know about the I.V. but Granny won't miss a little O₂ will she?

I hate hangovers & have tried many recipes. This is the simplest, most reliable and available method I have been using for the past several years. I discovered something like this in Europe and found a similar product here that works.

It's available at Walgreen's, CVS, Osco & some other drugstores too. It's called Chaser & you can buy a small pack or a larger bottle.  It's homeopathic, contains only natural herbs and ingredients.  Some of it is a big dose of B & C vitamins, which others have mentioned as helpful.  Some of it is calcium carbonate & charcoal, which absorb toxins and is what they give to people in the drunk tank to bring them down. Some of it is various herbs & extracts such as lobelia & nux vomica, to combat headache & nausea.

It's best to take Chaser while you are starting to drink and not when you're already drunk, but if you realize you're getting too drunk or are about to, then you can still take it and it'll bring you down some.  If you're pretty drunk before you take any, then you should be sure to stay up a while after your last drink and before crashing & drink lots of water [you should do that regardless anyway when drinking; I try to have a glass of water, no ice, for every alcoholic drink.]   The only times it didn't work well were when people are already way drunk and maybe puking, didn't have much water or anything to eat, and then take it and pass out without staying up another hour or two till they felt better. 

Unfortunately --It does NOT work the next morning when you're already hungover.  But it has saved me from dozens of hangovers, in fact I usually feel pretty damn good the next day. I don't even take as many pills as they say you need to.

Here's a website about it for more info.  And no, I don't work for the company, nor do I own any stock in this stuff.  [Believe me, I tried to buy some stock after I tried it!]  It just works that well, as long as you heed my advice on how to use it.   I hope this helps some folks and let me know your experiences with it.  Usually costs about $24 for 40 pills, and you need 1-4 pills for a night of drinking....but it's so worth it, you know.  Sometimes I'd pay anything to kill that pain.

I have to thank you for starting this discussion because now that I looked up that website I see where you can order it for only $14 a bottle there!  I'm ordering a couple right now!!!

Peace & Parties,

Just ride it out and remember, 'It ain't forever', and you know and i know that any thoughts of 'never again!',are BS. Have a listen to the Scotsmen's, Beer Bust Blues. Them boys got it right.

Good discussion topic. 

If you Google this question, there are all kinds of different strategies out there. 

One that I've used: buy a big bottle of those Vitamin B complex pills (you can get them pretty cheap if you buy the generic brand from Walmart or some other similar place). Take one of those before drinking and after drinking (before bed) and again when you wake up (part of the fun are all the bright colors the vitamins turn your pee). Combine that with lots of water and other vitamins and it helps a lot because one of the main types of vitamins that alcohol depletes from your body while drinking are those vitamins.

Greasy (but not too greasy) helps. 

And replace those electrolytes (buy a box of that EmergenC stuff). 

Chugging some water every couple beers helps, too, to keep yourself hydrated.

I drink a large glass of water and three ibuprofens PRIOR to going to bed. If I forget this step, then it's usually something greasy to eat (diner breakfast with eggs/hash browns and bacon, cheeseburger, chicken fried steak), maybe some migas with rice and beans, drink lots of water, put on a good movie, get comfortable on the couch and do absolutely nothing - assuming you've puked after waking up, if you haven't try and get that out of the way ASAP.

See now, that's what I'm talkin' bout. Feedback, Education bout films I may not have seen or forgotten bout'....Simple Gems. I am simply postin' free links to the obscure, With trailer when possible.

On the plate today (sorry, no trailer):

 Multiple Maniacs (1970), some of the best sample material ever.....

Worst for me is Raw Meat

 I was utterly fooled by the awesome sounding title. To finish this film was like pulling teeth- except my teeth were braincells and the dentist was a nimwit director.

Ahahah! I am a fan of Lynch films- but YES! I totally could not finish Mulholland drive, that moved bored me to tears and the lead actress made my face hurt.

I can't think of any David Lynch flicks that didn't make me physically sick... Haven't seen much though. But the worst gotta be Mulholland drive. Oh, and E.T. is pretty bad as well.

Due to the blindness factor, I use my Kobe Reader w/large print. I have grown increasingly farsighted in the past two years, so using an e-reader is a big plus if I want to continue to read.

Those emails are a good sign: GaragePunk is gaining power and growing!

Not as many emails as I'm getting each time someone joins GRGPNK Records here! Ha ha ;)

I have been to the Gulf Coast region twice since the BP spill.  Even though this post is a bit late, stuff is still going on pertaining to the big old oily mess. Crews [both from the state of FL and the BP joke teams] still inspect the beaches to see if beach life is alive and dig under the beaches to get the remaining oil/tar/etc out from underneath the sand. While it is not reported, there is definately ecologocal impact from this spill and BP is still mighty slow trying to help get this region some help.
