Alex Scordelis @alexscordelis With Mike Love in the headlines, I figured l'd dust off my favorite Mike Love story. Ten years ago, I went with my Dad and my friend Kayvon to see Mike Love & the Beach Boys. We had front row seats. There was no opening act. The Beach Boys played two sets with an intermission. At the break, Kayvon says he wants some nachos. So we go up to the concession stand. Kayvon buys the biggest platter of nachos l've ever seen. Just enormous. As he was paying, the Beach Boys start their second set. I said, "Let's go back to the seats." Kayvon said, "I can't eat these nachos in the front row."

I said, "What are you talking about? The Beach Boys don't care if you're eating nachos." So we go back to our seats. Everyone's standing and dancing. The Beach Boys are playing "Fun, Fun, Fun." Kayvon sits down and starts eating his nachos. Immediately, Mike Love zeros in on Kayvon and glares at him while he's singing "Fun, Fun, Fun." As soon as the song is over, Mike Love says, "There's a guy in the front row who is just shoveling nachos in his face. Can I get a spot?" So they put a spotlight on Kayvon. Mike Love says, "How are those nachos, guy? I'm up here trying to sing and this fella's stuffing nachos in his mouth. He's got nacho cheese all over his face. Can I get him a towel to wipe off this nacho cheese?" So the drummer tosses Mike Love one of his unused sweat rags, and Mike Love hands it to Kayvon and says, "Wipe that damn nacho cheese off your face."

For the rest of the show, in between songs, Mike Love would look at Kayvon and say something like, "Are you done with those nachos yet?" I guess the lesson of this story is, if you ever go see Mike Love and the Beach Boys, and you're in the front row, don't eat nachos. A lot of people are pointing out that you SHOULD eat nachos in front of Mike Love. So yes, please, if you go see the Beach Boys, sit in front and eat nachos. Some are asking if this story is true. It is. It took place on 8/2/09 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA. Here's a photo I took of Mike Love scolding Kayvon for eating nachos.

Today’s news has me once again thinking about the time Mike Love was driven half mad by someone in the audience eating nachos.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Time to post it again.

Thought I’d share this lil mermaid while it’s still #mermay

He did very well!

Adorable!

Recently had the pleasure of turning our local goth Courtney Kain, into the spooky queen she is. These will be stickers in the future, keep an eye out for them. #artistsonbsky

Watching Jason Mantzoukas on @taskmaster.tv is the only thing that makes me feel patriotic anymore. #taskmaster

It being Cinco de Mayo I’m resharing this paper doll I did two years ago of Frida Kahlo. Fun fact, today is not Mexican Independence Day, that’s actually Sept. 16th. Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. #artistsonbsky

I had the same thought!

Let’s get into bird watching together. Embrace our 40s fully. 💖

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

For the last year I’ve been making time to sketch David Tennant’s face regularly as a personal challenge. I did a side by comparison & surprised myself. I find his face very challenging. Nice to know that at 41 I’m not stagnating. I don’t have to walk into the ocean just yet. #davidtennant

🧂🥔 I had a random idea hit me last summer and quickly sketched it out and then it’s been waiting in limbo ever since. I present to you, flying salt potatoes. Inspired by that old flying toasters screen saver. I’ve been thinking it’d make a fun sticker. #artistsonbsky

I’m a working illustrator & graphic designer and I’m open for commissions. DM me to inquire. #artistsonbsky

🌿 It’s Earth Day so I’m sharing some leafy vibes from years past. #artistsonbsky

Happy Easter & 4/20 to all those who celebrate. May your day be filled w sweet treats and good vibes. #artistsonbsky

He looks so much like Spike Spiegel here.

It’s David Tennant’s 54th birthday today. I’ve been drawing his face since about 2011 and over time he’s definitely become my comfort sketch subject and one of my fave actors. Here’s a few recentish drawings of my muse. #davidtennant

Looooove him! Can’t wait.

One of the perks of being married to an artist, you get an action figure illustration too. I’m finding as I make these you learn a lot about the subject even if it’s yourself. It was fun deciding what things suited Husbot best, with his input of course. #starterpacknoai @strikerobi.bsky.social

It’s Peter Capaldi’s 67th birthday today. My fave Doctor & an inspiration to me as a creative person. He acts, directs, he draws, and makes music. On top of all that his taste is impeccable, I always love his sense of fashion & taste in music & art. Here’s a few recentish drawings. #artistsonbsky

Not lovin Ai action figures. Making mine the old fashioned way has been fun & seeing everyone else participating is encouraging. Support real artists, that Ai garbage is built on the backs of artists like myself by stealing directly from us. Thanks to @patouret for starting this #starterpacknoai

#starterpacknoAI car j’avais oublié de le poster ici aussi !!

Here’s a recently completed commission! This was a lot of fun to bring to life. I’m gearing up for another round of commissions so DM me if you are interested. #artistsonbsky

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day y’all! Here in Syracuse the day is so beloved we have a Saint Patrick’s Day season. Here’s my little ode to the Irish Street light over in Tipp Hill. Husbot is making us some corned beef & salt potatoes tonight, one of our traditions since moving to Syracuse. #artistsonbsky

Demi Moore losing to Mikey Madison should be a post-credits scene to The Substance.
