6 months....
oh well.
back from yet another new england metal and hardcore festival. what a doosey of a time it was. 3 days, 2 stages, 60-something bands, doesnt get any better than that, oh wait, yes it does, how bout being with the some of the best folks on earth, your best friends. such a good time. it was depressing to have to leave. right when i dropped alli off i was like wtf, its over, back to school, back to work. it felt like our new home was the palladium/hotel. fuck, id do that shit every weekend if i could.
friday we all left, and met kevin up at the hotel, but whats a trip without getting alittle lost. i guess it was even lost, cause we knew where we were, just the directions were a bit tricky to read so we missed the exit but we ended up being on the right track. we checked into out luxurious hotel rooms around 330 then headed to the show. every band we saw was good, of course. we left early cause hatebreed was headlining and we just love them....not.
saturday we all woke up, got breakfast in the hotel. checked out of one of the rooms cause ryan, sean, and kevin were only staying for 2 days then left. it was another great day. one of the bands didnt show early on so that threw off all the set times for the main stage. that made it even more difficult to find time to run out to the car and get some food. we managed to do it though. ryan and sean left after terror, and kevin stayed with us. saturday night was pretty crazy. we didnt get back to the hotel till 1-130. after everyone showered it was like 3. kevin was getting ready to leave but his car didnt start. he had left his lights on friday and that drained the battery. the parking lot was packed so i couldnt get my car close enough to use the jumper cables. we were going to push his car out of the spot but we couldnt get the car into neutral so kevin ended up stayin over one more night. after all that we finally got to bed like at 330. crazy. i didnt have the best of sleep but then again i did.
sunday, up at 1030 to get outta there by 11. we went to bickfords for breakfast, wasnt the best. later after we were driving home we found a wendys and a friendlys down the street from our hotel, figures, lol. sunday was metal day \,,/ a few hardcore bands but it was all mostly death metal. i was dragging through the early part of the day. didnt feel well, was tired as hell, but i came around. another band ended up not showing or something so again, it messed up the set times on the main stage. this time we had time to get food so we did. it ended up turning into a japanese kung fu movie with using cheese nips as deadly throwing stars. hahah good stuff. soilwork, nile, and king diamond blew me away. i thought i wouldnt get into them, but they definitely kicked my ass. as did danzing the night before. the guitarist from the misfits came out for a bit and played misfits songs with danzig cause he used to sing for them, but then left the misfits and said he'd never play misfits stuff again, so that was cool.
all the new songs from as i lay dying, bleeding through, between the buried and me, god forbid, chimaira, and throwdown we all good. looks like a summer of good records coming out.
ohhh man, im missing it already. everything was better than i thought it would be. everything
good times, good fucking times.
