Fights, Metal Mania, and cute baby seals...
one busy weekend. i am a party animal. and am no longer slightly deaf.
Saturday night - friend of friend's band was supposedly playing at a club near the homestead. we went over, found out no, band was Sunday night. instead, place was packed with people watching THE FIGHT (UFC, a mixed martial arts kinda thing, and yeah, Silva vs. Griffin, it was amazing).
a band i'd seen before came on after the fights. so it was fun.
Sunday night - metal night at the same place. first up was Consumned. this was the friend of friend's band. pretty good. i got their cd, stay tuned and i'll rip so you guys can give a listen.
next up was Brotherhood, from San Antonio. i thought they were good, nice stage show.
finally, a band i've mentioned before, and they were definitely worth it, Necrofaith. the fans got a little rowdy, 4 bouncers slammed a guy into a post like 2 feet from my chair before they tossed his ass outside. we left a little bit after that.
yeah, i know, waah, boo, pussy. but i left my mosh pit days behind, ohhhhh, say 15 years ago? well, 1993, i think. Front 242 concert, the Up Evil tour. i think it was '93. Ethyl Meatplow opened. anyhooo, i managed to bruise/crack 2 ribs when my midsection impacted with the stage. hurt like hell. worth it. but no more of that for me.
(the NIN show in 1994, when i got beaned by a flying apple, totally doesn't count. there were multiple, spontaneously-generating pits going on, random vortexes of chaos, and after a while we got tired of trying to avoid them)
after all the metal mayhem, go die of TEH CUTE. don't say i didn't warn you.
