Today is Black Friday.
I have to work today.
Help me @_@
Aside from that...
I went to a concert on the 20th for
Avenged Sevenfold and, for those wondering, I had LOTS of fun. ...Well okay, that's a bit of a lie. I arrived, via train, in the city at 10:30 in the morning, and the concert wasn't untill 8. PM. I walked from the station to the club where it was being held, which was a few miles at least (not sure how many) although on the plus side, this meant I got to the concert WAY EARLY and was fourth in line (I was also there early enough to hear the sound check, which was neat in it's own right). There was a long wait, but I got to talk to a couple really nice girls after me in line. When they actually started letting us in, it started getting crowded FAST (it was, literally, one big mosh pit). Those of us at the very front got squished often. And there were three opener bands (decent at best if you ask me XD ) making the wait even longer, and the mob was getting testy.
But once A7X came on it was all worth it. Here, lemme set this up as one of those Mastercard commercials XD
Concert tickets: $29 included taxes and fees
Train tickets: $44 for both
Getting to hear "Beast and the Harlot", "Bat Country", and "Seize the Day" live from within 10 feet of the band: Priceless
They, obviously, played more songs than those three, but those are my personal favorite A7X songs XD They also sang a couple from their new CD, which has cemented it in my mind that I've gotta get it, because those songs were awesome.
And on other news, for those who watch
fishgoat_inc, I'm sorry I haven't updated it in a while XD; But most of my stuff has been going to DA immediately. However, I promise I'll have some new art there soon XD
For a random note, my EXE manga collection is almost complete. I just have to get Vol. 4, 7, and 9. And I'm SO FREAKING JEALOUS of
zero_seven_four who's got a copy of Volume 7 autographed by Brad Swaile (Lan's VA). Damn you Nettooooo XDXD
Finally, I promised you guys Tandokucon photos, and now you've got 'em. BE WARNED: Their quality is not all that great. They were taken with a one-use camera in somewhat low light. I made them the best I could, however XD; There's also no pics of me, Pup, or Mew in here, but that's because my camera was devoted to other things XD
My favorite cosplayers at the entire convention XDXDXD A Great Saiyaman and a Great Saiyaman 2, from DBZ.
Miroku, from Inuyasha. Who didn't smile for his photo. Oh well XD
Speaking of Inuyasha, here's one, pictured with a Kagome.
FMA people! Except maybe that one on the right end. And the one on the left end is the only Ed I saw there that actually had a metal arm XDXD
Some figurines I saw in the Merchant's Room. Three guesses why I took this one ;P XD
Derek Stephen Prince, I swear! XD Aiih, his panel was funny.
Vash the Stampede (Trigun) and what I'm assuming is Chun-Li (Street Fighter) but I could be wrong XD; I didn't ask.
A strange vagabond we ran across in the elevator of the hotel we were staying at. You can never get away from those guys.
