| | I really need to update. Get ready for a big one.
I ended up going to the concert with Jonathan and my dad. It was
absolutely spectacular. There were fewer people there than I had
expected, so Jonathan and I were able to get really close to the front
of the stage.
Dredg - Absolutely great. I'm just a big fan in general,
and their performance was right on the mark. The guitar player
did some crazy pedal switching.
As I Lay Dying - Incredibly intense. They'd start a really
heavy break down and then the strobe light would come on. Totally
nuts.
Atreyu - They were alright. The lead singer brought the mosh with him on stage. The crowd got really intense.
Story of the Year - They threw their $3000 dollar PRS guitars in
the air. That made me cringe a little bit. Singer cursed a
lot, especially for a band I considered slightly girly. I was
proved wrong though, they were as hard as the rest (excluding Dredg of
course).
Thrice - I had never really listened to Thrice, but I want to more now. They were powerful and eloquent.
Deftones - I was actually kind of dissappointed with their
performance. Rx Queen was off pitch and Chino didn't sing very
well at all. When Hexagram started playing though, all hell broke
loose. Badass.
That concert was great.
Nine Inch Nails didn't suck either. This rapper (Saul Williams)
opened up for him and he threw it down. His beat man did the
beats right up on stage, which is rare... or at least I think it
is. Anyways, on to the main attraction.
The first thing I noticed was the stage. The light carriage could
move up and down, so an indoor effect could be produced when it was
lowered. The lights were just sick.
The performance great too. They did all of their good 'ole songs
and their popular new songs (regrettably, they did Everyday Is Exactly
The Same, my least favorite NiN song ever), but they didn't do The
Becoming. Darn.
Other big news:
-I helped Victoria and Bobbi pick out their prom dresses.
-I got a job offer at Damm Music.
-I bought a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops.
Most delightedly though, I'm back with Sydney.
Life is great.
Peace Out.
