Oh my god. Oh my GOD. I stood up there through their talks, waiting for my turn, literally longing for death. # Like, "You're our legal stats person! Why are you (slooowly) reading through EVERY BLOCK OF TEXT IN THE BIBLE FEATURING HOMOSEXUALITY???" # Not to mention at least one presenter broke out giggling when she had to say "homosexuality" the first several times. Wanted to throttle her # @ Ohh and THEN, stats-girl called the Bible passages "vague" and couldn't even defend that to the [Abrahamic faith following] girl in class who questioned how. # I either had to let stats-girl dig her own grave, OR speak up at risk of making group look uncoordinated.

| 13:30 | Ohh I don't think I have the build or the disposition to fight to stay at the front of a metal concert crowd. *spine and shoulders protest* #And when you're my height, it's probably a bad idea to be near the guard rails everyone behind you is grabbing for. Many chokeholds occurred # |
| 13:34 | On the upside: Dethklok and Mastodon were fuckAWESOME and I got to meet up with some really nice people/familiar faces ^_^ # |
| 14:18 | @ |
| 14:24 | @ |
Right, so as seen above, I went and saw Dethklok (with Mastodon) on their closing night performance at the San Jose Event Center last night :D Met up with
This was actually my first time going to a live concert that wasn't chamber music, so I didn't have any idea what to expect. Tips given were: don't fall, don't wear anything you like, and don't wear stuff you can be easily molested through. Check, check and check, and by virtue of being among the first in line, we got to stand at the very front and center of the floor space against the guard rails.
Opening acts were High On Fire and Converge. HoF, I actually rather liked--maybe the drummer more than anything else, but still a pretty decent show. Converge, I don't know. It wasn't really my kind of music, and I couldn't get into it. And for some reason the showboating front man seemed to be excessively, um, soggy. But even with earplugs I could hear a lot of the audience being openly hostile to the band (and I loathe rudeness not enough to start chowing down on the perpetrators with fava beans and Chianti but you know), enough that one of the guitarists started calling out people in the audience. So that was very uncomfortable to watch. Felt really bad for Converge -_-
Then Mastodon came out, and the crowd got violent. Most of the evening from here on out was spent trying to keep my feet directly underneath not next-to me, and shoving an arm up by my face so the scissoring effect of the arms behind me grabbing for the rails wouldn't cut off my air (I'm 5'1", see). Deani and PCrow endured what must've been the entire back row tumbling over their heads. Erin and I got our fair share of overhead crowdsurfers too, but at least here it pays to be tiny and short.... That aside though, the band was really something. I wasn't familiar with their music before this, but I may invest in an album or two now--I especially liked the stuff they played later in their act--any recs?
Dethklok = fuck me awesome. I'm not really sure how to expand on that. The songs were a blend of earlier S1 stuff and more from S2, with accompanying music videos ^___^ And it turns "Murmaider" is more enjoyable to me.. either live or with visuals, I'm not sure (sorry, it's my least favorite song on the Dethalbum). "Hatredcopter" was especially fun to watch Brendon performing, switching off between the Nathan and Pickles vocals. And they sound GOOD live, just fyi. Finally, they performed the fan song as an encore before concluding the show. For a man who I assume is used to doing things behind the scenes, Brendon was a great showman (not to mention he always addressed the audience "in character", even though for him that was actually three people, so that was a lot of fun :D) Plus he was very gracious to his bandmates and crew.
My classmate and I hit the merch tables as soon as the lights came up, but they were completely out of the Dethklok tour shirts in anything but XL, so I guess I'll be looking online. They also had some decals and albums for sale, and.. what looked like program books of all things, but that seemed inconceivable somehow (probably should've asked..) Considered catching back up with
Thanks for all the hard work, Brendon!

It's so creepy with the music and all the biting kitties and she's twitching XD (And the whole sequence is non-sensual, PITOF.) # ...HOW did he fuck over this basic character/premise so badly?

- 20:24 Got back home early tonight, on account of Mohinder's back on HEROES and I can't help myself. He's.. watching CLOVERFIELD or something. #
- 21:29 Euuugh, I hate it when Dad has porn on the TV in the living room when I walk through >___< #
- 21:35 @Epitope Yeah, I don't know if he does it on purpose or what. I always have to pretend I don't see/hear it. (Well, "have to" eh, I just do.) #

- 23:17 @gem2niki I try not to think about it. EVER. #
- 23:18 @gem2niki I liked the episode for a while! And then it kicked me in the pants for daring to hope they'd NOT shaft Mohinder somehow #Heroes #
- 00:34 So who's going out tonight to check out the meteor shower? #
- 00:44 @deanibean Here in California, I'm told I should look outside somewhere between 1-2am. Supposed to be a lot of meteors between then. #
- 01:48 Laid outside in my car with the windows down, a mug of cocoa, headphones on STXI fanmixes, bundled in layers & a blanket. Watched the stars. #
- 02:02 Then I came back in after seeing two (clear) meteors because looking at the expanse of space just made me think of all the shit I had to do. #
- 13:11 @raane Full blown porn. (Didn't really have the production values for something that wasn't regular porn, either.) MAX channel stuff. #
- 17:11 @raane I -could-, but all MAX has are overproduced "mainstream" stuff I don't like. And also I don't WANT to watch porn in the family room. #
After an entire starting season of not watching Heroes, I heard Mohinder was finally going to be back on the show. So I skipped out on figure drawing early, sat down with a plate of Chinese leftovers, and tucked in.
( Reaction post stuff--wherein I don't react to much that doesn't start with M and rhyme with 'bohinder' )
All right, I've got major catch-up to do on Maya homework, animation, and a certain Star Trek project. Back to work! T_T
