It's been a week and a half, and I'm still sick. Stupid cold. Stupid San Francisco germs.

Rob Zombie was awesome. I knew about 3/4 of the songs, despite the fact that I could only remember two when I arrived. But between Beavis & Butthead, MTV in the '90s, Q104.3 back when it rocked, and my friend Chris, I apparently picked up a hell of a lot of White/Rob Zombie. Dude, that guy used to be really popular. (And sidenote: I really miss Chris. How can I not have seen him in like four years?)

Zombie was a good performer, moving around a lot onstage, standing on the speakers, coming really close to the crowd. I was on the right about three rows back. The pit was enthusiastic, but not too dangerous, just the way I like it. I like that Rob Zombie has a sense of humor; the show was quite fun, aside from a couple of lame rock-show cliches (the huge frat boys moshing, the girls showing their tits, whatever).

Oh yeah, and John 5 is the biggest attention whore ever. Dude, seriously, you're not that big a star. And also, you kind of look like my grandmother now. *shudders* But I'll always have a fondness for him, since he was kind enough to give me a hug and photo many years ago in the freezing cold.

I missed most of Lacuna Coil, but I liked what I saw. I'll have to pick up one of their CDs. (Any recommendations?)

I've been so insanely busy lately; I feel like my brain is going to explode, and I haven't had much time for LJ. But at least I'm busy with good and interesting stuff (SuperVegan, WriterCon, and something so cool I'm afraid to name it yet, lest I jinx it).

And speaking of good stuff, more PIG dates were announced. Monday June 5 in Tampa, Tuesday June 6 in Orlando. I think I'm going to fly Jet Blue to Tampa, take Amtrak from Tampa to Orlando, and fly back to NYC from Orlando. I might even manage to get to work Wednesday morning.

And Saturday June 17 in NYC. *sigh* Pig in my town ... too cool to fathom .... plus there's Philly, DC, Boston, all yet to come....

That was an awesome show. I was on the left in front. Ew, John 5. (were there four before him?)
Lacuna Coil's most popular songs come from the album Comalies.

Where in the city is Pig playing?

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Pig will be at Albion, on 30th between 7th & 8th. It's usually $20 when they have bands.

*SO EXCITED*

I know that place, I've been there once. *mock proud*
:D
Will go. Dude, that place is small. Soclose to Raymond Watts.
*fans*
When do the tickets go on sale?

I don't know if there's a specific sale date. Albion doesn't always sell advance tickets. But if they do, I'll definitely post about it here, repeatedly.... :)

I'm much looking forward to zombie tomorrow night, I'm listening to the new album now and wishing the show was tonight haha. I haven't had a concert I was looking this much forward to since NIN back in november.

I'm really hoping I get a chance to meet john 5 [who is apparently now john five? okay...] because a few years ago I could have but I ended up going home =( ever since some friends have been holding it over my head *since they did meet him that night* so I'm like okay I MUST!

oh and that saturday in june is the 17th, not the 16th. I only remember cuz I'm having a party that day and already made up invitations. but yay pig, I'm excited for you =) and I'm up for the philly show if I can make it.

I will send you all of my Lacuna Coil MP3s. They are one of my favorite bands. I was there, looking for you. I was up on the left hand side. I had fun too!

[dizenchanted.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I HATED john5 too. He made me sick.

Sorry I missed seeing you! I can get some MP3s from soulseek, don't worry. What album(s) should I get?
