rusty_haloIt'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....
