Last night’s concert was pretty rad

We got there really early, which we meant to. It was a fun night overall. We hung out in line with two people from my Evolution and Creationism class before the doors opened. I was disappointed however because High on Fire did not play or show up. I couldn’t find anything on their site, Myspace or Opeth’s site or Myspace. They simply didn’t show up which I thought was very weird. Neither Baroness nor Opeth made any allusion to why they weren’t there either. That put a bit of a damper on the evening but at least Baroness got to play an hour long set, displaying all of their awesomeness. Opeth played for an hour and a half, ending the show (as always) on Demon of the Fall and got the pit really going. It was a great night overall. We managed to snap some photos for once because it seems security didn’t care.
I should be getting my SYNT CD/t-shirt soon, I can’t wait. The stuff I’ve heard is definitely a different direction than their previous two albums. I also picked up Baroness’s first two CDs last night and they’re fantastic. All that sludgy southern metal really shines through on their first two CDs.
Meh, I’ve got to go figure out why my VPN connection to work is screwing up.
