So again for anyone that reads my blog like the last one I have to say sorry for no photos but maybe some people who took pictures last night will post them on the web a search will bring them up. I called about 4pm and they didn't know if cameras were allowed since it is up to the band. No since I don't live in Downtown Buffalo nor do I have a car if the policy is no Cameras then I would be screwed so I just didn't take it. I have to admit that the lineup before the show was pretty interesting, in a you had to be there kind of way. The concert sold out as I was in line.
I wish I knew enough about music to do a pro write up and say what kind of metal everything was. The first band was Soilentgreen I thought they played pretty heavy and where pretty good, oh yeah and they have some cool looking merch also. The second band was Chimaira who I have heard of any I would guess knew one of there songs and they where really good also. I wish I knew how to describe there sound. There was a lot of head banging and people in the pits and crowd surfing and all that good stuff you get at a metal show. The Headliners where Deathklok. By that time my hearing was a little damaged and understanding vocals was pretty tough. That being said Dethklok was amazing. The players from the show where on stage with the cartoon on a screen in the background you mostly saw the screen but you could tell the players looked nothing like the band, but that was still cool. They did have a story about the band playing the concert and a couple times had Deathklok on stage and then when they left the players left also. The only thing is from where I was standing the screen on stage looked like it had a middle section that was different then the other two sections but it didn't hurt the cartoon that much. I was surprised that I didn't see anyone at the show in costume. There were some other little cool parts that I won't give away. That being said I think that after season two they should tour again. The other thing that I would like to see is one of there concerts on DVD that would be cool maybe even make it into a movie where you see the animated band backstage and stuff. The band was awesome and the show is awesome and I had a great time. Yes there where mostly dudes and most ladies where with dudes but I'm sure there where some who weren't with guys. I would advise any one who can go see Dethklok to do so it is a pretty cool tour.

Hatebreed And MoreCategory: concerts
So last night I got to go see some Heavy Music and I had a good time. Do to the timing of it I didn't get to take my Camera but turns out I could have but didn't know that before hand. I would loved to take pictures of people in the pit during Hatebreed, it looks pretty wild and I did see a few people and this one cute chick take a pretty hard slam of course I don't know how hard to floor really is. So for those of you who read my multiple blogs or look at my pictures sorry I didn't get any it would have been good to have some at least of some of the fine ladies and I don't just mean the thin as a rail ones or the hottie bar tender.
The opening band was I guess a hardcore band from Cleveland called Scalrea. I liked them but think maybe I've seen them open up before but not sure. they were followed by 3 inches of blood. I only knew one of their songs but they where really good. I guess they way to describe them is the singers sound high pitched like Rob Halford and the guitar is really good, the one guy kinda looks like a young James Hatfield from the early days of Metallica. I don't know how they sound On a CD but live they where amazing. The two Headliners where Type O Negative and Hatebreed. I used to listen to Type O but it has been some time, I don't know how to describe there sound really it is kinda I don't know but it was a good time. I talked to someone before they came on and had a nice time, hey if you are reading this is was a nice time. The reason I say that is there where some people there who looked like I have seen them before but that I don't know aka FF or Famiiaur Faces. Even though I was loosing my hearing at that point Hatebreed was really good. And it was nice to rock out get some exercise and watch people in the pit. Hey don't join gym go find a hard rock show every weekend and go run in circles and crash into other people. I admit it isn't my thing but it is really pretty good for you. All 4 bands where good to listen to and Hatebreed was awesome and I got to see Type O Negative and had a great time. The lizard man was pretty cool between acts also. Then On Sunday I get to do it again and go see DethKlok.

More From the Dinner and marinaCategory: photos
The dinner was very nice and it was great that there was a good turnout. Some of the pictures where to dark to fix at all and some come out kinda crazy looking so here are some updated or edited pictures. OH yeah I think someone wanted to know how that beer things works it is pretty cool. It costs a certain amount and then you have different choices of beer and it has a little spout at the bottom it is a really cool idea. I also wanted to add that I did see a couple other cameras I do look forward to seeing other people's pictures posted allso.






























I figured in stead of heading all the way home changing quickly then heading back to DT Buffalo why not go to the marina and here are some of my pictures from that.


















Hope everyone likes both sets of pictures. I wish I was better with my camera at low level light stuff. I think one interesting thing is it seemed no mater what I did if the TV was in the background that tv part didn't change at all unless it got super bright so I'm guessing that has something to do with why things came out dark.










Missing Image ;(

I Had a good time not sure what if the last or second last one is my favorite. Hey maybe I could franchise out Peterazzi (kidding of course) and in Doha some one could follow you around and take pictures of you and others. It really was nice that there was such a good turnout.

Art fest and varrious thoughtsCategory: events
I have not downloaded my pictures yet so no pictures yet, I want to wait till after Monday's dinner and then I'm guessing those pictures would be more important any ways. First of all it was nice to see you (e:tinypliny) (twice) I hope you understood that I meant the Kettle Korn was down near Jim's Steak out and Sweet tooth. After I saw you it dawned On me I could have went with you and then gone to sample since they had 2 for 1 Shaken Daquris well I hope you had a good time. (e:carolinian) I hope you and your family enjoy the festival and that you had a good fathers day and got some art you like, I extend that happy fathers day to everyone. I also think I saw an (e:peep) yesterday but I wasn't sure if it was her or not since it is a peep I only know from postings. I also saw (I blanked on her name) That tall blond girl from the party the other night. I did try some food and did like the mini beef on wecks from sample. I bought art that I liked and also saw lots of people who would look pretty on my futon, HA, but they really would. So in my previous post I mention that there are people who want to save the livery and today they had there signs in front of the hotel lenox, I assume because the people who own that building used to own the Lenox and let it fall apart. I wonder how many of those parking places are legit. For example yesterday they where charging to park in Latinos lot and today in was coned off. The other odd thing is that some people where charing to park in the back lot and it was for a different amount of money. So land owned by the same company has two different prices, something was going on there. There was also people with signs protesting Iraq or maybe just war itself or maybe it is how America wants to be an empire. One of the guys there was also at the Pride Parade. It is a good way to get your message out with a lot of people out and about. To the larson's hope you birthdays are great and that you both get to see and spend some time with (e:ladycroft). I will admit that this cluster fuck of thoughts is kinda out there. I still have to find frames for some of the art work I bought I will do a little on line search and see where to buy them who knows maybe with some luck I get that done on tuesday. Hope everyone had a great time this weekend.

Good to see you as well! I was waiting for you to shout "HEEEEEYYY TIIIINNNY", but you wimped out!!! I see how it is. ;-)
I did track down the Kettle corn and greedily finished a full bag. I am officially a Kettle Corn Pig now. I guess we were going the same way the second time, but I think you were cornered by the Spock's Beard band roadies. Did you know them or were they just promoting the band? I think I have heard their music before - sounds a bit like Blue Oyster Cult, if I remember right. Do they have a local concert or something?

Hey, I was wondering about this concert... But all these bands are slightly away from the type of metal I listen to.
Thanks for posting an update. :)
