I had a good time on Sunday but on the way home I saw this and thought it is a symbol for something not sure what but it at least seems strange.

TSO Was Awesome
Category: photos
So it is hard to really describe a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert if you you don't know their music. Think of classical music and Christmas music played as rock and roll with all most Broadway Musical type signing and that might be what it is like. Then of course there is how the concert has its first part where there is a a person who tells the story as the play music. Then after that part is over they play more music. Here is their myspace page . Yes I love their music but it is so much more then the music they also have a pretty cool light and pyro show. The thing about the lights isn't just they they do a lot of lighting and laser things but that the metal stuff the lights are in move as part of the show and are lite up to so it isn't only the stag, then sometimes the lights on on the fans as well. Next show starts at 8pm so doubt you can make it if you aren't going all ready but I'm sure it would be worth it to travel. You have to give props to the road crew I guess they where someplace in Canada yesterday and broke everything down and got it all here in time. After the night show they have a lot of work to do, not to mention the HSBC arena crew has to get things set up because at 11am there is a Bandits Open Practice (I plan to be there). As much as I like watching things at the arena if it wasn't for the stage crews and who ever sets up and changes the arena over we wouldn't see much and they get none of the glory.

Even though you aren't supposed to take pictures here are a few from the show. I have way to many to post them all so I'll guess at what ones look the best from the small size.

In terms of my favorite song that is a tough question that song that is in Italian I think that is real dramatic you here a lot of places is up there then there is that killer version of Flight of the bubble bee. I would suggest going it is worth the money if that is your kind of music. Well Sunday I assuming I wake up on time it is off to the Bandits open practice.

johnallen - 12/07/08 23:19

Yeah it was fun thanks. I like the Raphlie user picture. On a side note it is to bad that, that Christmas story play they did in Buffalo a couple or maybe a few years ago didn't catch anyone attention out and say live on in like NYC or someplace else. Next time I take pictures I'm going to post I need to remember to make them one size smaller they upload better and I can upload more at a time, I shall remember that for the sabres games I'm going to coming up and new years fun. I'm working the eve so x-mas eve also so could be interesting (i think need to double check that).

Punisher War Zone
Category: movies
I will admit that I don't know how to write a movie review with out giving away any of the plot to a movie or any details. When I walked in I thought that this was the 3rd Punisher movie made that retells the same story. That isn't completely true it is the 3rd movie and has nothing to do with the previous ones. The 1st movie was good. I say that because at the time it was before the comic movie boom and was pretty violent. I know some people think the 2nd one kinda sucked. I liked that i forget what wrestler was in it, might Have Been Kevin Nash, I think it was cause I called him "Big Daddy Dead". I thought that one was a cool story and had great action and was twisted and had great music and was pretty good, I think that one was a little bit better then this new one. Part of that is because I didn't know enough about this new one and the way it started out they didn't give any back story really. I still think it was a pretty bad ass movie with Mob Guys and gangs and lots of carnage and violence and it had a good story to it also. Did I mention some great music, I can't believe people would walk out with Rob Zombie playing on the credits what is wrong with people. If this is your kind of movie you will like it, if you like the Punisher you will like it I guess I would give it 3 stars.

What I wish I was doing
Category: peterazzi
Well yes there is something that I was planning on doing tonight but do to something I ate or my crazy insides I'm not doing it. Yes I would love to have to just turned 18 busty blond cheerleaders who just so happen to to be twins and be doing them, or two hot sexy Lantino sisters who look like the Telumundo women with the giant asses and huge tits and great face and long black hair, but then again so sexy lady who looks like Ziyi Zhang. But as nice as that would be that isn't what I was talking about. I wanted to go see the new Warren Miller movie at Rockwell Hall called Children of Winter. The problem was that something didn't agree with me, don't know if there is too much grease in my system or too many veggies not really sure. But what I do know is that the desire to dumb came out of nowhere. I'm not saying it would happen again but that is a chance I didn't feel like taking. It is to bad because if you have never seen a Warren Miller movie they are very good. They have skiing and snowboarding and sometimes some other sports and they travel all over the world and have good music in his movies. Plus then you have the event itself. They are good if you partake in the sport cause you get discounts on skiing and you can win trips and you get a free magazine for like maybe 6 months they are a lot of fun. Oh well I'll go home and watch something I taped until LA ink comes on.

Cheech and Chong Roasted
Category: tv
So somewhere I saw an add for Cheech and Chong Roasted. Last night it was on TBS. The roasts are on Comedy Central most of the time. Not sure why or how TBS got this. If there is anyone who doesn't know what a roast is (not that thing in the oven either). Someone famous is honored. There are a bunch of people up on a stage and each one of them talks about the person being honored but they rip into them, and often (most of the time) they also rip into the other people on stage. Some of the put downs are brutal. Brad Garrett was the host last night and he ripped into some people and got ripped into himself pretty good. I can't remember the lines so I won't " " them. But there was stuff about how he won 3 emmeys on Every body loves Raymond but for being on Till Death they want them all back. Tom Arnold gave it and got it pretty good. Heraldo Rivera was kinda dull, but that isn't his thing. Raphlie mae was good. Penn & Teller where interesting. Greg Geraldo was interesting. The guy who played the forgien kid on that 70's show was pretty good. I was doing a lot of laughing it was pretty funny. I forgot there was this one part where some people on video, the way the two where put together was pretty funny. Someone said Brad Garrett was one "N Word" away from being Micheal Richards. Part of what they where talking about is that he brought some black guy on with a sign that said Al Sharpton. The story went that he was supposed to come and couldn't or changed his mind so he found some guy at like a book store. All the guy did was make faces. Then at the end Cheech and Chong had there turn. I thought it was pretty funny and from what I understand what got the roast to happen is that They have reunited. I don't know if it will be repeated (like how they do on comedy central) but if you do get a chance to see it you might find it pretty funny. I will admit that I have never seen most of there stuff together I have only seen the one in "Nash Bridges" and the other one in "That 70's show" but still found the roast to be a great hour spent.
