So for those who read my posts you may remember that after Timika & Rory's wedding I posted pictures. I wasn't sure about the wedding reception shots though and I'm still not. Getting pictures in there was tough. First of all finding a setting that worked good in one spot didn't mean it worked good in another. You have these small lights and then it is dark. The other tough part is that on that floor and maybe others there is out side lighting and that shines through the windows. If that light outside is in the background the camera kinda focuses on that or uses that as the light source or somehting like that. So then I would try to use backlight settings and that didn't really work. I forgot I was supposed to finish up posting pictures from that and then remembered that once (e:Ladycroft) left me a comment. So we shall see how these look picking up from where I left off last time.










































































































































Well there are a few pictures from after the reception also. I think I still have a few pieces of that candy left, need to check, oh yeah at least the M&Ms. Hope you liked the pictures. Wish I could post them all.

So I'm pretty Pumped up to go see Metallica tonight. I love all their music. They Put on a pretty good live show. I want to see Lamb Of God who is one of the openers. Yes some people do the tailgate thing and pump music before the show. That would be a great thing to do if I had a car. I want to take pictures but not sure if they still do the camera check no camera thing so I'm going early and hopefully I can find out either way, and if no Cameras then take it back home. I'm posting now since I have a day off. It felt so good to sleep in. We shall see what to do about eating based on if I have to come back home or not. In any event it should be a great time. Hopefully I will have pictures to post soon. That assumes they don't sue me we shall see what happens. Yes is the answer to the question are they my favorite band. Also love the old and the new stuff and even the in the middle stuff (like um load and reload).

First of all for those who read previous posts It was the first time I saw a Disney 3D movie. I have seen 3D before but it was oh so long ago with one red and one blue side of the glasses.

(e:Theecarey) Had a great idea of going out and I'm glad I did. In terms of (e:peeps) there was (e:Jim) , (e:James) , (e:Mrmike), (e:Vincent) , (e:terry), (e:Paul), (e:Matthew), (e:Mike) and (e:Libertad) and then a few more people also. The Food later on and drinks and everything was a great time and it was great to see everyone out, that should be done more often. I had to start with a Strawberry Banana Martini it was very tasty and then (e:Theecarey)'s "Dirty Navel" looked so tasty and it was kinda chocolate taste to it.

It was the first (e:strip) event that I didn't really document. It was dark and such and didn't want to blind anyone. Here is the take on the bars.

Fugazi get a bigger sign then just a billboard out front I missed it. But maybe that is the point that you have to know where it is so no one goes in to the wrong place by mistake. Great tasting drinks by the way. I love the wood inside it makes it feel like an old time bar you would see in a movie or something. It would be great to film a vampire movie there just where the lights where add candles it looks like those used to be gas lights at one time.

Cathoderey : I don't get the entire buy a drink then get a chip for another free thing, thanks to the person who explained it to me. Well I guess it is a way to handle money less and if you don't want to buy someone a drink you can hand them the chip. Love the huge TV in the Sabres area wish I had a TV like that.

Frizzy's awesome lots of gorgeous ladies, plus they have bubble hockey, I need to go back there sometime again.

Thanks to all it was a great night

So On Tuesday I went to see Metallica. In some ways it turned out to be strange the entire exprence really was but also very good. I took the day off of work (if you are reading this thanks boss) and slept in. I went down to the Arena early so that I could find out about taking pictures. So I turned out Cameras where allowed. Yes around 4pm there was a small line. So I go over to Benchwarmers. They are having like a preshow thing there. No tables where free so I left. It is really a cool place. Looking back I was an Idiot, I should have ate at the bar, well I assume you could have tobad I didn't think of that then. If I would have done that, then when I bought merch I wouldn't have worried about spilling food and I would have it all, and my next day wouldn't have been ruined. When that Happened I was so pissed.
1. At my self for not paying more attenion
2. At my self for not just thinking to put my gear on
3. At who ever the no good dirty fucking low as snake in the grass fucking fake ass Metallica fan who would do something that low
4. Anyone in my section who saw the miss dead and didn't say anything to that ass fuck (assuming they knew and saw).

Well after not eating at benchwarmers I made a decesion that seemed good at the time but maybe based on what happened wasn't. I decide to just get in line and wait. Maybe I could have ate at pearl st. I forgot about them but everyplace else seemed so far from the arena that I figured just wait in line. When I walked in it was odd to be in so soon I got to the merch area and I was the only one there some of the prices whern't up yet. I should have taken that as a sign to eat everything then get merch then go to my seat. At the time it blew me away I'm used to having a big line in front of me.

Band wise Volbeat was pretty good and Lamb Of God was pretty good to. Could understand is talk but not his singing I just figured that is how he sings. Metallica was amazing. Well here are some pictures from the show. I'm just going to put up the Metallica Pictures.

































































































































Well if you didn't get enough Pictures you can allways go to my webshots page. Also there is a site called livemettalica that I haven't checked out yet where you can download any show they do, for a fee not sure how much. I May have to do the Buffalo show but we shall see. I thought they did a pretty good set list and mixed in old and New I just wish they also played Welcome Home (Sanitaruim) and For Whom the Bells Toll, but It was a great time even with the loss of my stuff. I guess that should teach me to either not buy stuff, pay more attention, don't be so picture obbessed, all ways put on what you buy or a combo of things, I know the next time a go to something I'm putting my stuff on like how I do. Hey I thought San Fran shirt and Jacket I match it matches the band and was feeling way to good about my self maybe that is the lesson to be learned.

First of all anyone who has read or looked at my pictures feel free to take them and post them on your site or your page or your facebook. I haven't put any really up there for 2 reasons. Facebook is more about someone presenting a certain picture of them selves often, I don't mean that in a bad way. So I didn't want to post any pictures up there that someone might not like of them selves. The other issue was I wasn't sure of the quality issue. Maybe those two are really one issue. But in facebook I wouldn't want to put a picture up that looks dark on someone's page. I think all of these pictures are going to look odd but some of them came out pretty good printed so on here I'm going to kinda guess and see what we get.










































































































Well Time Wise that is it. Hoping going out tonight will be a great time.
