Ok, so the show on Wednesday night was fabulous! It was a surprisingly easy drive down to Greensboro (2 hours on 220) and I found the bar without incident. The first band, Taradactyl, was incredible. They're a kind of experimental industrial band. The singer actually doesn't sing...he just uses a voice box connected to his keyboard and plays the notes. Some people might think that's a cop out I guess, but the effect really worked with the music. Very rockin'. They're on myspace, and I hope they put out a cd soon. I'd like to see them again.
The next band was alright, and then finally OD got up. They did an excellent show and played all of my favorites, including Fistfull, Show Girl (at which point I got to get up and dance on stage), and their cover of Depeche Mode's Stripped. They played a lot of new stuff; some of it off the new EP, and others that are brand new and for the next album. One song, called Fucking You Back, was just amazing, and particular great in the context of the way things are going at work, lmao. :-)
So it was great meeting the band, especially J and the new guitarist, Mo, who I talked to for awhile. I also got to meet Violet_Sky who has been supporting the band and on their forum for awhile. It's kinda cool to go up to people and say "Valdyr" and have people know who I am. Kinda like that Orgy concert where someone freakin' recognized me from my board icon on D1. Crazy, but awesome. Along with that I now feel even older and more important, lol: one of my staff members wanted to know if she could put me down as a reference on her resume.
Last night Chris and Toni invited me over for TNA wrestling. Quite different from WWE. It's kinda like the cruiserweight fighters, but with even more acrobatics. Good times!
Then tonight I get to see my big brother!!! Me, him, and Heather (and possibly my old man) are going to Swagat tonight for dinner. So I'm looking forward to all of that. I miss him so much, so it's gonna be great to spend the weekend with him.
