(in my opinion)
THE GREATEST SPECTACLE IN WRITTEN HISTORY

Are going on tour this summer! They're going to be at Blossom on July 15th (pretty sure that's the date). Who wants to go?

So I've been watching music videos on YouTube: Rammstein, Nightwish, and other European groups. I stumbled upon a group called Korpiklaani; as far as I can tell EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR SONGS IS ABOUT ALCOHOL. I am fond of their song vodka, mostly because they say "wodka." So anyhoo, after listening to alcohol metal, I discovered Pirate Metal! ( Read more... )

What a weekend! I think most everybody who reads this knows I went to Ottercon (Otakon, for those of you not in-the-know). I made new friends, and saw old friends, and had a jolly good time as I like to say. I also found about a half-dozen new shows to watch! I may have to quit my job to make enough time for them. I had a lot of fun, and honestly, ( Read more... )
