Lacuna Coil/All That Remains this past Wednesday

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 5:39 PM
  • Mood: Awestruck
  • Listening to: Crimson Tide soundtrack - Hans Zimmer
  • Reading: The Last Kingdom - Bernard Cornwell
  • Watching: Fringe
  • Playing: Dragon Age: Origin
  • Drinking: Coffee
208 miles traveled, almost $150 spent out of pocket, countless (well, not countless) hours of sleep and immeasurable productivity lost, but Lacuna Coil seen live in concert. I am happy with this trip.

As you might tell, going to this show was a fair bit of hassle; our tickets weren't mailed properly, my brilliant plan to have a comprehensive travel guide on Baltimore went kaput, a fender-bender at the on-ramp to the beltway completely stopped us for a precious half-hour of non-rush-hour time, it rained all day and all night Wednesday (then all day the next day, and subsequently all day today, but that's another subject) so exploring the town during the three and a half hours to kill before the concert was not an option, and the opening act had the most unruly, potty-mouthed singer you've ever seen. Oh, and I had a headache for almost the entire time! BUT BOY WAS IT EVER WORTH IT!

Probably ever since getting their album Comalies sometime in 2005 I have wanted desperately to see Lacuna Coil perform live. I missed their US tours for Karmacode in 2006 due to various issues, and it seemed that pattern was to repeat itself with their newest album, Shallow Life. I had to pass on two more tours and was sure I would not get another chance to see them until they started promoting another new album, sometime easily three years from now. So I was understandably ecstatic when I heard they were a part of the Hard Drive Live Tour 2009 with All That Remains and Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster and were going to be in Baltimore on a Wednesday evening. I instantly snapped at the opportunity, I was NOT going to let this one pass me by without at least a monumental effort to go.

Normally, I do not praise myself, but basically I put the entire trip together. Baltimore is reachable from where I live, but it is not a casual drive, nor is it someplace you want to have to drive back from in the wee hours of early morning, which I fully expected, but I was determined to go, and brothers :iconrgzer0: (who has the driver's license I do not) and :iconindigowolfe: wanted to as well. So I planned, made arrangements with our grandparents to crash at their house afterwards (they live much closer to Baltimore and thus we would have to drive the least distance), bought tickets, put lunches together to keep costs down somewhat, and we went!

If you are a Lacuna Coil fan, or even just a fan of really good rock music, I can tell you that there is absolutely no substitute to seeing them live, in person. I have their live DVD but even that is incomparable to being there, scarcely twenty feet away from the stage they are rocking as if they own it. Try as I might, there's just no more words to describe how awesomely awesome they were.

I would have been a happy man to have seen Lacuna Coil and then driven home...

I'm not finished with my recap, but that's all I have for now.

Hey there, haven't seen you in a while. How are things going? Just thought I'd let you know I actually wrote a fanfic that DOESN'T involve Kaidan. It's Amazing! And so far I've been getting lots of good feedback on it. XDDD Hope you can check it out sometime.

I guess it has been a while. How's it going? I passed my CLEP exam for calculus very recently.

Nice! I don't even know how to do one step equations properly. :D

I've been doing good. But the sad thing is I'm sick today. I woke up with a really bad cough and I was freezing under 4 blankets. And let me tell you; they were THICK. Plus last night my MP3 player broke.. I'm using my brothers now though. XDD Other than these... things. I've been doing pretty good. :)

Well, think of it this way: once you can do missing numbers problems, that's algebra, and then when you've got rate-time problems down, that's calculus!

I'm really sorry to hear you've been sick. It does have some fringe benefits to it, though, like being a legitimate excuse to not do work and stuff.

It's starting to get cold here, too. I've gone from just boxer briefs to sweat pants and a shirt when I go to bed. ...oops, did I just say that?

You actually didn't read me saying that just now. No, you really didn't.

lol.. I think I've already got that down.. XDDD although; I don't think I'm quite ready to test it. XDD

Hey, another thing is that I was sick AGAIN today.. and I got to play Mass Effect all day. AGAIN. :D And to be honest; It was the most fun I have ever had playing that game. This is the really funny thing that happened though:

So while I was playing, I was listening to the music on y xbox, and I was getting ready to fight Benezia. And it was funny, cuz right as the two Commandos came out from the door, *rofl* Who Let The Dogs Out came on.. XDDDDDD I killed everyone in the duration of the song. It was HILARIOUS. You should try it sometime.

OH and I was just messing around on the Normandy after I had gotten done with Noveria, and then I went to talk to Kaidan, and then this really sappy song started playing and I was like, "ZOMG *falls off couch*"

Other than that my day was really boring.. XDDD
