Nightmare Before Xmas Impressions

I survived The Nightmare before Xmas. Just barely, it was kind of a nightmare. Parking at this venue is a joke. people were backed up onto the freeway for about a mile waiting to get in to the place. But, this was no surprise to me, I've been to concerts at the Great Saltair before. The place was packed. We're talking like 20,000 people, all of which is general admission. Although it was packed, we were able to find a pretty awesome spot on the balcony straight back from the stage.

At about 8:00 the first band that played was "I hate Kate." Their music was pretty good and they put on a great show. Their set lasted about 30 or 40 minutes.

Then the real problem of the show reared it's ugly head. A 45 minute wait for the next band to start playing? It was kind of a joke. It needed to be a bit more organized. By the time "DATAROCK" started playing we were pretty stoked. Too bad the show they put on sucked ass. A couple of the songs were ok, but the show pretty much consisted of four guys jumping up and down in red warm up suits. All the while one little guitar player kept pelvic thrusting his guitar. Sad.

Yet again another 45 minutes to wait. The "Shiny Toy Guns" kicked ass! They put on a good show and they sounded awesome. It was fun as hell. They played their big songs and a couple of new songs I haven't heard before. I do wish they had played a bit longer though.

Tree Dude

I've heard from some of you who are skeptical about this guy, as to whether this could be true. So I did a little digging and found this article from "Britain's No.1 quality newspaper website", Telegraph.co.uk. In the article it talks of a documentary about the man. The documentary appeared on Discovery Channel Britain. Here's a link to the shows description. If I can find the entire video link I'll post it.

I've also played some of the other youtube vids where they showed more detail of his feet, it really showed how these things were growing from him. Seems entirely real to me.

Nightmare Before X Mas with Shiny Toy Guns

If you're a frequent visitor to my myspace page, you may know that I'm a big Shiny Toy Guns fan. Tonight I will attend a concert with said band, and there will be much rejoicing. It will be at the historic Great Saltair, located on the southern tip of the Great Salt Lake. I wanna shout out to my wife for the tickets. It was an awesome surprise.

I'll post again with my impressions of the show.

Tree guy

Alright. This isn't a typical post that I'd put on the blog, but this is just amazing to me. This guy is a tree guy. No shit. Honest to god tree dude. I believe this to be real too.
