Sevendust...

Clint, Aaron, Mike, and I went to the Sevendust concert last night at the Beaumont Club in Wesport. Man it was freaking awesome!!! We had no clue who would be opening for them, so it was a nice shock to not have one band but four bands play before sevendust even took the stage. The first band was One. Their sound was heavily influenced by Sevendust, and you could tell, but they were really good.

The best shock of the evening by far though was the second band that came out and played. And that was none other than Wicked Wisdom. The lead singer of Wicked Wisdom is Jada Picket Smith. Clint and I just recently found out about this band from our buddy Steve, who couldn't go to the show. http://www.wickedwisdom.net Visit thier site. The were my favorite of the opening bands. I was a mere hundred feet or so from her. . . AWESOME

The third band was called Social Burn, they really didn't fit into the context of the show, because they were not really a metal band. However, they still did a good job. I personally felt bad because they had to follow Wicked Wisdom.

The last band, and main opening act was Nonpoint. I had never heard of them before, however everyone in the crowd had. This got somewhat crazy. People started standing on anything they could find in order to see, which meant I couldn't see at all. Clint got somewhat upset because of everyone's lack of niceness. I would have to say that this show sounded awesome even though I couldn't see a damn thing and niether could Clint.

When Sevendust came on stage, we moved into the pit. Atleast there I could see through the jumping bodies. I managed to time my jump that I was up when everyone else was somewhat down. They were awesome live as well. Once again though we were stuck next to these guys that were drunk as shit, I ended up getting beer poured on me multiple times. Clint got upset with the guy, and after a few songs the guy said that he was sorry. You gotta love being covered in beer, and what ever else is around. We watched this HUGE bouncer basically throw this guy out the door in one action. It was crazy fun.

Normally after concerts my ears hurt for about half the way home. Not last night. They hurt until this morning. Hearing things were not an option last night. No music on the way home. Mike and I splent and Clint and Aaron talked about Realm, Clint's new fantasy game that Aaron is doing the art work on.

I woke up this morning with a tummy ache and a headache, decided not to go into work because I won't be much of any help being grouchy and not nice. Clint called in too. So we are playing hookey together. I did cook breakfast Eggs w/ ham and cheese, and a couple peices of toast, and then we fell asleep watching The Fellowship of the Ring. I just woke up again a little while ago. Time to find something for lunch!
