Lots of happenings

I tried posting this once and it didn’t work…hmmm..

Lost of stuff has gone on in the past few weeks..I’ll try to get to all of it.

Maybe a month ago Harper and I went to see Cannibal Corpse, the epitome of American death metal. They put on a great show, but the audience was incredibly violent…we’re talking people flying through the air, a mosh pit that sometimes engulfed the entire floor, etc. Harper and I hid in the relatively chilled out 21-and-over bar area. At the end of the show the drummer threw his sticks into the audience. A group of guys fought over one stick for so long, a spotlight started following them through the crowd, and as Harper and I left, three security guards were still trying to pry them apart. On the train home we ended up in a car with a group of scary looking guys who were all conversing in German. Here’s a great example of death metal bringing people together despite language barriers: we eventually figured out that we’d all come from the same concert, and flashed the rock’n'roll “devil” horns at each other when we left the train. Rock on.
