August 12th finally rolled around and we both took the day off to go the concert.  It was HOT outside.  Even a 12 dollar frozen margarita wasn’t enough to keep Ann cool.  Konami was there with their new Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone “Rock Revolution”.  It didn’t look all the impressive, I was surprised the framerate wasn’t even steady on a rhythm game.  One of the demos even rebooted the xbox and put some error dumps on the screen.

We made our way over to the “Revolution Stage” and we saw a few of the “other” bands before they began seating at the main area.  “10 Years” was pretty good and we missed out on Atreyu since we joined the mass waiting to get into the main seating area.

“Ashes Divide” wasn’t all that impressive, but I enjoyed “The Bravery” and for some reason “Busta Rhymes” was a no show.  I was kind of curious to see what kinda music Busta is putting out now.  Chris Cornell was awesome and Linkin Park was epic.  Especially when Chris Cornell came out and started singing “Crawling” during Linkin Park’s performance.

Pictures coming up in the gallery soon!

Ann’s coworkers wife was one of the acts and it was awesome, unfortunately the lights went out during her act and we only saw half of it.  All in all, it was pretty fantastic.  There were some real stars performing that night and I’d love to see them again.  I probably could have done without the first half with amateur burlesque from Vivienne VaVoom’s burlesque students.

Vivienne totally stole the show though.  She really knows how to capture an audience.  It was a good night.  I got to see 78 boobs (40 girls x 2 boobs – 2 boobs (for light outage) and got some good laughs.  It was fun getting to see the show with Jake, Heather, Stirling, and Katie as well.

It was do or die so Jake (coworker/buddy) and I left and got in line… for 4 HOURS.  Amazingly, they got a pretty big shipment in and we both lucked out.  This phone is everything I imagined it to be and more.  Two thumbs up here.

Ann and I are also going to our first burlesque show with Jake and Heather this upcoming Saturday.  We’ve never been but it sounds like it should be alot of fun.  Ann’s coworker’s wife is also going to be in the show and supposedly she’s smoking hot.  I’ll be the judge of that…  This is the company putting on the show: Burlesque As It Was.

The weekend after this one, the Adams County Fair is in town!  We’re going to go to the Demolition Derby and eat funnel cake! w00t!  Ann’s never been to a Demo Derby so I’m stoked.  I know for a fact she’s gonna love it.  Cars go smash!

After that weekend, my buddy Andres is getting married.  I’ll probably get smashed, if they have booze there.  Please let there be booze there…

A couple days after that… Linkin Park!  I’ve never seen them in concert and they’re up there as one of my top 5 bands so I’m excited.  It was a wedding gift from Ann waaay back in May.  She’s really good at planning ahead I guess.

Oh, and The Dark Knight is the best effin movie evar.  No ifs ands or buts.  PERIOD.

Did I mention The Dark Knight rules my face?

1.  Insane action?  Check!
2.  Hot babe?  Check!
3.  Impossible Physics?  Check!
4.  Morgan Freeman?  Hell yes, Check!

It’s actually doing pretty well on Rotten Tomatoes.  What are you guys watching this weekend?  You’re probably gonna say Wall-E… and yes… I want to see that too.

If any of you are planning on buying MGS4 or are a big MGS nut like me, you might enjoy this retrospective special.

Metal Gear Solid Retrospective

I’m so tempted to play through all of them before the new one comes out but I just don’t have that kind of time anymore
