All I Want Is Just One More Day

Note: Blogger was having some issues last night, so here is yesterday's blog.

I got back a bit ago from an absolutely AMAZING show. It was Ludo's Broken Bride Tour. As soon as I saw that the tour was named for the Broken Bride, I had to go. Broken Bride is a considerable stand out in my library. The epic rock opera is something that I have wanted to hear live ever since I first played the entire disc. Prior to tonight, I've heard every song on the cd played live, except Morning in May. But to hear them all played as if it were one extended song? Simply amazing. I loved every second of it and didn't want it to end. When we reached the end of the story, I wanted them to go back to the beginning and do it again. I actually had goosebumps while they were playing in places I've never had goosebumps before. Seriously! Have you ever had goosebumps on your thigh? I hadn't had it either until tonight!! I wasn't even aware it could happen. Boy was I wrong.

Ludo wasn't the only band that took the stage tonight. I met a guy Without A Face. He was pretty entertaining. I don't think Greg, Patrick, or Tommy liked him, but I did. I find it kind of weird, because he sounded a lot like Stephen Lynch to me. Those guys LOVE Stephen Lynch, but when somebody does his shtick outside of a comedy show all of the sudden you don't like it? I can't understand that. After him was Meese. They weren't exactly my cup of tea. Sounded a lot like Coldplay, and I'm not a fan of them for some reason. I couldn't tell you exactly what was wrong with it, but it just rubbed me the wrong way. Their last song was pretty good though, shame I couldn't recognize it if I heard it again.

Then there was Ha Ha Tonka. I didn't know anything about these guys when I showed up, but I left wanting to get their stuff. They sound a lot like a Lynyrd Skynyrd or some other country like rock band. It was very righteous. They had a bunch of energy up there and I really enjoyed the whole experience with them. There was a portion where they ditched the instruments and just did an a capella song, and it was fantastic. They were pretty unassuming looking guys, but they could definitely belt out a tune.

That's really about it. I played a bit of Smackdown vs RAW 2010, but it's been pretty uneventful. That'll change this weekend. I'll be leaving early Saturday for Chicago and not coming home until Sunday afternoon. We'll see how that effects this nice writing gig I'm reestablishing for myself.

Later folks!
