PSYCHO YEAH

Wow! Just got back from the Static-X show. It was REALLY fun. Reminds me how much I miss going to live shows. Pedro and I BART-ed it there (and back!) and ate at Burger King. It was pretty close, since arrived there at the destination BART station at about 7:30 and the show started at 8. We picked up the will call and it was all good! There were four bands: Blood Simple, Asasino, American Head Charge and STATIC-X. We arrived halfway through the first set, unfortunately they were my favorite of the openers. The place was a small club, looking a lot like the lower section of the Catwalk club back in Seattle. The club was called Slims. Asasino was todos en espanol, pero no se que los hablan. American Head Charge seemed like one of those massively overproduced bands that didnt have enough actual musical interest to hold someones attention (bleh). Static-X though, did an excellent job of using the lights and the stage format to their advantage. Wayne was excellent and the rest of the band definitely played well. There were sooo many songs that I didnt know, but they encouraged me to go out and buy the NEW album, Lets Start a War. There was this @#$@# guy who kept elbowing me in the head and screaming AT StaticX in a really ridiculously rude way. He got on my nerves for that and also for when he wouldn't relent after his girlfriend told him to stop. Theres always someone there to ruin it, it seems. Anyway, Pedro pulled me away right as they were wrapping up and we ran through the mosh pit all the way back to the BART station and made it home on the last bus. PHEW. Time to go to bed so I can present at the lab tomorrow morning!!
