Alice In Chains/Corrosion of Conformity

The latter just popped up hardly 15 minutes ago. I'll get to that in a minute.

Things to do with my sister....I'll DEFINITELY be seeing AIC in October with her. Also at the show will be Mastodon [Yay!] and Deftones [whatever]. I had mentioned on Facebook that I was wanting to attend the concert. Brought it up to my lovely girlfriend Miranda [Hi!] and she seemed vaguely interested. Which was fine. My sister caught wind of what I was stepping in and offered to pick up the tab for me as I didn't have the funds to purchase the tickets early. I'm on AIC's mailing list so I sometimes have access to things before the general populace. Since she would be buying two tickets I told her she had to come with. First I said that she didn't have to buy the tickets for me. She insisted, saying something along the lines of, "I owe you anyway". I don't remember what for. Apparently she does so it's set in stone!

Now! Earlier tonight, maybe 20 minutes ago, I hop on to Facebook [as I'm addicted] to check on updates. I see that she's posted something on my Wall about a CoC concert @ Neumos in Seattle. I had no idea they were back together. As far as I knew, they were done and Pepper's main band was now Down. I know nothing! Back on track...she asked if I was interested in attending since she was already going.

So! It looks like I'll be attending TWO concerts with my sister this year! This all comes as a surprise to me. From none to two. I imagine I'll quite enjoy myself as I always do when I'm around my sister. This probably has to do with the fact that we don't see each other but once or twice a year. Not nearly enough! These two concerts will make it at least 5 times this year! I saw her a couple months ago. Then we have our annual family get together. Next the CoC concert followed by AIC [and others]. Finally, we have our annual Christmas family get together [probably at my Aunt Valen's, where it's at every year, I love it there!].

All right! This is going on longer than I anticipated! I'm excited for both concerts! I also have PAX to attend followed immediately by my trip to UK/Scotland. Those two combined go from Sept 4 to the 18th. I have quite the busy schedule come the end of July. I couldn't be more thrilled!

When the Sun Rose Again

I'm having trouble picking my first band to break down/pick apart. There's sooo many good ones! I'll just have to contemplate further. I'm not going to start with Alice In Chains. I feel that that's too obvious a first choice for me. For those that know me, that is.

This just means that you'll have wait until the title suggests. Maybe even later. Who knows? I surely fucking don't. I guess when I feel the initiative. Or inspired. Whichever comes first.

**EDIT** By the way, that's an Alice song. Off their latest album Black Gives Way to Blue. I just listened to it so it was fresh in my mind.
