The rantings of a mad man

Well here is some more progress on my list. This past weeked i went to the metal for charity event at Tempos thanks to Michael.

Here is another update. So this past weekend (25&26 April) Michael was generous enough to take me to Seasons Wither 3 at Party House next to the North Gate Dome (or whatever they have decided to call it this week). It was absolutely incredible!!! I have not had that much fun in I don’t know how long! We watched a bunch of angry jocks(man I hate jocks) get involved in a fight with a metal head who just wanted fun, I saw Michael disappear in a second after getting caught in a rugby tackle in front of him (HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAA) and I think I winded Chris, or at least was the reason he got winded. I found myself in the scariest mosh pit ever (Facing the Gallows) where punches were the order of the day and punched a few times I am sure hahaha, however, I still cannot seem to get a blue mark. Can you say superman? Also I went one on one with this awesome guy who decided to start a pit with a double close-line on me and Michael. Michael stepped one side and me and the guy pit battled lol. Apparently it looked dumb and gay but I thought it was fun! This same guy got me from behind later with what felt like a spine punch but seriously you won’t find any place safer. We crazy people watch out for one another. All in all it was incredible and Rebuked, Knave and Chromium blew my mind all over the floor!!!

Ok so here is the big one! HASTE THE DAY!!! haha. It was totally incredible. Although it was held at the rubble called Tempos it was still awesome. I did not really see many bands in full but found myself in the Haste the Day pit which was awesome. It was a pit filled with about a 100 people and you end up being pushed as if you are in the ocean. Really awesome stuff. I got elbowed in the lip but that was cool and what was even more intense is that i decided to do the whole pit with my shoe laces untied. Well rather i did not get a chance to tie them. hahahaha. It was overall incredible. And although Knave played in such a pathetic place they still were amazing. I just need to find a way to get some of the free stuff. hehe

This evening was totally amazing. We heard some really great music lol. This one black guy was terrifying. He can scream from a low octave to something that is even more high pitched that sound feedback. It really sound like some sort of prehistoric creature about to massacre everyone. Total intense. I would have to say my favourite was The Hammer of Redemption. They are incredible!!!

On the mosh pit side of things. Well i was in 5 different pits.

Haste the Day had a very strange crowd filled with, as michael puts it, sand-pitters. No one really started any pits. Odd.

1. Elegy Pit (Metal for Charity)
2. Torment Pit. (Metal for Charity)
3. The Hammer of Redemption Pit (Metal for Charity)
4. Die the Betrayer Pit (Metal for Charity)
5. R.E.B.U.K.E.D. Pit (Metal for Charity)
6. Stigmata Dawn Pit (Seasons Wither 3)

10. We Shall Embrace Pit (Seasons Wither 3)
11. Deity’s Muse Pit (Seasons Wither 3)
12. Facing The Gallows Pit (Seasons Wither 3)
13. Knave Pit (Seasons Wither 3)
14. Knave Pit (Haste the Day)
15. HASTE THE DAY Pit (Haste the Day). The most intense and grueling pit ever! (at least 100 people)

The Pits were amazingly violent. This one idiot though was throwing punches which annoyed me so i kindly threw him out the pit and he looked at me in shock and left lol. Overall it was amazing however if you ever go to Tempo’s take earplugs as the sound engineers try to deafen you. And this is no joke.

Witness: Michael and Chris and Shelley.
