Bacon Friday. I love it. Here comes the weekend. Ready, get set, go!
The new book I am reading below. Enter Night by Mick Wall. One of the better Metallica books. Chapter Two “The Cowardly Lion”. Interesting stuff. Not sure if I am on the same page as the author on some of his takes of events, but still a good read. The book just came out in America. Reviews for the book have been very good.
What am I doing tonight? Foo Fighters with Motorhead at the Fedex Forum. And what song pops up on my Ipod as I drive to work the first thing in the morning? Motorheads “Overkill”. Setlists.com reports Motorhead ends the set with the song. Cannot wait for the show tonight.
I stopped by Five Guys Burgers and Fries yesterday to take a look at the joint after my dentist visit. My dentist said he drove by the place at lunch on Wednesday and the place was slammed with customers. He then drove by again for dinner and it was slammed again with customers. Five Guys is located near PF Chang’s Restaurant. Get your burgers below:
Thursday evening was the Civil Twilight show at the Levitt Shell. Pictures from the event are below.
Yes that red shirt has skulls on it.
The Shell staff released 75 balloons in honor of the Shell anniversary of 75 years.
Cool stage shot of the Shell from the show.
We sat near a group of patrons who brought their own table with various snacks. Hmmm…. we should have sat closer to that table.
The Civil Twilight event was good. The group sounded like Moby, Radio Head, Pink Floyd, ect. The echo effect was on HIGH during the show. And so was the sound. Attention bands: Just because you play LOUDER does not make you BETTER. I worked MANY live shows in the past. I know what I am talking about. The quality of the music was good, changing from slow and trippy to a more pop, marching, U2 sound. I think this band would go over well in Europe. See a video of Civil Twilight here from youtube.com.
There are a couple of discount options I need to confirm. I will report back tomorrow when I confirm these discounts, but they appear to be good ones.
Have fun this weekend Midtown. Get out and Live Loud!
