… I’m so bitter right now.

/ Thursday, March 2nd, 2006damnit, I wanted to go to an opeth concert! im going to miss the one in spokane on the 10th, even after i made plans but i didn’t make plans to break my finger.

/ Thursday, March 2nd, 2006This one is special, too. It’s one of the three special concerts they’re doing in the US where they play stuff from every album (as I understand it). And, for some reason, it’s seated at the Chicago show, which is good, because I’ve always hated standing for hours whenever I go to the House of Blues.

/ Thursday, March 2nd, 2006I get to see them in about a week. Of course, it’s not one of those special shows and I have to sit through Devildriver. Still, it’s not everyday that Opeth and DT play in Spokane.

Ben
/ Thursday, March 2nd, 2006Well, that was interesting. Perhaps a write-up tomorrow morning.
