We just came back from the Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch and Drowning Pool concert. The turnout was a bit smaller than anticipated, but with the SF Giants still in the running for the World Series championship, I guess a lot of people stayed home to watch the game on TV. (SF Giants won, btw.)
Either way, it was a good show. Surprisingly, Drowning Pool opened ahead of FFDP. The lineup order was fine by us, since we were mainly there to see them anyhow. While Godsmack is a little more subdued compared to the opening acts, their performance was top-notch with lots of video footage, lasers and other gizmos. The highlight of the evening was when the lead singer got on a second drumset. Jolly good show!

We did most of our errands yesterday just so we won't have to leave the house today ... sweet! While we're baseball fans, neither the Giants nor the Rangers are of any interest, so the World Series is not really on our radar. It's funny to see all these people sporting crispy new t-shirts and jerseys just because it's the thing to do. Proud to be Angels fans for the past 20 years!
Later today, we'll put the AppleTv to some good use and watch a bunch of movies and TV series. We're pretty much caught up on all things DVR, apart from a slew of Caprica and Criminal Minds episodes we've been accumulating. Maybe we should dig into those ....
Hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

We kicked off the weekend in style! We stuffed our faces with delicious food, plopped ourselves on the couch and watched John Stewart's Daily Show (with President Obama) and Supernatural. Prior to that, I hopped and skipped from one game to another, checked out Dogfighter, Vindictus, Medal of Honor multiplayer and Global Agenda, but nothing could really hold my attention for more than 30 minutes. Not sure why ...
Tonight, we have a dinner date with some friends, and we're in charge of making cupcakes for dessert. Tasty!
Monday's going to be a rockin' evening, as we're going to go see Godsmack, Drowning Pool and Five Finger Deathpunch. Better not be calling on Tuesday because I won't understand a word you'll say.
