We just got back home from the
Danzig concert. The opening bands were Toxic Holocaust and
All Shall Perish, and it was a great show. Lead singer Glenn Danzig is starting to show his age (55), but the charisma and powerful voice are still present. Oddly enough, we were not allowed to bring in any cameras on the strict request from the band that absolutely NO pictures or video could be taken. Security was all over the place, and a few shutterbugs were immediately escorted out and not allowed to return. Damn ...
I wore my earplugs this time around, and I'm glad to say my hearing is almost completely intact, almost ... Next gig,
Queensryche!

The USA vs. Ghana World Cup match did not go as we had hoped, but it still a good game. Quite surprised about how well Ghana played, to be honest. It was most impressive.
We also watched some Burn Notice and
Whip It, produced and directed by Drew Barrymore herself. While it's not going to break any records or win any awards, it was quite fun and entertaining.
Later today, we're going to go see Danzig. Depending on how loud it'll be, I might actually wear my earplugs because after last week's Iron Maiden concert, I couldn't hear for two days.
