My hearing is slowly coming back, and everything is almost back to normal. We just realized that yesterday's Slash concert was the kickoff to the North American leg of his world tour, which made the gig somewhat special. There was a live recording being offered after the show, but we passed on it — something we probably shouldn't have done in light of this information.
PAX is upon us. We'll have somebody on site to check out some new titles, so keep your eyes peeled for some coverage. Prior to that, we have a trip to LA to check out Call of Duty: Black Ops and then off to Seattle to pay Microsoft a visit.
Not much TV time today. We only watched some Rescue Me, but tomorrow, Covert Affairs should be available via On Demand.

Wow, that was one loud concert! My ears are still ringing, and I was even wearing earplugs to muffle the sound a bit. The gig was great, though. Lots of the new songs but also several Guns N' Roses ones and a few from Velvet Revolver. The vocalist
Myles Kennedy was damn good, and if Slash only owned the GN'R material/band, that guy would even be a fitting replacement for
Axl Rose. Surprisingly enough, the opening act,
Taking Dawn, was rather engaging and made quite a valiant effort to warm us up for the main course.
Prior to going to the concert, we watched Burn Notice (good) and The Bounty Hunter (entertaining).
