We're about 8hr away from the Lamb of God concert. And hopefully we'll get to be right in front again so I can enjoy the show without my specs again.
Having watch their dvd about 5x now.. I never thought I would be this close to catching Lamb of God life but just 12 hours before this I was telling myself I wouldn't go if somehow I managed to get my money back for the ticket. It's just shitty how fatigue can fuck you up.
But after a good night rest and some southern comfort in the dark "looks like it's gonna rain" saturday morning, I should have enough to last me through at least the after party. Then I'll leave Elwin to figure out how to get us both back home. HAHAHA
On the downside though, my sup caught me dozing off. Not once, but quite a few times. Hopefully we're still cool since I managed to produce conclusive gel results and I did not let my work get affected. See, it IS possible to have fun and catch lots of METAL and still kick ass at work.
Oh yea. And those who think that we're having a hell of a time.. We are! So feel jealous. Let your jealousy rip your guts and soul out for satan who will then convert it to nourishment for us. muhahaha.
Ah. I'm kidding. We have to submit our reports next week and we do experience problems in the lab. We just have to you know.. metal it out and give everyone else the impression that we're having a way better time than anyone else (phy and kailin I'm looking at you guys) just to prove that we're well.. way more cool than all of you.
And as Carpathian Forest said... FUCK YOU ALL!!!
We really do miss you guys. Serious. ((:

_________________________________________________________________
yawns.
its saturday morning.
vader. was. fucking. awesome.
no shit.
We arrived 2 hours prior to the start of the gig.
and we met this crazy aussie death-black-grindcore-crust girl who had pink hair. and she brought us to this really cool pancake place to have dinner. after which we headed back to the venue.
Club Phoenix is essentially like the Gashaus of Brisbane. just that they're slightly bigger. like more pool tables, 2 bars, and lots more space. the stage was slightly smaller. but there's like a cement barricade behind the monitor amps. and a single metal bar to hold on to. a really good idea for a stage.
the opening bands were pretty damn good.
there was Defamer, this local band which plays death metal more towards the brutal side. not bad at all. the seven string guitarist was pretty good.
and there was Empyrean, another local band, sounds like a mix between cradle of filth and amorphis, kinda. drummer was good, guitarists were good. vocalist sounded slightly like dani filth. got their 6 track cd. no idea if its an EP or LP. too long for EP, too little tracks for an LP. well they're not very original but i believe that they're pretty talented. darren, will pass you the songs when we're all back in Singaland.
vader.
sigh. never thought i'll get to catch a Polish band in my entire life. and well, there we were.
got photos with 3/4 of the band. didnt manage to get a photo with the bassist. we got a drumstick each from Daray, and Hans got a pick from Peter.
let the photos do the blogging.

O God, the aftermath
How's it going guys? I'll just do a brief entry here. Don't have any photos with me. Will get elwin to upload some later. Forgive my long absence. I'm the only guy with no internet access in UQ. Bummer.
We've been away for the weekend as everyone knows. And it was good. Drinking every night. JD, Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Corona, Southern comfort.. Lots of new "friends". And because of them we had some good conversations, which made us quite messed up, turning whatever brain matter we have into coleslaw which we ate it in the morning for breakfast. Was pretty good.
And we took a few thrilling rides which made my legs went wobbly(have to admit). And phy, we wished you were here cause we're sure you'll be game for the rides and we'll have a really killer time together but oh well..
Then the beach which I really have much to bitch about for taking my sight away. I gave my specs to tame the raging sea but it didn't work. The beach continued tossing us around and yea. It was fun but my specs.. Damn. It was a good specs. At least now it'll see oceans it'll never see resting on my ears/nose. I'll have difficulty at concerts now since I don't think I'll risk my very fragile specs. Bummer.
That's all I have I guess. Plus we got some gifts settled already. So.. it was pretty good. Now the thing is to get geared in for work tomorrow and hopefully.. My SDS-PAGE would be killer. I mean I actually calculated the loading concentration this time round. haha.
And on the side note, new CDs to check out
Dark Tranquillity - Fiction
Graveland - Will Stronger Than Death(NSBM)
Ensiferum - Victory Songs
Marduk - Rom 5:12
That's about all I can think of. But please try marduk and let me know if it's good? Awesome reviews.
Take care all. Cheers and JDs.

alcoholiday.
hails.
easter holidays are coming up and being the hypocritical antichristians we are, we're glad to have this long weekend to kick the fuck back and down some booze.
the four of us have planned a trip to gold coast. and we've even booked a budget hostel for our 4 nights stay there. will possibly be visiting dreamworld and movieworld. and chilling at the beach.
on another note. we have gotten our sober fingers on a bottle of the green fairy. yes. ABSINTHE people. made from wormwood and containing thujone and 60% alcohol. banned in most countries around the world between 1925 and the 1990s. and is STILL banned in the US and A.
the shots taste medicinal and herby. and gives your throat a minty burn. been mixing it with lemonade and apple juice for 2 days in a row despite the next day being a working day. tastes pretty good actually.
i read up on wikipedia that the allerged psychoactive and hallucinogenic effects of thujone was nothing more than a medieval misconception. so absinthe is as safe as say, gin with a slightly higher alcohol content.
oh and btw. the booze IS really cheaper here. we're planning to buy a 24 pack of XXXX Gold (a local brew) for A$31. which would bring a bottle to about A$1+. cheap as piss.
well.
looking forward to a buzzy weekend/easter.
cheers and beers.
your slightly drunk friend,
Elwin
P.S. our address is
31 Ninth Avenue
Saint Lucia
QLD 4067
Australia.
so if you guys want to send us letters, you're more than welcome!
