| So raise your fist and drive around. |

If ever I was convinced that the world was going to end, it would have to be now. In August alone I have barely escaped the following natural disasters. Earthquake, hurricane, forest fires, flooding and lets not forget tornadoes. Thanks to Hawaii, California and of course michigan. Also, I saw Rage Against the Machine, and considering their 10 year absence, it adds to my apocalyptic mood.
Despite the rediculous traffic jams due to flooding in the midwest, the rage concert was hands down, without a doubt, not even close, barely even in the same realm as other concerts, definitely, positively, 100%, the best concert I have ever been to. Fittingly, it downpoured for about an hour before the show started. It only took the two opening acts to turn the grass section of the venue into pure mud. It is never a good idea to mix steep and rediculously slippery inclines with drunk people. It made for a dangerous human tobbogan run that ended at a metal fence. There were a few times I saw flashes in my peripheral, only to turn around and realize it was a person flying off a two foot retainer wall that served as a jump. They were landing on cement.
But, alcohol loosens people up, so I didn't see any serious injuries. Once Rage started playing, the shennanigans stopped, it was pure fist raising, word screaming, anti-everything action from then on out. There was about 15,000 people there and if you were to tell me that there was anyone there who didn't know every word, I wouldn't have believed you.
Well, the weekend was wrapped up by a great tour of Three Floyds brewery in Indiana. Between the five guys who went, we didn't taste a beer there that wasn't exceptional. Three Floyds might be my favorite brewery. If you like hoppy beers, this is your place. All in all a great weekend. Now, I have to slow down and get to Riverview, it seems that with all the summer busyness, I haven't been there in forever. I am going into withdrawals. |
