Ugh

So I happen to know the manager of Paylface. Got some free tickets to a metal show tonight. Ended up with a free shirt too cuz she kicks ass. Her husband also happens to be one badass guitar player (for Paylface). I'll tell you what though. I watched a show buddy take off early, and one of the most hardcore kids I knew in high school look at me and say "I'm too old for this shit" as we stood back after a couple minutes in the pit with dudes twice our size. I fucking hurt man. And I've seen shows. I was right there, up front for The Melvins and Tool, up front for Korn, up front for Marilyn Manson, up front for Weezer, so on and so on. I hurt like I ain't never hurt before. Kidneys ache, bones are creaking, and I think I'm developing scars all over my legs and feet.

But it doesn't end here. Just two more shows to tough out this week and I'm home free. Sweet.
