Halloween, as the world's second fastest guitarist, Toki Wartooth:



For reference:

Dethklok is coming to the Fillmore.

I have already bought a ticket. So has kbk and a zillion others. The presale password is "duncanhills".

Come.

So, Dethklok.

This evening, subtly_modded picked me up and we drove across the bridge to Berkeley (1.5 hours in traffic) to see Dethklok play. There was already a huge line when we got there, but we hooked up with people we knew about 1/4 of the way up, and felt okay about it.

This was about 5:00.

At 7:00, they opened the doors. And they went. . . slowly.

At 8:15, we reached the front of the line.

At 8:15:30, they said, "We are at capacity, and no one else is getting inside."

Seriously, our group is next in line to get in and that's when they call capacity.

I cannot begin to describe the crushing disappointment.

Which, indeed, makes this the Most Brutal Show Ever.

Argh.

I am going to see Dethklok. Friday afternoon, about 4:00, leaving across the bay with subtly_modded.

There will be Thunderhorse.

There will be Briefcase Full of Guts.

There will be Sewn Together Wrong.

There will be Murmaider.

You should come. It will be ten kinds of awesome.

Let me know if you wish to join us.

Dethklok is playing in Berkeley on November 2nd. I wish to go. subtly_modded also is planning on going.

Here is the home page for the tour; it gives the impression that it's a "free" concert. I can't find tickets for sale, which is, you know, odd, since the show is in 2 weeks.

So this gives me a horrible feeling. That is this: it's a totally free show. . . if you're a student at Berkeley. And you're fucked otherwise.

I am moderately displeased that Sewn Together Wrong was left off the Dethalbum and yet Briefcase Full of Guts was included.

I got a pre-copy. It's just awesome.

subtly_modded sayeth that there is a "Dethklok" tour coming up. We have already made plans to see them if at all possible.

Okay. Better to be Pickles than Dr. Rockso.

Like everyone, I wish that I were most identified as Nathan Explosion. Barring that, I figured I was closest to Toki Wartooth.

But the truth is, I'm Pickles.
