RIP Michael Jackson
Took me a while, I think I've come to terms with it now. The first concert I ever took my sister to. What else can be said that hasn't already. I'll remember him like this, one of the greatest performances ever (amongst so many):
Make the world a better place.
Michael Jackson
Make the world a better place.

Anvil (live) @ Uptown Theatre 5/8/09

So I had a chance to watch "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" and see the band perform last Friday. Wow! One of the greatest movie/band experiences for me ever. Even without seeing the band live, trust me, you'll love the movie. Go watch it ASAP.
A couple of vids I shot at the show (thanks Kyle for saving us seats). Not the greatest live videos ever, since peeps were blocking my view and I was rockin' out, but you get the idea...
Anvil - "666" live @ Uptown Theatre 5/8/09
Anvil - "Metal On Metal" live @ Uptown Theatre 5/8/09
A couple of other brief things to talk about:
1) Fucking not cool!
2) This whole post was written while listening to 'This Is Thirteen', which I bought after the show. Obvs ;)
3) My buddy Tom "officially" had the day off and drove the band around all day Friday. Ahhh, the stories...
