^What happens when I get a camera and need to be “professional.” Okay really I was checking the mark distance and shadow placement and didn’t set the focus.

Friday night, we saw Slipknot and Coheed & Cambria and ignored Trivium. Sorry guys, idk you.

They had many noms to choose. My chosen poison was the jumbo hot dog. The onion jizz packets made the overall hot dog pretty okay. Miller Lite: gross. Iz beer. The girls standing behind me in the food line were nice and let me jump out of line and back in to check about card policies. Hurray not all Slipknot fans are dipshits! Both of them had lovely boots and chokers.

The camera police got my decent camera into the object check, so I took a few shots with my way cool nonfocusing camera phone. Coheed & Cambria was awesome. They could only play for an hour as they did not headline, but they rocked the house. The Slipknot metalhead kids were pretty annoying in their lack of appreciation, but you can’t get everything. FEELINGS MAY HAVE DEVELOPED FOR CLAUDIO SANCHEZ. It is possible. He has good pants. And vocals. And hair. And energy. And technical skillz. And bum.

Note: internet at hand.
While waiting for Slipknot, we watched two guys climb up rope cord ladders to mounted spotlights. They have two dudes at the front of the suspended hardware thing in Millennium Falcon shooter pods. Their only job? Not pee for two hours while spotlighting the frontmen. Because we were so far to the side, we watched set up of the Slipknot stage, complete with siren blinky light tests, behind the Mario 3 red curtain of dooooom.

Corey Taylor wore fancy pants and red sneakers. Observe as he creates comradeship with the children:

Highlight of the night aside from Claudio and Corey’s respective pants: two old dudes with grey-haired mohawks. Hells to the yes.

laura said the empire state building and the clouds surrounding it looked cool, and i demanded a picture. here’s what she sent:

The website bad bad teacher keeps tabs on school employees reported as, um, people doing not good things. It’s usually something sexual. The front page has pictures of each person and a short story about why they are being taken to court. Pretty neat.

If you’re in the state of Illinois and wondering if you have any registered sex offenders, you can check out this website: http://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/. After agreeing to not use the information provided for evil, you can search anywhere in the state and get their addresses, headshot, and reason for being registered as well as where it occurred. YEAH.

The 61820 zip code has 47 registered sex offenders. Sixteen of them are labeled as Sexual Predator, and one of them is labeled Sexually Violent.

This past evening I was reminded of last summer’s e-obsessions. Oh, it’s all personal. I don’t know what the rest of the world was like.
