Sorry, I got a little carried away there.  But yeah&#8230; it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve reported in with my life or some random thing from digg or StumbleUpon.  Much like a spy satellite over Canada, I have very little to report.  <\/p>\n<p>Pretty much the only thing exciting that&#8217;s happened since I last put the proverbial quill to paper on this blog are two concert I was in attendance for.<\/p>\n<p>The first was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/Mae\">Mae<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uark.edu\/\">University of Arkansas<\/a> (YAY! Free shows for the win) and the second was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/Anberlin\">Anberlin<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/Scary+Kids+Scaring+Kids\">Scary Kids Scaring Kids<\/a>, <a href=http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/Straylight+Run>Straylight Run<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/There+For+Tomorrow\">There for Tomorrow<\/a> in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<p>Re: The First.  Mae had to have the weirdest fucking opening act ever:  The Memphis Pencils.   Mullets, trombones, and heavy psychedelics are all the words I think I need to describe this band.  I&#8217;m not sure if this video does the band justice, but it gives you a taste of what I saw that fateful night:<br \/>\n<center><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/A0cjSwRKbtQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/A0cjSwRKbtQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Other than that, Mae were fucking awesome.  They had some sort of strange dancing contest, which provided for many lulz.<\/p>\n<p>The second set of concerts, however, may quite possibly be the most epic string of four hours in my life.  I was extremely scared for my life during SKSK.  Anberlin fucking pwnd faces.  I&#8217;m pretty sure I almost threw up a few times, I was screaming so hard during Anberlin.  Which makes it all the more epic.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I got for now.  I know that&#8217;s pretty much the anti-climax for a blog post, but I&#8217;ve got nothing, and it&#8217;s late which means I need to go to sleep.  I&#8217;ll try not to be so slacking in my updating duties for you, Internet.  Just don&#8217;t leave me!  :3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Y halo thar, Internet.
