So I'm Seeing Hinder and Shinedown Tonight

Actually, make that Hinder, Shinedown, Trapt, Rev Theory and Red.

I have so little desire to see this show I actually forgot about it. Seriously.

I was grocery shopping last night and Eric mentioned the show. I blinked at him. I've never forgotten about a concert in my life.

Until now.

I've never dreaded a concert in my life. Until now.

Why am I going? Because the show is a make-up date from X-Fest which was originally set for September. X-Fest featuring Avenged Sevenfold and Buckcherry I might add. Days before the show, Avenged Sevenfold had to cancel because of illness. I was o.k. with this because I was still going to see Buckcherry. Day of the festival there was a massive weather event in Dayton, Ohio and the entire event was scrapped.

Fast forward to today and the make-up gig.

So, I paid for a concert I'm not seeing...but I'm seeing, if that makes any sense. I'm trying to get pumped, because I do love live music...but I'm so swamped, I really needed the evening to work.

Notwithstanding that my actual job (you know, the thing that pays the mortgage and the hosting for Bring Back Glam!?) is insane right now. There's also the matter of Rock Gone Wild, Christmas, transcribing two interviews for this site, cutting a "best of 2008" show for Metal Express Radio and so many other things I seriously get chest pains thinking about it all.

More than likely, I'll post a review of the show tomorrow.
