MSGN comes of age

I have to say that this last Magic Satchel Games Night might just be the new standard to which all future events are compared. Dave & Jen, you guys rock! Perfect location, great snacks, lots of tables & chairs, and a great group of gamers made it a night to remember. I’m rather intimidated to hold the next one – maybe I’ll defer to Alan for August ;)

Again, thanks for having us, for giving us places to sleep and a great breakfast, and for digging my phone out of the couch the next day. Hope you have a safe drive back today!

Rise Against kick ass!

Or is that “kicks ass”… I never figured that one out. Regardless (not irregardless), they came, we saw, they kicked ass, and we loved it! Every minute of every song too, and I don’t say that about many bands these days. After a strange Deftones show on the 15th (couldn’t really make out any music and the vocals were up WAY too high) it was great to see such a tight band on the 20th. They played mostly new stuff, with a few older songs thrown in for those who remember their Fat Wreck Chords days. Even a couple acoustic songs – very cool! And the fans were really great too – reminded me of our singalongs at NIN shows ;)

This show definitely solidified Rise Against on my favorite bands list – can’t wait for a new album!
