Mosh pits and other shit

Last night I weant to a pretty damn awesome concert. here was the line up in the order they played:
Valiant Thor
Baroness
Between the Buried and Me
Mastodon
it was freaking EPIC. Valiant Thor was pretty fun to listen to, they were high energy oldschool style metal, good opener. Baroness: I had seen them before, and they had improved since then, but they still have the same formula: Song starts with trippy opening, goes into a couple lines of verse which basically consist of long "AAAAAAAAHHHH!!"'s (okay they were actual words, but you can't tell what they're saying cuz they were just yelling) and then they go into a long jam session where the lead guitarist solos like crazy, which all sounded good, except every song sounded the exact same. Their drummer is a beast though. Between the Buried and Me were awesome, sounded better live then I was expecting considering how technical their songs are. They only played like 4-5 songs, and most of them were pretty obscure, they didn't play some of their best songs. And Finally Mastodon, they were awesome of course, especially considering they only had one of their guitarists there, the other was sick. For a few songs they brought out a guitarist from Baroness, but most of the time it was just Brent Hinds (Plugged into all SIX of the band's amps at once too) the only problem with them was that (the same as with BTBAM) they didn't play some of their best songs, like Colony of Birchmen. WTF
Anyway, the whole concert we were right at the front, near one end of the stage, awesome spot. Got caught up in some moshes, me and my friend got separated for a while lol. Took my first hit of weed, which didn't do anything to us since all we got was the little burnt up tip of it by the time it got around to us, so it doesn't really count. All in all, pretty awesome concert.
Okay, in other news, me and another one of my friends got into our school talent show, we're making up a song/improv about the talent show itself, which is next Friday, so wish us luck.
Also, my number of Watchers has doubled since my last journal about a month ago, so thanks to all of you guys!
