Richmond's Best Kept Secret

-
Well it's no secret that downtown Richmond is the place to go in town to get drunk with friends, deal with really crappy parking, police, and gangsters alike. What a lot of people don't know that once a month or so Gojira-X visits and plays at Wonderland. I really like Wonderland.

Janine and I went to hang out last night at Wonderland to enjoy a beer and friends. It's good to see the same crew there. I'm starting to get to know them and get more comfortable hanging out with them. They're all so nice and friendly and fun.

Opening the night was New Haven, CT rockers, Murdervan. Check their myspace out, they have a really good grungy, punky, loud sound to them. Janine and I agreed we saw the second coming of Kurt Cobain too, the pic of the lead singer shows that! They are winding down their first nationwide tour. I like 'em and I hope they do well.

Gojira-X always rocks and honestly as packed as that little bar gets, I'd like to see it wall to wall with people. It's a good time and if anyone is in town looking for a place to hang out, if anything come and check out the people that do hang out there, it's like a time warp!

I do believe today, I'm going to help Janine's mom pack up some and enjoy the rest of my weekend. The next 2 weekends I will be up to my eyeballs in boxes and movers!

Last Night

I had a ball last night! Janine picked me up from work and we headed to Regency to grab some food and pick up James , who come to find out is a huge Sevendust fan and a lot of fun to hang with, more on that later. We headed to the Innsbrook Pavilion which looks really nice as far as outdoor venues go. There was your typical heavy police and security force there, and I don't blame them considering the copious amounts of alchohol that was being consumed by everybody. There was some band playing already out of Boston, but I wasn't impressed. Come to find out later the guy I was headb anging with during Sevendust was their guitarist. Soil came on next and I'm sold. I had doubts about their new lead singer, but he had a lot of energy. By the end of the set he was down in the circle moshing with the kids and hippies who paid for those tickets. As it started to get dark, Sevendust came out and blew me away again! The entire show was good. There's never a dull moment between th...

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to ...

Here's a rundown of what I've been doing over the past several days: P layed with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, pla yed with my iPo d, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, and played with my iPod. I know, I've been slacking on the blogging, I've slacked on my radio station. I suck. The station is back on the air again, so please tune in, metalheads. I'm obviously updating the blog now, so that takes care of two birds with one big, smooth, stone. New Year's came and went pretty quick. Janine and I hopped in the PT Cruiser and rode to Easton, Maryland to party with her friends. I had such a good time with them. I can see w hy Janine is so close to them. They're all so laid back and fun and genuine people. We all got pretty tipsy...
