Best of 2011! (My opinion)

Everyone's been seeing them, practically every website and magazine out there is naming off the "best of" 2011. So, I decided to jump on that band bus (not band wagon, bus) and do the same. This year has been completely amazing for me, so much has happened.

        Let's recap: This year I have seen (in this order), The Dead Masquerade tour (Drive A, Get Scared, Motionless In White, Alesana, headlined by Escape The Fate), the Welcome To The Family tour (Bullet For My Valentine, Three Days Grace, and Avenged Sevenfold), The Noise tour (The Make, There For Tomorrow, You Me At Six, We Are The In Crowd, and Mayday Parade), The Buried Alive tour (Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead and Avenged Sevenfold) and Adelita's Way with Art Of Dying and Emphatic as support.

    I have gotten the honor meeting Drive A, Nick Matthews (now out of Get Scared), Max Green (now out of Escape The Fate), Bullet For My Valentine, Mayday Parade, Sarah Ann and Jeff from The Make, Josh of You Me At Six, Taylor from We Are The In Crowd, Makia from There For Tomorrow, Emphatic, Art Of Dying, and Rick DeJesus from Adelita's Way.

   Just this year, I have realized my true passion is music, and have begun doing interviews. My first ever happened in March with Drive A's Jason Nott. Even though they are not broken up, they can guarentee I will never ever forget them. Not only were they the first band I actually really got to talk to, but your first interview is a big deal.  I discovered the amazing person that is Bryan Stars, and got to actually talk to him, which was amazing. He's such an inspirational persom, who I admire a lot, just souly because he is helpful and is doing the exact job I want. I hope one day to do an interview side by side with him, that'd be one true honor. I also got to the major honor of getting to do my first in person interview with Cale Gontier of Art Of Dying, and their manager TJ.

         Its been one hell of a year, with some up's and down's, but right now, I am focusing on the up's.
Below are some of the BEST things (musically) that have happened to me this year, and then a bit further down, I'll talk about my favorite songs and bands that have sprouted up this year.

Best Concert: Welcome To The Family tour.
Even though now, for very personal reasons, I no longer listen to Bullet For My Valentine, and some memories of that night sting I have to say musically that was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen. At the time, Bullet For My Valentine and Three Days Grace were two of my favorite bands, and Avenged Sevenfold is my mothers. I remember freaking out when I discovered the tour, and getting even more excited when a local radio station gave away tickets. We got insanely lucky and won tickets on our first try, only about a week before the concert. Just two days before the show, one of the DJ's called and said we were also getting to go back stage. While meeting Bullet was dissapointing, it was still amazing to get to say I have met them, what was even greater is I got to meet them and see them with my best friend. Yeah, it hurts now, because the very next day some shit went down and our friendship shattered into pieces, but I am still really happy I got to do that with him. It ment the world to him, as Bullet is his favorite band, and Matt Tuck is his idol, and it ment the world to me because I got to see him with his idol, and see two of my favorite bands with my best friend. Plus, they all did great, and Avenged Sevenfold had the best stage set up I have ever seen for that tour. It was all in honor of their late drummer, The Rev, and they had a very elebaorate grave yard set up on the stage, as well as they hid the drummer so it was more like a memorial for the Rev. M. Shadows actually had the entire audience in tears or nearly in tears as he gave a beautiful speech about his dear friend. I am not big on Avenged but I love how they still show their love for the Rev so greatly and are contiuning on in his honor. That's true friendship.

Best experience: The best experience was getting to actually hang out with Art Of Dying, mostly Cale Gontier. We saw them play at a bar called Porky's Roadhouse, and that night was seriously a dream come true. Litterally, people usually can only dream about stuff like that. That night I got to go on stage with Emphatic, met all of them, got pictures with a couple of them, was leaning on the stage for all three bands (there was no barricade), got two interviews in one night, and got to hang out with Art Of Dying after the show. It was the coolest thing ever! I often go back on forth on which is really my first in person interview, whether its the Art Of Dying one or Adelita's Way. I started the Art Of Dying one first, because their manager TJ was a sweetheart and helped me as much as he could, but I finished my interview with Rick DeJesus befoer I finished the Art Of Dying one. That was something else that was amazing to me. I met Rick before the show started at all, and all I did was mention I had questions for Adelita's Way. Without hesitating, he said after the show he'd do it. I was even more surprised when he saw me standing near him and he said, "I needed to talk to you, didn't I?" I was really surprised he remembered. Then getting to just hang out with Cale Gontier was amazing. I got to just talk to him for like two hours, we stood there singing "Fuck You", actually the whole bar did, but I mostly heard Cale. It was amazing, a real dream come true. You know they're normal people, but you do not fully believe it until you see it. I actually saw him dancing with his friend and manager, making look like he was raping him, and then get slapped on the butt by TJ. It was funny, and awesome to just hang out. I'll never forget that.

  I'd also have to say that the Mayday Parade concert was a huge deal to me, because I only got to go because the manager was really sweet, and gave me a meet and greet pass, tickets, and a photo pass. It was one of the best experiences ever just because it was the first time I went to a show and felt like more than just a fan. I felt like a professional that night, which was a dream come true.

Best album of 2011: Its kind of a toss up between several, but I think I have to go with the debut, self-titled album for Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, D.R.U.G.S. Runners up were Set The World On Fire by Black Veil Brides, The Drug In Me Is You by Falling In Reverse, Dirty Work by All Time Low, and Goodbye Lullaby by Avril Lavigne.

Best song of 2011: I don't know how to even judge this. There's far too many good ones that were released this year. Some of the ones that come to mind are, "I'm Here To Take The Sky" by D.R.U.G.S, "The Chain" -Three Days Grace (Fleetwood Mac cover), "That Girl" -All Time Low, "Heroes" -All Time Low, "God Bless You" by Black Veil Brides, "What The Hell" by Avril Lavigne, "Don't Forget About Me" by Emphatic, and so many more. So I honestly can't decide!!

Best COVER song of 2011: There's been plenty of covers this year, including the fourth installment of the Punk Goes Pop series was released. The best, I'd have to say is the Sleeping With Sirens cover of Cee-Lo Green's "Fuck You". That song is overly catchy, and I might add -slightly addictive! I also considered Artist Vs Poet's cover of the Taylor Swift song, "Mean." and their cover of "Super Bass." As well as the Three Days Grace cover of "The Chain." It was pretty amazing, but "Fuck You" got stuck in several people's heads, and it got stuck in mine for about three weeks straight.

Best band of 2011: This was a really hard choice, but I think I'll have to go with D.R.U.G.S. They just began this year, but have already gotten so far. I'm very proud of them, and can't wait to see where all they go in their lifetime as a band.

WORST album of 2011: Thank You, Happy Birthday by Cage The Elephant! That album sucked..it only had one good song, and it also won the worst video ever. Their video for "Aberdeen" is AWFUL. Go watch it, they kill the poor dragon monster thingy.. All it wanted was a friend and they go and kill it. It pissed me off so much, I saw it once -the day it was released- and I still to this day get pissed when I think about it. Its just horrid.

I also want to say I think the worst mistake made this year in music was Escape The Fate kicking out Max Green. That seriously was not right, I have to say. Escape The Fate will not be the same wtihout him, and I will never think Craig had the right to do that. Since Max was the last remaining original member I feel like he should have been the one who could decide who was in and who was out, not Craig.

Over all though, its been one hell of a year, and I wonder what 2012 has in store for me and everyone else. It is Christmas Eve 2011 right now, so I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. :)

Letters to Santa...

Dear Santa,

   What do I want for Christmas this year? Oh there's plenty of things...one of them needs to like six rockstars in my room. If that's at all possible, that'd be nice. Not in poster form, the real humans, please. I will return them, I promise. I still want them to be able to make music, and frankly, they will not be able to from my bedroom. I just want some time from the boys from Black Veil Brides, Adam Gontier, and maybe Jack and Alex from All Time Low. That'd be a party. Through in Matt Good too, please, Andy will be happier than.
        I also really would like it if you could get Max Green back into Escape The Fate, and Nick Matthews back into Get Scared. Those bands just will not be the same without them. There's plenty of things I want, but I won't use up too much of your time.
          Can I ask for a few more things though? I want my best friend back, I miss him greatly, its been very weird going through life without him, without getting to see him just about every day. I got to hang out with him for the first time in months yesterday, that was really nice. Maybe I should accept that as a Christmas gift alone. Yeah...maybe I should, please forget I asked. I feel like I am being greedy.

        Oh, and can you please help all the people in the world who need some help right now? Christmas isn't too great for many people this year. Lots of small children are being forced to learn the truth about you too soon, just because their families can't afford it. For some, there's not even a special meal to celebrate. Its just an oridinary day, when it shouldn't be. I realize I'm asking a lot, but it bothers me.

            I've been trying to avoid the thought of Christmas souly because I couldn't afford to buy many gifts nor was I recieving any. Then it dawned on me, that's not what Christmas is about. Its about showing people you care, and too many people do not do that ever. My weakness is that I care too much, I've always felt that way, and probably always will. I want more people to care about one another. It'd make the world a better place if you ask me. If everyone would think of just one person this year that was not themselves, they'd make two people happy. They'd be happy because someone thought about them, and you'd be happy because you made someone feel good. Isn't that what its all about?

        I guess in a nut shell, if I put all the concert tickets, money, iTunes cards, clothing and band merchandise aside, all I really want for Christmas is people to care about each other for just a day. Just one. Is that too hard?

          Merry Christmas to anyone who may have read this. I hope it is a good one.

Lots of Love,
Ariel

My first SONG review ("Across Oceans" -His Lament Featuring Cisko Miranda of Arizona heavyweights & Eyes Set To Kill)

I had never reviewed just a song before, but a friend of mine came to me and asked me if I could review their latest song, "Across Oceans". So here is what I thought of His Lament's latest song, "Across Oceans."
It starts off slow, and that surprised me greatly. Their normal sound is much harder, so the piano and slowed down lyrics surprised me. In the first view seconds of the song, the lyrics basically state that its hard to be away from home, and one could only assume it was due to touring or work related. I liked the violins that pick up about thirty seconds into the song, that added something nice to it. It was a great way to build up to their usual metal sound.

          While I found the screaming slightly hard to understand, it still sounded like whoever does the screaming knows what they're doing. That was good enough for me, only time its not is if they sound like they're going to hurt themselves trying to scream. I really liked how the screaming and normal singing flowed, sometimes it isn't very smooth, but in this song it is. I also liked the lyrics, from what I could understand. Normally, I have the lyrics handy when I review things, but in this case I did not.

 Over all, I do think this is a good snong. Not quite my style, but still good. I'd highly recommend it to people, espeically if you're into bands like Eyes Set To Kill and Asking Alexandria. Go check "Across Oceans.", and their other songs out now. They have an album coming out soon, I'll get more details on that.

Details for Immortal Music 2012 plans!

If you are reading this, that probably means that the plans for 2012 have been posted. I just wanted to explain everything a little bit further, mostly to prevent as much confusion as possible.

   I'm thinking it'd be easiest if I explained day by day, rather than go with all the special things first.

I will be trying to post the news every single day, along with an straight of music every day. It'll be two hours on Saturday on Sunday, as long as I can swing it. Obviously there will be days where not everything gets done because I was either lazy or not near a computer, but I will try for sure to do things as much as I can.

Now on to the indiviual days, on Mondays I'll post anywhere between two and four album reviews, and play a game of Would You Rather. In case you don't know what that is, its a ridiculous but fun game where you ask someone two insane things that nobody would really want to do or ever have to do and they have to pick. Its kinda a stupid game, but also sort of fun. For example, "Would you rather lick peanut butter off a hobos foot or make out with a monkey?" If that sounds familar to you, that's because I got it from Zoey 101. There are no winners, so there'll be no prizes.

 On Tuesdays, I'm gonna suggest bands and songs to people. They won't always be bands you've never heard of, but it can still be fun to get the feedback, and its advertising for them. I'll also be playing lyric games. I see them all the time on pages, and how you play is the page admin (in this case, me) posts a song quote and whoever guesses it right or finishes the lyric properly first wins. The winner will get a picture request, or sometimes a graphic request.

   Wednesdays will be a little empty. I'll make graphics and every other one post a band biography. Anyone who's been on Immortal Music can tell I don't exactly like writing band biographies, but I honestly need to. So I am going to try to get that done, that means there'll be about two of those a month, which'll help a lot. If I managed to keep that up for a full year that alone will be twenty four a year. I think...math is not my strong suit, that's kinda why I'm a writer.

      Thursday is a little empty too, I plan on posting a lot of lyric videos, the news, music, and that's it. I know lyric videos aren't anything big, but what I'm thinking is I'll probably make one new one and share a whole lot more that are outstanding to me. They will not be part of the hour of music.

Friday I will post more album reviews, probably the same ammount as Mondays, two to four. I also will be posting music videos. I will just pick out some of my favorites, so something like that, and post them. Like the lyric videos, they won't be part of the hour of music.

  Saturdays will have the music news, an article about entertainment things (probably mostly Youtubers), random trivia. I haven't quite decided if I am going to turn it into a game, I post trivia and see if people know if its true or false, or if it'll just be random facts. It may be a mix of all of it. There will also be two hours of music every Saturday.

  Then on Sunday, there will be a special blog from me just saying whatever I want. I do these from time to time anyways, and still probably will, but I am going to try to make it a habit every Sunday. It could be on any topic, or even really no topic. I also plan on doing something that any 90's kid will probably greatly enjoy. I decided that I wanted to do an All That inspired 'Vital Infomation For Your Every Day Life." I actually was watching some Shane Dawson video when he mentioned Lori Beth Dimberg, the girl who did vital information. That was probably my favorite part of All That, and still is, so I thought it'd be fun if I tried to do the same thing. Its easy really, you basically just say anything that's good to do, and then something random that is not good to do. For example; "It is good to cover your mouth when you cough, it is not a good idea to cover your mouth with your baby sister when you cough." Or just something stupid and funny like that.

       So that's the plans, hopefully I stick to them and that you guys like the idea I have. I am open to suggestions, just leave a comment, and if its good, maybe I'll try it!

  Oh, before I go, I feel I should say this. My original idea was to do videos instead of blogs on Sundays, but my camera's audio sucks, so I really can't. Once I get a good camera, I am absolutely going to do that, but there's no telling when I'm going to get a good camera. Those aren't cheap!

Plans wrapped up in a blankie

So I am sitting here at my kitchen table wrapped up in a black blankie with pink skulls. Its techincally a throw, but I just like calling it a blankie. I am sitting with it wrapped around me because I am cold, my nose is running and instead of being a normal person and just grabbing the jacket I had hanging not two feet aware from my bed, I just walked into my room and grabbed this off my bed. Its not even that cold in here, but I just wanted to feel warm.

         I think I've re-caught (I don't care if its not a word, I am using it!) a cold that I had. Wonderful. Thank you, father, for giving it back to me. How very thoughtful of you. -_- Not really. Anyways, its a week to Christmas, and only two until the new year begins. I've been talking such hype about my plans for Immortal Music in the new year, but I haven't told you guys really much of anything I have planned. I've been trying to keep it all a surprise until December 31, but I just was informed that my friends are planning a New Years party, so I don't think I'll be home to post all the changes.

   Because I am thinking of that fact, and I just sort of want to post it all, I think I will be posting the daily plans today. Some things will stay the same, and there'll be more added. Its sort of my way of trying to get the page more active, as well as the site.

   Also a side note, I haven't gotten to upgrade the site yet to a pro account. I have been talking about this for months, and being Christmas time, and in the middle of tour season, I keep thinking of other things I want. One of them being seeing D.R.U.G.S in concert. The updates will come later.

Here's what's going on today!

Oh how I wish I had internet on my phone so I could post updates throughout the day of what I'm doing on the Facebook page. One day I will, that'll make things easier. Anyways, while I do not know if anyone really reads what I say here, I wanted to tell people what I am up to today. It all involves Music = Life and Immortal Music.

             Yesterday I wrote five album reviews, Here And Now by Nickelback, Damage by Emphatic, Race You To The Bottom by New Medicine, Best Intentions by We Are The In Crowd, and Let's Cheers To This by Sleeping With Sirens. All of which will be posted today. For some reason, I got up and decided I was going to write album reviews, and instead of doing my adverage of three at a time, I did four and a half, and completed the fifth one right before I went to sleep last night. Don't ask me why, I honestly don't have a clue. 

           Those will be up today, and I will be trying once again to make my lyric video for "Fuck You" by Sleeping With Sirens. I have been trying for a couple days now and it just hasn't worked. I will try to get that done and posted sometime today though.

    Also, tonight I have my sixth interview! This one is with a local band that isn't getting the recongition they deserve yet. I'm hoping I can help them get more popular. That should be up tomorrow, plus I am going to take pictures. That may take a while to get up though.

So that's what's going, I'm gonna stop talking here and get to work! Bye!

Friday, December 9, 2011

Here's the game plan for today.

Ok guys, so here's what I'm gonna do (if everything goes as planned). I'm going to post the news here in a few minutes, come back here to Facebook, post a few new things into my "Band Bucketlist", attempt to make my lyric video that I was working on yesterday, post that (if it gets finished), post the album reviews I have completed. Oh, and I really need to post a Song Of The Day. I've seriously neglected that lately, and I don't know why! Its just been slipping my mind, I guess.

           I might as well go ahead and tell you guys what the video will be for. Keep in mind, computers are insanely stupid some days, and it may not actually let me make it, but if it does, it will be for the Sleeping With Sirens cover of "Fuck You" by Cee Loo Green. Does this really come as much of a shock to anyone? I mean come on, I've only been posting that song practically every day since it came out. I sort of got the idea to do this because of Shane Dawson, honestly. I was watching his latest video, and for some reason, it inspired something out of me.
Shane, as screwed up as his videos may sometimes be, actually is really inspiring. He's a goof ball, but with very good morals. I've been thinking about making a lyric video for "Fuck You" for a couple weeks now, but the one I made yesterday that got deleted was kick ass. You guys would have loved it. I'm going to try to do something similar to it today, but no promises.

Anyways, I am now wasting time that I do not have to waste. I need to get started on my work, because not only do I have plenty to do online, I also have to make cookies today. Sorry I can't share those with you guys. :P

I'll talk to you all later. I don't know why things are now getting posted in a weird form of a paragraph. That always happens when I post a video in a blog. Don't know why.

I want YOUR help!

The title is 100% correct, I want your help on something. Yes, you, the one with the eyes and the hair, with the face. You! Ok, so maybe I'm being a little weird, so I'll just get to the point. With 2012 just around the corner, I have been thinking a lot about upcoming plans for Immortal Music. I do have a few select ideas, but I want more.

             As many of you may have noticed, about a month a go or so now, I changed "the news" section to "the venom" section. I did that for obvious reasons, to fit the immortal /vampire feel the website has. However, I want to now change the other sections to something more suitable for the theme, and I am stuck! I really really, really, need suggestions for the album reviews, homepage (considering "the coffin"), interviews, calander, and biography page. Please, if you have any idea at all, post a comment telling me your idea. Maybe I'll use it. If its good enough, I probably will to be honest.

             Also, I want more fan incorperation this coming year. I want people to suggest projects in mind, and fun little things to get the site more active and all that good stuff. I will not tell you what any of that is until December 30, maybe even later than that, I don't know yet. All I'll tell you now is that I'm planning a lot more fun to be happening in 2012.

          I mentioned a few months ago that I wanted to do this project called "Album Reviews A to Z", but I never did it. Now, I am planning on doing it, but not the way I originally planned. Instead of just filling in the holes I left with the letters of bands I didn't do (like G, I think), I will start with an A band and go all the way through Z. There probably will be some inbetween, but ultimately, I will write 26 (is there 26 letters in the alphabet? I'm too lazy to count right now!) reviews one for every letter of the alphabet. I also want you guys to suggest bands I should do biographies for, albums I should review,  games we should play, whatever you can think of! Suggest it. :D

      Ok guys, I have more to say, but I think that'll wait until a bit later, because I am making a project out of this, and I have to make the project in order to post a blog thing here. I don't know, I feel like I'm rambling, bye guys!

Best. Night. Ever! (Adelita's Way, Art Of Dying and Emphatic concert!)

Best. Night. Ever. Not only did I get to interview Rick from Adelita's Way, Cale from Art Of Dying, and Art Of Dying's manager, but I actually got the once in a life time chance of hanging out with the bands. How many people can ever get the chance to say, "Hey, I stood there singing Nickelback songs with Cale Gontier of Art Of Dying" or "I watched Rick from Adelita's Way get litterally picked up by a radio DJ and another guy for no real reason at all while taking shots."

             The concert was held at Porky's Roadhouse in Port Charolette, FL, and I can not say enough good about this place. Its small and intimate, open three days a week, the staff is all really friendly and nice. Their owner, Leon, actually offered to help me out with interviews, and the bartenders, Nancy and Michele (those are the only two I talked to you) were beyond sweet.

          Everyone was really sweet, the staff, and the bands. We all know that rockstars are just normal people, but you do not believe it fully until you see it. I over an hour of time with Art Of Dying, parts of Emphatic and the lead singer of Adelita's Way, Rick. Plus, I got autographs, and as mentioned before, interviews. I never got to do an interview in person before, so I'm sure you can imagine my excitment.

          I got there around 6:30, and the doors didn't even techincally open until 7, and they told us that Adelita's Way was not in the building at that time. They dropped by, fixed up their equipment, and then headed out to the local radio station, 99x. The other bands were there, in fact two of the guys in Art Of Dying were just chilling and playing pool in the room. I talked to them for a bit, and left them alone.I was very surprised to realize that Jeff, their drummer, actually remembered my name a few hours later. They told me I'd have to talk to their tour manager about an interview, but Jeff said if its fine by their manager, he'd happily do an interview with me.

        While I did get my interview, it was split up between their manager, T.J, and Cale, their bassist. T.J answered the majority of the questions, but then after the show Cale helped me out with the rest. I was so thrilled, and they both knew it. I am pretty sure I thanked T.J, Cale, and Rick a thousand times each.

      How I got my interview with Rick was interesting. He walks in the door, and I recongized him. He got swarmed with fans, but after it cleared up a bit, my friends and I got pictures with him, and then I was just talking to him. I told him I recently interviewed Mayday Parade, and actually had questions thought up for Adelita's Way. I did not ask  for an interview, just said I have questions, and the next thing I know, he's saying "After the show, let's do it!" He kept to his word too, he answered about four questions minutes after getting off stage, then went back to the bus to shower and get changed and while he was carrying on with his friend's, he answered all my questions.

                Cale came shortly after Rick answered the first few questions. I was actually waiting on Jeff, but Cale was talking to a friend of mine, and he saw me standing there and asked what was up. I told him I was trying to finish my interview, and he asked with who. My saying "You" (meaning Art Of Dying) baffled him for a minute, but then I explained that I was actually waiting on Jeff, but if he'd wanna answer the questions, I'd be cool with that too. So he did. I only had three questions left for him, plus I added on. The interviews will both be up, probably sometime today or tomorrow. I will also try to get the pictures all up too.

        New Medicine was unable to make the show, but Emphatic, Art Of Dying, and Adelita's Way were amazing. Emphatic actually did something I never saw anyone actually do, except for music videos, where its totally planned. For their last song, which was "Bounce", Patrick, the lead singer, suddenly was like, "Who wants to come up on stage? You know what, come on, take pictures from the stage! Get up here." Or something along those lines. Pretty much half of the people -including myself and two friends- were on stage. Yes, I did get pictures from the stage. That was fucking incredible! I told them so too, I have never ever ever gotten to do something like that.

        This whole night was full of firsts. It was my one friend's first rock concert, my first one in a bar, and the first time I have ever gotten to just hang out with the bands. I have met people before, but its usually only a few minutes with the band, if that, so it was really something getting to "party" with them. The bar was slowly clearing out, but some people were still in there, especially the bands. I mostly hung out with Cale from Art Of Dying, for several reasons. A) He was hanging out with one of my friends. B) He was really nice, and fun. C) -This is the true fan in me-, he was hot. Cale, if you ever see this, I am jealous that you kissed my friend, not me. Laughing my ass off at that comment.

      It is not a completely off the wall thought that he may see this. He told me himself to share any and all pictures with them, so it would only make sense if he also read everything I said about them. It may not happen, but who knows, it could happen.

   I will never forget this night. Getting a ton of great pictures, singing and dancing for the hell of it with these insanely sweet rockstars, watching Cale fake rape his friend, and get his ass smacked by his tour manager. I am not kidding, that actually happened. I got a bit of a dirty look from Cale (playfully), because I said I wish I had the camera out.

       I heard some interesting things too, some of it will be in the interviews, so I will not mention that here, but I heard from someone who is a childhood friend of Rick from Adelita's Way, that he used to be a Chip-And-Dale's dancer. For those who do not know, that is a male stripper. Honestly, I wasn't surprised. He was dancing like he knew what he was doing.

    So, its 3:57am, I am going to cut this off and go to bed. Expect pictures and interviews within the days to come. Best night of my life, I am sure I will never forget it! Thank you to Porky's Roadhouse for having such an epic event, and thank you to Emphatic, Adelita's Way and Art Of Dying for being such awesome people. You really impressed me with your kindess.
