An Address to the show goers.
If you are like me, and love going to metal shows, either local or large scale, you will have noticed the mosh pits.
Now, I love a good pit.
Lots of high energy, adrenaline, the music just pumping you up, getting slammed around by complete strangers who you know you could get along with because you have one thing in common. MUSIC.
However, where there is moshing, there are the "moshmonsters"
these are the guys who like to mosh because they like to hurt others.
I once witnessed a guy beat up a friend of mine because he wasnt moshing the way he wanted to.
I HATE this.
Fighting should NEVER happen at a show.
This music is supposed to unite us.
To be a safe place where we can be ourselves and celebrate and have fun with the music we love.
NOT a place where we should fear for our personal safety.
There are TOO MANY little boys who are so insecure in their manhood that they have to go to shows and flex their muscles infront of everyone to make themselves feel better about themselves.
WE DO NOT NEED THAT.
These kids need to grow up and learn that fighting is the most immature way to show who you are.
If YOU who is reading this, start fights, or know someone who does, dont come to shows or tell your friend not to.
You ruin it for everyone.
Now that thats been covered,
I leave you with this:

Titled as followed..
SO.
The main topic which i would like to address in the following post is titled as followed:
KINDOMBOUND.
In order for me to recount the week's happenings in a coheric manner, i shall order them chronologically.
By day.
SUNDAY
Junky and I were supposed to leave around 12:30
I got a text from him saying to wait till 1:30
Followed an hour later with a text saying to wait till 3 or so...
So we left the station around three or so lol
Driving down, I watched some episodes of the simpsons and the tick (nostalgiaaaaa) and then got a quarter of the way through the dark night by the time we hit the border. I turned off the dvd play to look as mature and professional as possible. (note we are driving a wildly decal'd life mobile)
Got through the border with little trouble save the line up.. The border guard pretended to ignore the attrocious state of Junky's washing machine damaged passport and we were on our way.
Then we drove.
We arrived at our destination about an hour and a half later. At this point it was around 8 oclock so we went and had dinner at a small (and freezingggg cold) diner. We observed that nearly every item on the menu contained some form of blue (or as americans (and french) spell it, "bleu") cheese... weird.
We went back to the hotel and went to bed.
MONDAY
We got up early and made our way to darien lake theme park. They gave us special media passes which we were naively mistaken to believe that they would give us special priveledges. From Junky's past experiences, there was a special media tent which artists went to for interviews and pictures... No such thing this year.
So with our useless media passes in hand, we rode every rollercoaster the place had to offer save for three (i use the word useless more in jest than in seriousness as the passes did get us into the park every morning and allowed us to watch the bands... and we didnt have to pay for anything).
The three coasters we had not ridden were the "mind eraser," the "sidewinder(or some such thing)," and the "ride of steel" (previously known as "superman."
We did not ride these due to various social or technical and maitenance issues regarding the coasters.
We made our way to the park stage where we witnessed Since October's performance, and later, Thousand Foot Krutch. We met most of the guys in these bands and TFK actually remembered Junky from a previous encounter.
TUESDAY
We woke early again. We discovered that we shared a hotel with Phil Joel, who performed that afternoon. We rode all the coasters again save for the "ride of steel" (once the fastest coaster in the world).
We also made our way into the waterpark to enjoy the massive water slide complex.
We watched Fireflight (whom we met and talked with briefly) perform that night along with Skillet.
Now about Skillet.
I watched Skillet perform a few years ago at Aquire The Fire. Their performance there was mediocre at best..
I was blown away that night. Not only was it a sold out show of over 5000 people easy, the band's stage performance was nothing short of brilliant.
They added a violin and a cello player to their lineup.
And flamethrowers.
It was good.
WEDNESDAY
The last day of Kindombound 2010 started like both others. Early.
We rode all the coasters again, as well as some of the parks other rides.
We witnessed the awe inspiring performance of Disciple, while we enjoyed playing frisbee with some new friends.
That night we watched TobyMac close the week off with another great show.
All that to say in closing:
I have new found respect for Skillet,
and rollercoasters do nothing for me.
I think I'll look to freefall base jumping for adrenaline now...
