THE VENUE:
The Sound Academy in Toronto

I don't really have a lot to say about most of the bands except for Texas In July. Of Mice & Men put on a great show, though I'm not really one for their messages. The opening band, Capture The Crown.. the clean vocals were unbearable. They use a lot of Auto-tune on the CD, I guess now I can see why.

Texas In July, however.. Incredible. Great songs choices, and they actually sounded good, and when you're talking about metal bands playing live, that means something. I did some crowdsurfing in a morphsuit and I think I might of kicked a few people in the head. Whoops.

Now, the interesting part of the evening. During the Of Mice & Men set, I was in the moshpit, and some guy thought it was a brilliant idea to start twirling around as if he was trying to evolve into a tornado. The result was his fist hitting me in the eye, and the ring on said fist cutting my face. Thanks, bro.

I found myself in the emerge room with blood everywhere and what was apparently a minor concussion; I didn't even know what venue I was at for a few minutes, and had a bit of trouble remembering what a "wallet" was when they asked me to get my ID.
