....aaaand by "NEHMF", I mean the New England Hardcore and Metal Festival!



Alright, to be more accurate, ONE day until the NEHMF since the festival officially kick-starts on Friday (with the Megadeth-powered Gigantour line-up) but me and my buddy won't be driving to the Palladium in Worcester until Saturday. There's this friggin' thing called "work" that we have to attend to. Aaaaand the Friday line-up's pretty much sold-out.

Anyhoo, still a plethora of good metal and hardcore bands playing on the Saturday line-up but I'm actually looking forward to seeing Keep of Kalessin play, as well as getting a copy of their "Armada" album along with one of their shirts (which for some reason, I seem to have trouble finding online).

On a related tangent, I decided to just go nuts a month or two ago and have been growing both my facial and scalp hair just for this very occasion... which explains why my scalp now looks like a beaver up and left it's fur on top of my skull. On a more positive note, the facial hair's not so bad though. My disheveled beard only makes it look like I'm sporting an unkempt bushy italian vagina (or as I would call it: a "bushyvavajeeh") right on my chin. Don't be upset at me. An online buddy who lived for two years in Italy coined the lovely description.

And YES. I do look like a fucking hobo. Or a true bona-fide 70s Hippie. Depends on who's looking at it, I guess.

Given how I plan to clean-up all the scruff for Monday after the Metalfest weekend (hell, I'm beginning to get some weird looks at work after all), I just might go for the coup de grâce; buzz away at the sides of my scalp and go to the show wearing a mohawk in tandem with the bushyvavajeeh.

"Ahm Mistah Tee and ahm ah night-elf mow-hawk!"

Should be a fun show, methinks.
