I saw Opeth yesterday night at the Nokia Theater with Halx. His wife bailed at the last minute and she missed out on the show of a lifetime. Definitely tied for the top spot on my list. Mikael Akerfeldt has the most incredible male vocals I've ever heard. I was so in awe. He made all kinds of classic rock and hair metal jokes between songs (the transition requires extensive retuning) and his speaking voice sounds a lot like mah huzbin which was hawt. Anyway, he was totally self deprecating and hilarious and that was great.
The highlight of the evening was unarguably when they played "Deliverance", the title track from their fourth or fifth album. It was the first song I had heard by them and the song that got me into death/prog metal in the first place so it was surreal to be there as they played it. It brought my Opeth experience full circle.
I was little kid excited. Bouncing up and down, huge grin on my face little kid excited.

I see a lot of fashion don'ts. As a fashion student interested in styling as a career, I am obligated to note them and imagine what I would do to correct them, but this... this was a disaster. It was so bad I had to take pictures. Take a deep breath first.
scylis:
maybe if she had a bouffant and a matching purse it wouldn't look so tremendously horrible, and then she could be made fun of for her lack of a calendar.
