I went out to the Pale Horse/Curb Check/Thieves show last night and it was pretty fun. Not a big turnout, especially since it was Wednesday night, but at least "all of the hardcore scene that mattered" was there. 
The first touring band came out all metal-hybrid style like Himsa and were pretty impressive, even though the singer was a "John Petti-clone" with a cauliflower ear. 
I felt kind weird staring at it and wanting to ask what was up with it. I didn't, though; it was probably an accident like most cases.
Those old time wrestlers, like in the time of "Killer" Kowalski, "Gorgeous" George, and the original "Nature Boy," would get cauliflower ears because of all the real scrapping they did in the ring. That's probably the same reason why rugby players wear that leather helmet during "scrums."

denver not too bad and at walls, we had a good turn out.
metal is much bigger here than hardcore, which is cool...i guess.
for now, i'll take the shows i can get and then book the ones i want later. so, champion next week, terror in a month. it's getting better here, the scene is just young and spread out.
hopefully i can fix that!
