First of all, I met Luanna and Candace from the Twisted Method Message board, finally! Woo hoo! All I have to say is they are incredible and Candace is so freaking cute when it comes to taking pics with the guys.

Besides this venue being like a freaking prison, the night went pretty well. I first chatted with Twisted Method a bit before they had to get ready for the show. The first band was that Spanam from Tokyo. I think it's incredible that they come from Tokyo to perform and all that, but I can't understand them. We won't go any further.

Twisted Method hit the stage full of energy as usual. In their regular civilian clothes. Although I love the furry pants and all that, I think I like them just being them! Being able to get on the stage in what they already were walking around in and kick major ass! But switching it up is always cool. Once again I can't remember the freaking set list because I was busy taking photos and then enjoying the show. I know they did "Hurt Me" (surprise surprise). LOL I don't know if I was just not paying attention or what but I swear tonight was back to the original version. I know they did "Reach" and "Mannequin".

Up next was Motograter who rocked the house. I didn't watch the entire set, because we were doing a photo shoot with Ben, Andy, Tripp, Derek, Luanna, Candace, Jo, and me. LOL I have to admit, it was pretty damn funny with Ben being the photographer.

While chilling with Ben, Derek, Andy, Luanna, her hubby, and Candace, I turned my head and saw Mr. Bones himself! (Mr. Bones a.k.a Acey Slade (Trashlight Vision/Murderdolls & a former member of Dope). I am not quite sure who I was chatting with, Derek, Ben or Andy, but I saw Acey and just screamed and ran over to him! Sorry.  I was just amazed that he actually showed up as promised! It was cool to see him again. I was a bit annoyed that he missed Twisted Method's set, but I thought he wasn't going to show...period, so he gained brownie points there! I introduced him to Ben and Jo introduced him to Derek. No clue where Andy and Tripp were! Ahh well.

Tonight's show was better than last night and I'm completely looking forward to tomorrows. Had an absolute blast.

Lots of love to Adam (Twisted Method's Merch guy) for putting up with me and my shit at the shows!
