HOLY I am SO EXCITED!

In less than 24 hours, I WILL BE ON THE ROAD TO NEW JERSEY TO SEE THE FLOWER KINGS!







I'm running around my house like a total idiot, in the early hours of the morning, singing lyrics from Flower Kings albums...  I feel like I'm 8 years old...  my roommate came out of her room to see what the matter was, and she forgot her shirt!    Further proof that The Flower Kings >>>>>>> all.

*dies*

This show might just be the highpoint of my life.

...I guess the orgy of 2004 can't hold that spot forever.

Stop running around the house or else you might break a leg or at least sprain an ankle and risk missing out on the show (only half-joking here).

I can splint a broken leg...  it can wait 48 hours for medical attention, right?

If you want gangrene to set in and to delight at sight of the amputated leg encased in glass on the window sill, then yes, it can wait.

I saw Flower Kings last summer in Sweden! I'm a member of the orginasation who runs a festival in Gothenburg every year and there's were they performed! I've spoken on the phone with Roine Stolt, he's VERY nice. Now, feel free to explode

  C'mon, how often to the Flower Kings come within a few hours of someone?

...twice, that's how many.  I'm gonna check my budget and see if I can afford to drive another 300 miles both ways Sunday.

STUPID JOKE ALERT

Man Overboard, if the shockwave from your explosion blows your CD collection all the way to my place, may I keep it?

My CD collection is embarrassingly large.    I've got 200-ish albums, 20-ish DVDs, and countless bootleg concerts...  and that's just from rebuilding since the end of January!  

So yes.

Man Overboard: What did you think?

I loved it. The Circus Brimstone jam was fantastic. And the rest... well, needless to say, it was great.

They played here but it was an over 21 show.  The MAN says I'm 6 months too immature to see the Flower Kings.
Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.
