I'm happy, and I'm very sad.
I'm happy cause in 3 days I'll be in lovely Las Vegas. It's my favorite place in the world, and I'll be spending 11 glorious days there. Seeing Evil Dead The Musical (a lot), Walking Dead finale viewing party, CMTs, Grand Canyon trip, and drinking... lots of drinking. That makes me happy.
What makes me sad, very sad, is finding out Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus of GWAR) passed away last night. At only 50, he slugged it out in GWAR for 28 years. That's quite the career, especially for "no talent idiots who wear costumes", as some people would say. GWAR are easily one of my favorite bands, and I've seen them live 12 times, and had the pleasure of meeting Dave on a few occasions. He was always gracious and friendly. The guy will be missed by many, including this idiot right here. :(
So it goes without saying, I'll be raising a glass or two in memory of my Lord and Master Oderus.
RIP - Dave Brockie - Aug 30 1963 - Mar 23 2014
