So the concert the other night was good. Head Automatica didn't play long enough, I realise they are an opening band but just over 15 minutes is not enough. Avenge Sevenfold was pretty much horrible live, I was hoping to be impressed and was seriously disapointed. They were definately trying too hard to be a late 80s hair band (minus the hair), complete with giant metal skull and riduculous smoke machines, it would be alright if they were tongue and cheek about it but I'm pretty sure they were serious. Coheed and Cambria were awesome once again, I think they get better each time I see them.
Aside from the bands themselves I can only say that the audience in Poughkeepsie was horrible.....way to many wanna be thug kids that think they are better then everyone and that concerts are an excuse to be complete assholes. There was also this 10 year old little kid that was there with his mom (or sister?) that managed to work his way to the front before Coheed. He was completely out of place and didn't know what he was in for but I thought it was cool of him to be there so I looked out for him until he decided to head out of the crowd. During the process of making sure he didn't get crushed or have any crowd surfers fall on him I sprained my wrist pretty bad which pretty much sucked because I've had my wrist wrapped up ever since, but I think its getting better.
