Music To Me

Here is a list of shows that I plan on attending before the year is up. You may look at this list and think, "Man, that's a lot of shows". Well, I know. I enjoy the atmosphere and I'll probably never be able to live this way ever again. I'm just living life to the fullest.

In between all of these dates are a few Mariners' games. I'll be having a busy summer and I'll be finishing it up just in time to start school in the fall. I won't live my life in a constrained manner. The Rage Against the Machine reunion show at Coachella earlier this summer defies what I do with my life...sometimes you only get one shot, I choose to take advantage of that situation. If Led Zeppelin ever had a reunion show...I'd be there...regardless of the location. Music is one of the few aspects of my life and it plays a huge role in who I am as a person. To list a few names of the groups/people I have seen live: Metallica, Deftones (4x), Rage Against the Machine (2x), TOOL (2x), Incubus (3x), Audioslave, A Perfect Circle, Wolfmother (2x), Manu Chao (2x), Beastie Boys, Stone Temple Pilots, Staind, Linkin Park (2x), etc. I love music and this is one of the many ways in which I enjoy it...live.
