The Quest

So I am going through all avenues to pick the one concert I am going to in the most nearest future. Not because I am allowed only one, but because money crunching will only permit one. Or two…or maybe three.

OMG CAN I GO?!?!

THANK YOU dcheavymetal.com

Thank you for the most epic calendar ever!!

Now where were we?

OMG CAN I GO?!?!

Mon 18 April – Metal As Fuck Monday! – Skeletonwitch and 3 Inches Of Blood and Radical Discharge and Ethereal Genocide at the Ottobar (Baltimore, Maryland) – Modern thrash act Skeletonwitch headlines a killer metal show at the Ottobar on this Monday night in April. They’re bringing with them 3 Inches Of Blood and Radical Discharge and Northern Virginia based death metal band Ethereal Genocide is opening this show only. Should be killer. If that wasn’t good enough, everyone over 21 at the show will get a voucher for free beer at the upstairs bar after the show where they’ll be playing heavy metal tunes on the stereo the rest of the night. Tickets cost $12 ($15.50 after fees if you buy a ticket online from Mission Tix). The doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. It’s open to all ages

Sounds like a BLAST, right?! Metal. As. Fuck. Monday! I absolutely love it!! To warn you, there will be many punctuation marks in this post. I apologize in advance if you can’t keep up. I’m just so freakin excited!!!

…and then I realize it says, BALTIMORE. Damn I guess I can’t go on a weeknight. But I push on.

What’s this?

OMG CAN I GO????
