Ready for the new $hiT! Seekrit Prawjekt!

First of all, just want to say Merry Spookymas & Happy Dead People Christmas to all you people.

Went to see the Rob Zombie/ Ozzy concert on Halloween night, and it was bittersweet - at least that's the best way I can think of describing it...

Here's a recap by Eidolon-Grey

The concert was both great and crappy all at once... I had my first experience of how awfull Minneapolis crowds are... put it this way, the energy was so blaaaaaaaaah that Ozzy (Frikken OZZY man!) had to start his OWN encore I felt ashamed of them... there were a few times that I screamed and jumped up and down, people around me would turn and stare at me all offended and stuff, they'd clap politely now and then and there was rock fingers of course! But otherwise the energy from the crowd was really unenthusiastic, they seemed more interested in toking that rocking Ozzy seemed very upset with the crowd and tried REALLY hard to whip up some "crazy" as he put it, but despite all his efforts (and he was really awesome, such a master to watch) he could barely get people to clap along for more 30 seconds. He got really vengeful with the foam and water sprayers he had and basically stood there hosing people in the face, and the camera was zoomed up on his face and he just looked angry lol

He sounded awesome though, his voice was clear and strong, he was really high energy in himself too, running around the stage and really putting in a HUGE effort, especially considering the crowd was so blah.

Zombie's set was brilliant, he had a bunch of monsters and dancing girls in costumes and fire and things, it was all very energetic and fun. His videos were all classic monster movies and of course House of 1000 Corpses & Devils Rejects (and some really dodgy 80's hentai at one point that was pretty funny, especially when this woman spread her legs and this perky super chibi childs head in a hat popped out of her doodah rofl). But I felt SO sorry for him! Seriously my heart went out to him. Halloween is his favourite day of the year, it's super special to him, like christmas for most people. And he was all excited and happy and talking about how special it was and stuff, and then he stops his set all excited and asks for the lights to be lifted so he can see everyones costumes... and gets all dissapointed because almost no one dressed up (we did!). He said "What's wrong with you people, don't you realize it's HALLOWEEN?!" and got all sad and "whatever" about the rest of his songs... but he pulled it back together with Dragula which was great and I had lots of fun jumping around and singing along hehe

We got some photo's which hopefully aren't blurred to all heck which we'll look at tonight and see if any are worth sharing, and I'm sore all over and have no voice today lol but I'm glad we went anyway, it was special to see Ozzy, and I really enjoyed Zombie and would like to see him again if we get the chance.

So, There you have it.
And now, my .

Well, I totally hear where Zombie was at... It definitely seemed like a big portion of the crowd were at the wrong concert!!! At one point Rob Zombie even commented "you people need to make some noise, instead of sitting there... 'observing', I'm sure you didn't come out tonight to 'observe'." I would be pretty irritated. And yeah, when he hit the lights... I wasn't too close to the stage, but you didn't have to be to see the disappointment in his face when he saw the lack of monsters and freaks in the crowd, ON FREAKIN' HALLOWEEN NIGHT DAMMIT!

I second that notion.

Perhaps Minneapolis crowds are just too passive for their own good... I just hope it doesn't rub off on me! ack! getteroff!

Ozzy did a pretty fantastic job considering what he had to work with (lame-o crowd). It's like... the long winters just make Minnesootans lethargic or something. But he was awesome, jumping around, loud and clear, telling people "Go crazy! It's Halloween mate! You can do whatever the fuck you want man! Have fun!".

Maybe I'll post some pictures soonish. Whatchall think?

Dia de los Muertos was just kinda quiet, spent it at home, maybe next year we'll do something a bit more special, complete with baked Calaca cookies and such.

Guy Fawkes day: We didn't get to watch V for Vendetta as we planned, but we still had a pleasant evening fragging the hell outta people on teh Haloz. So no complaints. Anyone wanna swap Gamertags? hit me up and drop me a note, as long as you're not one of those p*icks that work hard at exemplifying Gabe's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory - www.penny-arcade.com/comic/200… , but rather like to have fun and get a good team/ groove going.

More news:
I'm thinking of attending AIO (Art Institute Online division - out of Pennsylvania). Anyone have any advice? Any experience with them? Any opinion on it?
I'm currently involved in the application process, and financial process... so I guess we'll see where it goes. I'm applying for the Bachelor of Science - Game Art & Design degree... www.aionline.edu/programs/onli…

I figure, yes I'm already a professional artist, but I am hell bent on learning more and expanding my repertoire of skills and absorbing whatever I can from this, as well as creating a more concrete way for me to pave my way into doing this sort of work full time, rather than some at the day job (advertising & concept mock ups), and juggling my freelancing & commissions (the fun stuff!).

As for the Seeekrit prawjekt!!!

You'll be seeing it soon, I'm sure... Let's just say that you'll be seeing the undead glaring at you from your screens soon. And other decaying fun creatures. (I really can't say more or I'll give it away! )
