i wanna be your superman

velvet revolver concert at us bank arena was awesome. they played all their good songs from contraband, two STP songs, three GnR songs and an Aerosmith cover. slash's playing was amazing, and weiland gave the show a lot of energy. i think he'd die if he didn't have a bullhorn to sing into. i'd have to say the best songs were "sucker train blues", "slither", "sex type thing", "used to love her", "superhuman", "mr. brownstone" and "set me free". the crowd went nuts when slash asked "how bout them bengals?", but they definately missed a huge chance to play "welcome to the jungle" after that. that would have brought the house down.

fall conference was a blast. i managed to avoid getting too sick, which is more than i can say for austin, who thankfully didn't die. i also played a rediculous amount of ultimate frisbee. it was really cool to hang out with everyone and get to no more of the people from uc. however, getting elbowed in the head during naval destroyer and staying up till 4 am finishing my paper last night were not fun.

but that's all done, and tonight i get to pick up Halo 2!! ign.com gives it a 9.8, and i have no doubt it's going to be mind-blowing. picking up my preorder from gamestop at midnight, and then it's no sleep once again tonight. but it's going to be so worth it.
