Amon Amarth was an AMAZING concert. In the top three I could say for all the concerts I've been too. It was by far the most dificulty I've ever had going to a concert. I couldn't go alone and for months I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go with me. I finally convinced one of my friends to go with me. Then all of the tickets but the dinner seats ($55!) were sold out. Grudgingly I paid the $55 dolars for the tickets. Then... I GOT A CALL FROM TICKETS.COM SAYING THAT MY PURCHASE DIDN'T GO THROUGH AND TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made a painting to see if I could use some mind tricks to get me in. Then I went to the venue and they eventually started selling extra tickets. Then, after I had already bought the tickets, my ticket fell out of my pocket in my car. They WOULD NOT let me in. Finally after searching and searching, I found my ticket and got in.
The show was absolutely amazing though. I got to meet every band which was cool and I gave them all my business card. I was impressed by The Absence but I didn't really like Belphegore or Ensferium. The energy level was THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF. It was insane. It was probably the best crowd I've ever been in! The pit was sick too. Someone in the pit had chainmail! I thought that was epic...

P.S. No, I'm not a chick... I've got to grow some facial hair...
