On a whim, I decided to go up Lone Mountain after sundown. My goal was to get a clear view of the strip and to snap a few photos.
Like before, I’m very much in need for a better camera. Also, I should have thought about taking some sort of tripod solution.
I’d like to share the following pictures:
I attended the Nellis Air Show today. Apparently, I know nothing about aircrafts: everything was much bigger or smaller than I expected. By the time we hit up the C5 Galaxy, my mind was blown. I don’t care about the laws of physics, it makes no sense to see that thing fly. That thing is an assboat.
As expected, the Thunderbirds were the highlight of the of the show.
Had it not been for Dustin’s invitation, I wouldn’t have attended the event. Given his current military standing, I basically had my own tour guide. Kudos to you, dbarbour!
I don’t have a fancy camera or anything, so I took few pictures. Here’s some that stood out:
This year’s spontaneous trip landed me in Houston, Texas of all places. Go figure….
1998 - All the jackass-punk kids at Bonanza High school are etching the logo on 3 inch binders. It’s fucking pathetic. I’m on a trip further into Electronic Music and I’m not looking back. Guitars? Fuck that noise!
2002 - KMFDM signs with Metropolis-Records and releases “Attak”. I had read some reviews and was convinced to at least give them another listen. If Metropolis-Records like this, why shouldn’t I? This song in particular hooked me:
2003 - I had worked my way backwards through their discography and had all the albums. My retort was already programmed in my head: “Yeah, yeah, $YOURBAND sucks. You should listen to KMFDM. Start off with Symbols.”
2009 - I sit here wondering what I did with my old KMFDM sticker. I should have put it on a binder or something.
I’m really glad I got to see them. I had already missed both MDFMK and KMFDM in Vegas. They’ve been around for 25 years and Sascha Konietzko is getting old. I got word that he had to sit down mid-concert in Phoenix!
My show in particular was energetic as all hell. I don’t see the band stopping any time soon. Besides, George Bush said it best: “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, break up once, shame on — shame on you. Break up — you can’t break up again.”
