Mosh Pit!

...so, tonight I go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra! Tom won the tickets a while back on the radio, dontchaknow.

I've only heard bits of their music before, but it's catchy and energetic and they're supposed to have singers and an orchestra and a heavy metal band and 2 narrators and sharks with frikkin' lasers.

They are NOT the same thing as Mannheim Steamroller, which I think is what I've been calling them for the last couple of weeks. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is supposed to have updated Christmas music like MS, but TSO apparently focuses more on heavy metal.

Now listen up, because this part's important: One of the Seven Keys to My Heart is...disco lights. I love bright multicolored lights bouncing around and lasers and smoke machines and all that shit. I don't know why this is, but 'twas ever thus. I think it might be related to the side of my brain that thinks LEDs and kissing other boys are both enjoyable. So I'm reading reviews of their concert to know what exactly to look forward to, and I come across this butthead:

...the light show through all the songs was just too much.  Don't get me wrong, I have never, ever seen anything to rival the floor show here - 6 trillion lights on the fastest-changing programming I have ever seen, zillions of lasers, flames, more flames, a ten-minute snow storm, band members descending from the sky, band members ascending to the sky, etc. etc.

He says this shit like it's a bad thing! So now I'm wondering if I might just be in for some good disco lights. Anyway, I did a google image search, and OHMYFUCKINGGOD:







I wonder if anyone's ever been to a concert like this while high and survived with their eyeballs intact. I'm now really looking forward to it.

By the way, I own a fiber optic light, a lava lite, a lava lite-brand glitter lamp, a flame-shaped plasma light thing, a black light, a spinning multi-colored light thing and a color-changing fiber optic bonsai tree!

I'll post again later and let y'all know if the concert blew the back of my head out or anything.
