OT: The Avalounge: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes (Turn and Face the Strange)

[McMetal]

I won tickets at the last minute yesterday, to see the Butcher Babies. Hollywood Undead headlined the (outdoor) show.

Hollywood Undead -- I'd describe them a s a hip-hop boy-band. Can't say I like hip-hop or boy-bands, so I can't rate them too high. I guess they were okay at what they do, though. Most of the music was recorded, and they weren't playing it live -- some, but not much. I give them a 5/10

Butcher Babies -- now that was a show worth seeing. High energy, full volume, kick ass chicks rocking it! Not sure they fit right with the show, though, as it was more a hip-hop crowd. I'd give them a 7.75/10

The Butcher Babies are a hell of a lot of fun. Some people say they're gimmicky, and they may have a point, but they're never afraid to pull out all the stops for their live show.

Probably unpopular opinion, but Chick Fil A is bad, bordering on disgusting. Chicken is soggy, and tastes oddly of pickles, fries suck, the sandwich falls apart and has the worst bun ever. And I'm not even going to start on the corporation's political views. Got dragged there today. Blah.

*Edit... The worst part was this one is across the street from a Raining Canes. I had to sit there and eat my limp, soggy, spicy chicken sandwich, which was oddly less spicy than a glass of milk, while watching happy people go to Raising Canes.

Had one of my longest family friends killed in the shooting in Fort Collins last night. And the other helicoptered to a hospital last night.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like this. Definitely very sad, shocked, lost and confused today.

Damn man, really sorry to hear that. It's a f***ed up world out there more than ever, at least in the unpredictability aspect.

Also, for anyone interested The Athletic is having a 50% sale right now.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

@Foppberg where are you seeing the 50 percent sale?

Seems to have ended already, was a flash sale.

I'm getting fat and want to change but my plan for the night is to stay home and drink and eat junk and I'm not willing to change.

Embrace the dad bod. Chicks dig dad bods these days. Very trendy

Never using Fanduel or Draft kings again. They're never accurate on who's starting in goal.

So sorry to hear that. Horrible thing to have happen. And I'm even more sorry it seems so very common nowadays.

Currently attempting to read a bus timetable and deciding if I want to get there twenty or forty minutes in advance as a result

Gigs on a Sunday are a nightmare

LOL MacKinnon looks so uncomfortable in the pics the Avs just tweeted.

Please don't mention Butcher's name. It's too painful.

$#!@ just got personal!

A staff member of Shotgun Willie’s strip club in Glendale was expected to recover after being shot by a person who was denied entry to the club early Sunday, police said.

Putting someone through the inconvenience of going a whole block away to another strip club in Glendale should not make someone fightin' mad.

Benging Strangers Things tonight. Even better on the re-watch.

I highly suggest PBS's series on the Vietnam War. If you're a history buff at all (and without getting political), it explains so much of why the last 40-50 years have been how they are.

I’m in Vegas for the game tomorrow, and the receptionist at the front desk of our hotel told us that we’re staying at the same hotel as the Avs players. Is it just me, or is that the type of thing she should not tell people wearing Avs merch?

I mean, what if I was one of those crazy fans that talked & read about hockey all day online with a bunch of strangers from around the world? That could be bad news.

You should wait in the lobby all day and scream like a little girl when Landeskog walks by.

Co-worker of mine is in Vegas today, and will take in her first NHL game.
