February already? Its been a bsuy month. I'm putting in 60 hour-weeks wrapping up things before the US tour next month. I've got the few few weeks off, and I'm trying to score the last few weeks off in unpaid leave. Its been an uphill battle, but I've had some victories. It should play out this week. In other news, I'm going to see Evanescence on Wednesday. It'll be the first time I've left work before 8 in a long time. I'm really quite excited. They seemed to put on a great show at the American Music Awards, and their music is very powerful and intense. Oh, back to Metallica for a second, I saw Metallica: Some Kind of Monster this weekend with several friends. I went up with a friend from work, and met some other friends there. It was at the Santa Barbara film festival, and it was a lot of fun. The film is really very good. I think it will be enjoyed by non-fans as well as fans. I think non-fans will appreciate it in a very different way, obviously. It was interesting seeing Jason's perspective on things. The film really kinda lets you see things from various angles, and the band doesn't always come out smelling like roses. It's a brutally honest account of the last year or two of their life. I can't wait to see it again. I wish it was longer. I really hope they put out an extended-length DVD version. Anyway, that's about all I have to say this month. I hope to see some of you out there on the road! Phil |
