I was around 21. I know because I could actually drink. It was Children of Bodom, with Black Dahlia Murder and Between the Buried and Me opening. I've always been a recluse, so I just never gave much thought to going to concerts, then I heard on the local rock radio station that this show was happening the next day, and I was totally into COB and BTBAM (it was right around the time they released Colors), so I just got it into my head that I was going to this show and I didn't care how. One of the best decisions I ever made. Got wasted, moshed, and in general just had the time of my ****ing life. Only regret is that the Children of Bodom and BTBAM tour shirts I got are now too small for my fat ass. And I'm pretty sure my mom threw out the BTBAM shirt because it had a cat skeleton on it. Cause they're not a bunch of touchy-feely vegans or anything.

I didn't know they let children in for conjugal visits.
