NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Some of you we're there, some of you weren't. For those who weren't who want to know how it went for me, personally. I write this. All day before the show, I was nervous and excited, the usual. I didn't think I was prepared for it, there we're several songs that I know I didn't know perfectly, which worried me and made me more nervous. So we head to the show early to get good parking and what not, go for coffee get all our shit inside ready for the setup. Joe Beg [ One of the guitarists ] was talking to one of his friends in the parking lot, Mike Bailey [ The Brown Bassist ], Colin Palmquest [ Lead guitar ], and I we're all just kind of chilling. After Joe B. had finished talking it up, we started to head back. BAM I walked into a fucking truck, sober as a 67 year old Nun and I walk INTO a TRUCK. I don't know how I missed that it was there, but I had the worst Charlie-horse, it still hurts now. But I tried walking it off, massaging it, stretching it, nothing worked, it still hurt. Then the four of us went out back of Kilroy's, cracked open 4 beers in celebration, Joe B. didn't finish his, nor did Colin. So, me being the kind fellow I am, I finish their beers for them. We go inside to check out our competition, and The Fall Of Troy band had bitched out last second. One member of that band played one song cuz he didn't want to be a bitch like the rest of that band. Then the Kyuss cover band came on, I'm not a big fan of Kyuss so I didn't pay much attention, that and my leg was killing me. They finished their set, and the Killswitch Engage cover came on. They affectively butchered KsE. Me and The Brown Bassist went for another beer, well, I did he just showed me where they were. KsE finished, it was our turn. My leg still killed, I didn't feel nervous, a lot of my friends we're there, but I wasn't nervous. I'm not sure if it was the pain in my leg, or the beer in my stomach, but I held no fear for that stage and all those lights. There was lots of people in the crowd, most just to see us. We set up the lights, OMG the strobe lights. I was wearing this Bright Pink Hawaiian shirt with some white with Bright Green flowers hawaiian shorts. We set everything up, the black lights, so I was glowing like a fucking candlestick. We started of with Forsaken, which went off without an issue at all, we fuckin' nailed that song getting the crowd moving and under our control. We followed forsaken with 94 hours, an old favorite which generated a lot of moshing and thrashing in the pit. Next on the set was Darkest Nights, alright we HAD the crowd in our hands, I clapped, they clapped. There was a small break after that. I talked to the people for a moment, and introduce us as Prey Saviour and that we were covering As I Lay Dying. Then Meaning In Tragedy was going, I know I fuck'd up on this one, but no one noticed so all is well. the strobe lights were killing me at this point all I could see were dots EVERYWHERE. Confined was next on the list, I announced it, and everyone went ballistic, we all had our time to fuck up in that song but again, no one noticed, so all is well. We then played 1000 steps, a short very spastic song, which needless to say got the crowd moving. 2nd last song was The Truth of my perception, I again fuck'd that song up without making it obvious, I guess. The crowd liked it. The last song, but the most anticipated song An Ocean Between us, I thought we nailed it, I had torn the Hawaiian shirt from my chest revealing a Throwdown teeshirt underneath it, throwing the torn shirt into the crowd. I thought it was fuckin' amazing, and so did everyone else. but afterwards Colin said he had fuck'd up on the song though, and so did the Brown Bassist. BUT we did it, we covered As I Lay dying and delivered it with fucking style. That is my story of my 1st concert, it definitely won't be my last. Hope you enjoyed the show and/or the story . :) -JoshHill

yes, this is my 10th Blog, ive come to inform you, i will be making a web-comic out of this dumb-shit :P Joe wants you to know that he hates everyone, except for a few lucky ones... hes a gambler Llama, so dont think you could beat him in poker, his poker-face is crazy good.. and seeing how he's a gambler he cant turn down a bet for something that he knows that there is a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of winning.. no wonder hes so poor.. anyways he thinks hes all that and a DSL connection... but yeah, heres a story about how i kicked his ass on betting an old lady couldnt cross the freeway without being hit by 14 automobiles..he bet that it would make it without being hit by any. we tested this theory on my great aunt Gertrude, she made it to the 1st lane and got hit by one, flew 3 feet to the next lane got hit again, went backwards and hit by a transport almost being flattened, but still managed to ricochet off that and made it to the 3rd lane and gets hit bya soccer-mom in a SUV, then fell to the ground... somehow she managed to get back up and make it to the forth lane, but to only be hit by some little Italian in a VW bug, she actually caught 5-8 seconds of air time, then landed atop of another transport and rolled over the canopy and fell off the back to see another SUV tailgating the transport and hits the windshield of that, shattering it and then falling back to the third lane and getting run over by a Porsche boxter carerra, the car got air of aunt Gertrude i said "You got like, 3 feet of air that time!" and she gets hit by a Lamborghini Diablo, because of its shape it picked her up and tossed her back into the 4th lane only to be hit by a shity-looking multi-coloured ford truck and then bounced to the 5th lane! [ no the traffic is going the other way ] violently she gets nailed by a VW wagon [ HippieVan ] fileld with a bunch of smog, inside.. it hits her head on and falls to the ground then getting ran over by the same VW wagon... the hippie's stop the wagon and get out to see if shes alright, they pulled her up, dusting her off while cars swerve to avoid the wagon with 12 hippies and she said she was fine, dont ask me how shes fine, but she was... all of the sudden a transport runs right through the parked Wagon and slaughters all the hippies and the hitting Gertrude causing her to fly 12 feet into the air into the 7th lane getting hit by the infamous HotDog Mobile! she rode that wiener long and hard...ew...she fell off the back end, flinging her into the air to get hit by yet another transport, falling into the 6th lane she nearly gets hit by a motorbike, but she manages to keep her balance and tries to walk to the 7th lane, but she gets hit by a friggin hummer [ none of that H2/3 crap ], she went along with this one, me and joe had ot run down the side of the freeway for about 24.7 seconds, she broke free of the hummer [ it seems everyone on the freeway, other then the hippies hate old people ] she then fell off the side of the hummers, and get hit by yet another transport flying to the other side of the road she gets up and screams... TOUCHDOWN, MUTHA FUCKA! does a little dance resembling the robot, and i look to Joe to see him laughing his ass off on the ground, then i said, you owe me $1,000... no, you cannot borrow $1,000 from me... thats the end of this story, until next time, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME! everyones doing it.

[ the 7th and 8th tales were boring so i chose to omit them! ] one day, joe was wondering through the wilderness when all of the suddne he see this little white man, being the mischevious litllte bastard joe is, he decides " im gonna jump this little white man...." he LEAPS out of the bushes towards this little white man and the little white man pulls some bruce lee shit and throws joe over his head by he left front leg, drops him on his back with the violnce of a train hitting a flaming shelf of Charcoal going the speed of light... you hear every bone in Joes back break... he lays on the ground while the little white man jumps around him singing "OOOOOOOOOOOH, i wish i were an oscar meyer weiner, ooooh for that is what i would truly like to be, 'cause if i were an oscar meyer weiner, everyone would be in love with meeeeeeeeee!" the 'meeeeeeeeeeee' ended ina really high pitched note... anyways Joe got to the nearest hospital and was healed within minutes, for he is a MAGICAL Llama! with special healing abilities*waves hands around for special effects*he and this little white man become friends and pit-pocket all the people within the hospital... they earned themselves a grand total of 71 cents...none of this money was in anyones pockets... it was on the floor, and they kept dropping it everytime one of the patients hit them for reaching into their pockets so obviously... then Joe and the little white man find their way back home being very good friends in the end... and continue to have great adventures... as Joe walks in the door, a ton of wet clay falls off the edge of the top of the door onto Joes Skull...his neck was broken and he fell to the ground cussing and whining about his broken neck... luckily Joes a MAGICAL Llama with special healing abilities*waves hand for added effect* and his neck heals quickly... the end... ^_^

Joe came back home and gave me the down and dirty details, not that i was asking for them... buhuhhhhhhhh.. its about that time again...Ohh Josh wants to play BodyTicTacToe, grinning with that Golden glow, joined the hammer throw, even learned to sew, made his own talk-show, became quite the pro at BodyTicTacTo-o-o-o-o-e!!! :D
