No... cameras and mosh pits don't mix, things tend to get broken...The show was Soilwork w/ Death Angel, Augury, Mutiny Within, Swashbuckle @ the Galaxy theatre in Santa Ana on July 31st.Also saw a little of the surfing competition at huntington beach earlier in the day!!! Too bad we didn't find out about it until we were driving by...

Oh OK...sounds like a cool show. EDIT: gig. Sorry, tired.

Cool, looks like a nice trip. The driving landscape out there is quiet interesting. Not used to some of those desert highways out west where the road is straight as far as the eye can see! Thanks for sharing!

Some cool shot!! I can't wait to see the rest of them.What concert did you go to?

I'll get more pics up as they get resized. Photobucket's giving me grief over the massive size of my pics so I'm using the old attach and post!!!Quote, originally posted by 06pvibe »What concert did you go to?

OK, it's official. I'm old!!!I have no idea who any of those bands are. If you had said the Allman Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam or even Alter Bridge I would've known who you meant.Speaking of which (a recent funny anecdote "threadjack" coming.) My wife and I were discussing one of my coworkers the other day when my wife said to me, "You find her attractive, don't you?" Being completely honest I said, "Well sort of, in a 25+ something sort of way. But she only likes older men...." and just then in mid-sentence, somewhere in my head I thought to myself, "older?" I'm OLDER!! "...w/money."What a shock to finally realize that I am not 25 anymore!! But at least I don't have any money.

I'm almost there.... but still able to drive for 17hrs straight and sleep in the car..... I don't have much money either....This pic was taken at 80mph about 20 or so miles north of Redding, CA

Northbound on the I-405 in Portland. This is the Fremont bridge I believe! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...regon)

Seattle.... traffic's light... HOV lane speed 60-65, far left lane speed 75+, but the express lanes were not far ahead where the speed limit is apparently 80... or so that's what everyone was driving!!! That tanker BTW was shuffling through the HOV and 2 left lanes doing around 70. There were plenty of cops around... not sure what they look for along that stretch but it isn't speeders, tailgaters, or rigs in the wrong lanes...

Just south of Bellingham where the speed limit is a ridiculously slow 60...(which nobody was doing)

Coming down the connector (97C) into the Okanagan. Seems to be forest fire season again!!!
