enough sun to burn my nose during an afternoon at the park, a stiff breeze, the sand of a shuffleboard table underneath my fingernails, his collection of Sierra Nevada bottles, seven shot glasses stacked atop the bar. a water bottle waved in the mosh pit, sore calves, the hot lights of the stage, a ringing in my ears. knocking on the car windows to try to wake him up. a freshly-baked batch of cookies.
deer steaks. ring sausage. burgers and stuffed mushrooms. third stone brown. horseshoes in the growing shade, frisbee in the cornfield, three-on-three against a rusted-out backboard. a fire that burns for twelve hours and wilts the trees. a snoring that just won't stop. sunshine wheat. a last-second three that seals the deal. a quickly-aborted search-and-rescue mission. a lost pair of sunglasses. a long, starry night full of moon and smoke and devoid of sleep.

Sheesh, I just had my last work shift and I played old-school R&B on the central intercom all day.
Totally wish I could have seen Opeth, though...
Sounds good. Hope you're not suffering too much right now.
Sounds like a pretty good weekend.
Opeth was pretty sick here in Toronto, and Enslaved did not disappoint either. Hope it was similar for you, sir.
@cub - it definitely was. i enjoyed enslaved a lot, not having really listened to them much prior to the show. with the possible exception of porcupine tree, i thought they were the best opener of any of the four (five?) opeth shows i've seen. i thought opeth's setlist was really great too.
Set list was quite awesome, wasn't it? A little of everything, but a lot of Watershed. Loved Lotus Eater... their stuff plays so well live.
