Media Review 2

I went to a concert about two weekends ago that featured all the best local band in the area. Mikey, the owner of APEX Booking, decided to get every one of his favorite bands together for his birthday show. Sent by Ares, Berserker, xFriends With A Ghostx, Living Like Wolves, Upon Disfigurment, and In Alcatraz 1962 were only some of the bands that played. This was by far the best show at the Mount Airy Firehall I had been to in a long time. I left around 8 or 9 but the concert was an all night jam sesh. Apparently, everyone was getting drunk in the parking lot, smoking weed in the woods, and overall comitting a bunch of douchebagarry. The bands before I left played great. Most of the bands I mentioned above have one or two of my close friends in them, so it was a great time. Great enviroment, great music, great time. However; just a warning, if you come to these Mount Airy Firehall shows ever, prepared to get hit. People go crazy in there. And if you're gonna bitch about getting hit, then go home. :)

Last night, I watched the movie Yes Man starring Jim Carey as Carl. This is a romantic comedy type deal (with much more comedy than romance) about a man who never takes opportunities or risks. In the beginning, is friends are starting to turn their backs on him, he is stuck in a dead end job, he's single, and he doesn't know what to do with himself. When he meets an old friend outside the bank where he works, Carl is persuaded to go to a “Yes” seminar. There he makes an oath to say yes whenever a chance to do anything presents itself. He doesn’t say no to anything. When a hobo asks for a ride to the middle of nowhere and for all his money, he says yes. When his friend asks him if he can start a tab at the bar and pay for all their drinks, he says yes. Somehow, something good always comes out of his actions and his life is turned around. This movie can be very serious at times but through the story Jim Carey remains as funny as always. His goofy humor and this plot go very well together. Definitely see this movie if you haven’t already.
