A figure stands high up on the rigging, looming over stage and audience. The man slips a noose over his neck and jumps as Avenged Sevenfold launches into their opening song, Nightmare. The stunt man sways and kicks, before succumbing to his fate –hanging through two songs before the 7,000 in attendance. The audience below him never went still throughout the headliner’s energized 80 minute set. Read the rest of this entry »

One thing Rascal Flatts never do—leave you wondering who in the world their opening act is. Some concerts you walk into no-namers trying to get their big break, but time and time again Rascal Flatts brings artists on tour with them that are just as enjoyable and you’re able to sing right along.

I’d heard of the comedian, but admit that I had never seen him perform and I knew little about the cast of colorful characters that perform with him. What a treat! Read the rest of this entry »

I am a Horror fan. My adoration for the genre began almost from birth as I was born close to Halloween, every year forcing my girlfriends to watch late night movies like Steven Spielberg’s Poltergeist, Night of the Living Dead, and John Carpenter’s The Fog during holiday themed slumber parties. There was something special about these films that I couldn’t explain then, but understand now; they are classic. The faceless shape, the hidden terror, the shambling zombie…they are fun. They are scary. And they have created a fan base no other genre can rival. Read the rest of this entry »
