Then she sang along with Born To Party, which was really funny to hear her shout (Municipal Waste is gonna...) FUCK YOU UP.
Marry her. Doooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Plus I didn't feel like paying 9 bucks a knob to the electric amp guy on ebay. I will also check out the new Queens album. Although I still haven't really been all that into them since Songs for the Deaf. I really listened that album to death but never really got into their later ones all that much.
Yeah, I'm going for that vintage vibe too, but without using the common chicken heads.

Yes, my girlfriend rules -- she very much enjoys Clutch, Baroness, & Torche, and LOVES Royal Thunder. She likes the more melodic stuff I listen to and has gone with me to see Royal Thunder, Pallbearer, & The Melvins before the Rock Fest, too. We plan on going to see Baroness and Torche whenever they come back to the area. She doesn't really like some of the more intense stuff I listen to so she'd probably just say "have fun!" if I went to go see, say, Pig Destroyer.
Vegas ruled. We stayed away from casinos and clubs for the most part and did more in-depth exploring. We went to In-N-Out Burger for my very first time (she's from LA so she demanded I get it... no complaints) and it was delicious.
We went to go see Absinthe, which kinda pokes fun at Cirque Du Soleil but has similar performers doing gymnastics/tightrope walking. It was a much smaller audience, and had some burlesque acts and a lot of raunchy jokes so it was a very cool and enjoyable experience.
We went to a tucked-away sushi restaurant in Chinatown that was absolutely the best sushi I have ever eaten. It was prepared one piece at a time for us and was chef's choice, and he gave us the most incredible slice of fatty tuna we've ever tasted.
We had a couples massage and spa morning the next day, and then had a killer burger and beer at a place called Holstein's on the Strip. As overpriced as it was, the burger was damn good. We checked out the arts district that night and went to a speakeasy called The Laundry Room and had some fancy whiskey cocktails.
Overall a pretty spectacular experience without dealing with too many assholes/bros.
Sounds like a brilliant trip. I'm glad everything went well. My now ex-girlfriend asked if I wanted to go with her to Texas in July. I said no (I'm not ready to see her as not my girlfriend yet), but I would love to go to America for a month.
