Holy crap!! What a great weekend! Anyone that knows me knows that I am really NOT a big time horror movie type of person. It's just not my thing. However, the Rock and Shock Convention put on by Mass Concerts every year has quickly become one of my favorite events of the year. It's got the music, it's got the chance to mingle with famous celebrities and it's got the chance to see some crazy stuff you just don't get to see every day. This years show was no exception. Some of the highlights of my weekend included meeting Jason Mewes (Jay from Jay and Silent Bob), Brian O'Halloran (Dante from Clerks) and of course, Rowdy Roddy Piper. I was actually sitting at the Uno's across the street from the DCU Center eating dinner between bands Friday night and trying to catch up on the Red Sox/Rays ALCS Game 1 score when I see someone sitting down next to me out of the corner of my eye and who is it but the Rowdy one himself. Across the bar, I saw a table with Michael Biehn (Terminator/Aliens) and his girlfriend Jennifer Blanc (she's been in every TV show you can think of), and at the table next to them, Derek Mears, who will play Jason in the new Friday the 13th movie coming out next year. The next day, I'm putting money in the parking meter next to the DCU Center when Brooke McCarter and his "The Lost Boys" buddy Corey Haim walk by. You know, one of the two Corey's from the '80's. It was just crazy seeing all of this on the streets of Worcester. The bands were... the bands. I had seen most of them. Gwar finally got me. I had successfully not gotten covered in their fake blood the last three shows I had seen them, but on Saturday night, I scored a direct shot right in the face. Fortunately, my camera is no worse for the wear, but that stuff sucks to wash out. The next night I had the misfortune to experience the Insane Clown Posse, who proceeded to spray Faygo soda all over the crowd every chance they got. I will say, leaving a show smelling like root beer is much better the driving home from a show looking like someone just smashed your face open and you were bleeding, although I can't imagine either one would be easy to explain to the cops. I will say, though, the way ICP's crowd interacts with them live made their set somewhat appealing, though listening to their half baked fans yell "woot woot" every two seconds while waiting for them to go on was torture on my brain cells. Between The Buried And Me was definitely my favorite band of the festival. So anyway, that's another one in the books. Here are some pictures from the weekend. Enjoy: LINKS Rock and Shock Convention photos Mushroomhead Between The Buried and Me Gwar Kingdom Of Sorrow Children Of Bodom August Burns Red Emmure After The Burial Obituary Beneath The Massacre Insane Clown Posse Suicide Silence Toxic Holocaust Corey Haim and Brooke McCarter before the coke. Jason Mewes and Brian O'Halloran wonder if Brian is even supposed to be there today. Rowdy Roddy Piper challenging all takers
