Beats Antique and Other Oddities

Last night I got to experience another treat in my ongoing binge of concerts. I don't know the proper genre classification for Beats Antique and am too lazy to look it up so I will just call them what I always have, which is "bellydance music." Led by the diminutive yet fearsome Zoe Jakes who is one of the most amazing bellydancers I've ever seen live, they put on a seriously mindbending show.

( Concert and context... )

Such sights come with a price. It was after 2 am by the time we left the concert hall. After taking our friend home and dealing finishing the car issues from earlier in the day it was almost 4 am by the time we got home. Did I mention I had to be at work by 7 am this morning? Yeah, today was a rough day at work during which no fucks were given. I got off work, treated myself to a hot fudge sundae from Sonic, got home, and passed right the fuck out. I did not dream, I was so tired. Was it worth it and would I do it again? Hell yeah. Next weekend I get back into the metal mindset with my Viking metal heroes Amon (fucking) Amarth(!) I don't know if they've ever seen Zoe in her antlered goddess costume, but I think they would approve.
