I honestly think you're the only person on this forum who sees the word "batman" and thinks of cricket :roll: :)

In off-topic news, I had a nice Valentine's night at an Amon Amarth show in San Francisco! It was insane and my body still aches, throat is still raspy, ears are still ringing. Worth it :D

How'd you find it? I went to their show in Vienna in November. It was a lot of fun of course but I wasn't very impressed with them live. Back in 2009 or so they used to be the band to see live, now they seemed a bit tired. Though, I 'spose a lot of the sound issues could've been to do with the venue.

At times, I was having difficulty telling what song it was or where we were up to in a song.

It was awesome! Last time I saw them was at a festival and they had a designated 35 minute, 5-6 song set. This time they were out for almost two hours and played over 15 songs, a lot of the new album along with plenty of With Oden, Twilight, Surtur, and the classics. Sound was fine quality and really loud up close to the stage.

I was close to the front too so that could be why I had trouble hearing. It was held in a giant cylindrical building called the Gasometer, probably not ideal for acoustics either. Still loads of fun with the band only a few meters away. Not a fan of the last two albums really, I've grown to prefer their back catalogue over the years.

I'm doing pretty well. Finished bachelors degree, post grad this year, not a lot of time for cannons. Haven't fired a hybrid since late 2012. Now I'm worried it may have rust on the inside from sitting idle for so long but I can always build another if that's the case. What have you been up to?

Basically. That and school, combined with applying to internships/jobs and trying to get out into the real world. Ugh.
