This year Metalcore Night is producing two side events in Las Vegas during the When We Were Young Festival Weekend. Witches can’t make the trip for this one – so Adam is going to be flying solo – with some help from some emotional support humans from back home in Pittsburgh, and some very close friends who will be making our shows more than just another “Emo Night” event.
Follow along as Adam gives you a look behind the scenes on the road and let’s make this a When We Were Young Weekend to remember. Some of the highlights we’re looking forward to:
- Spending time with our friends Pulsar, Oni Inc., Neptvne, Paul Burns, and some special surprises in Las Vegas.
- Producing the Black Parade Rave and Metalcore Night
- Meeting people from the When We Were Young Facebook group. Seriously such a cool group of people.
- Getting food. While the plan is to live this week on a budget, I definitely plan on putting together a fancy buffet trip (hit me up if you want to join).
- Seeing some side shows: Sunami at Area 15, Emo vs. Nu-Metal @ The Griffin, Emo Night Live Band Karaoke at Swan Dive, and more!
- Seeing the flamingos at the flamingo.
Saturday, October 11 – Pittsburgh, PA
I’m starting this tour blog early. Today’s my birthday, so it seems fitting. Tonight we’re running a special preview edition of The Black Parade Rave at my home venue in Pittsburgh, and then we’re going to transition that into an Emo Night. Our last few events in Pittsburgh have been pretty hype, so I’m hoping that we can continue that trend and celebrate my birthday with friends.
I leave for Las Vegas on Wednesday morning. I’m not sure how I’m getting to the airport just yet. The city busses don’t run that early and I’ve got to be there around 4:00am (giving myself extra time because of the government shutdown).
I’m spending the next few hours preparing for my shows tonight and spending time with my puppy. I’ll post a recap of tonight’s shows late tonight or tomorrow morning. The rest of the week, you’ll see some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into getting to Las Vegas with equipment – while trying to navigate the current economy.
