It’s a 22-inch Dell E228WFP. Not actually from Dell though, got it at Future Shop for the same price. I didn’t bother trying to do a dual-screen thing with my laptop ’cause the laptop’s screen is too small and it takes too much effort looking from one to the other. The new monitor runs at 1680×1050 while the laptop is 1440×900 (the laptop screen is 14-ish inches btw. I think. Actually it might be 15. Whatever, who cares.)
So yesterday I went to the Iron Maiden concert. An awesome end to an otherwise boring March Break. Toronto was the band’s last stop of the first leg of their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour (2008) .
This was the first rock/metal concert I’ve been to, so I guess I don’t have much to compare it with. However, I can pretty much summarize it in one word: FUCKING LOUD! Hm, guess that was two words. Anyways, you know that feeling you get in your ears when you go up in an airplane? Yeah well I felt like that, but worse, for about 2 hours after the concert. And when I got home my first thought was “dude, why the hell is it so quiet in here?!”
I’ve listened to most if not all of Iron Maiden’s songs (I have 4GB lying around at home), and I think they played an excellent collection of 16 songs at this concert. Definitely some of my favourites (Fear of the Dark, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, etc.) Only 2 songs which I didn’t recognize were Revelations, and Moonchild. Here’s a list of what they played, if anyone’s interested:
The only thing I can complain about was the shitty band that played at the beginning for about half an hour. Here’s their MySpace (which they advertised :/): http://www.myspace.com/laurenharrisuk.Yeah well anyways, they sucked. The girl couldn’t sing at all, although the drummer and guitarists weren’t THAT bad. Some guy a couple of rows behind me yelled “SHOW US YOUR TITS!”. Lol, dunno, random.
Another thing I found strange was the Air Canada Centre’s disregard for people smoking marijuana. Like, there were 3 guys right in front of me all smoking weed, and nobody did a thing about it. Some lady from security came up to them and talked to them, but as soon as she turned around they resumed smoking. Meh. Also, everybody there was like, those stereotypical heavy metal people, with long hair and funky clothes.
Also, since when did these places stop restricting cameras, etc.? I remember going to some concert about 5 years ago, and it even said on the ticket “LOL DON’T BRING CAMERAS OR WE’LL COME RAPE YOU OMFG”. Well, maybe not in those words, but yeah. Almost everybody there had either a camera or a camera phone. I doubt they got any decent pictures with those, because of the lighting. It’s only the day after and already there’s videos of it on YouTube. Here’s a few:
Egh, shitty quality, but who cares. It was awesome :D.
