Silverstein at Irving Plaza

Dressed with some of the best costumes in the venue, Silverstein performed a 10-song set at Irving Plaza last Thursday as part of the Tracing Back Roots tour also featuring Chunk, No Captain Chunk! and We Came as Romans. 

The six-man grouped rocked costumes from Breaking Bad will playing some of their newest hits of their last album "This is How the Wind Shifts."

Here's one pic I was able to snap before getting kicked and pushed around by the enthusiastic crowd.

151... And Counting

One hundred and fifty-one days out from the triathlon. We're finally experiencing some spring-like weather in the area, making outside runs much more enjoyable. This past weekend flew by and unfortunately I didn't get a chance to get out and get some miles in. Yesterday I ran a short two miles (17:32) around South Orange and everything felt good. Tracy has already warned me I'm not going to like Wednesday's workout so that should be interesting!

My workout plan for this week is looking like this:
Tuesday - Lift
Wednesday - Run
Thursday - Run
Friday - Lift
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Run

We'll see if this week continues to go as planed.

April 15 - Muse at MSG
May 17 - Birthday at Medieval Times
May 19 - Skate and Surf
May 25 - Attack Attack! at Gramercy in NYC

Now Playing - Bring Me the Horizon - "Sleep Walking"

The Next 48 Hours

... Are going to be rough. Tonight my roommate and I are going to see A Day To Remember in NYC as part of the Right Back At It Again tour. Tomorrow I'm working from 5:30 AM to 1:00 PM with two half hour breaks in there and then scattered clients until 9 PM. Thursday is just as rough, but at least I get out early to spend some QT time.

Now Playing - Parkway Drive - Anasasis (Xenophontis)

End of Week Musings

The Anberlin show this past Wednesday was awesome! They had really good energy and stage presence and played some serious hits. 

This song, "Modern Age" was awesome! Give it a listen!

See more Instagram photography of mine here.

First Day of Spring

Spring has finally sprung, or at least it was supposed to, but it looks like Old Man Winter didn't get the memo. Some brisk temperatures are still lingering, but hopefully for not much longer.

Tonight I'm going to see Anberlin at Irving Plaza. It will be my first show in a while and the first of a few to come. Excited for A Day to Remember next week - hopefully I'll return without any battle wounds. Last time I was at Irving Plaza was for an Escape the Fate show in May 2012. A crowd surfer kicked the back of my ear and cut it open pretty badly getting blood all over one of my favorite shirts. I doubt history will repeat itself tonight since ETF and Anberlin are quite different.
