Just found out that Dir en Grey is coming back through the states after finishing up their European leg of the tour.  I saw them 8/10 a year ago in St. Louis, and now in December I'll be heading back to Chicago where I just saw CoF this past March to see Dir en Grey again as they come back through the states.  I'm super psyched and I cannot wait to see them perform again, as last time was only the first time to see them. Also last time, I found out about the concert only 4 days prior to the concert and the VIP's were sold out, I'm hoping this time to be able to get them as it's still so soon before the concert.. crossing my fingers  



So Sorry if I have not replied to any comments, faves, or watches..  Believe me,  it is appreciated, more than you know.  It is merely because I have been extremely busy with life, reality and priorities.  I assure that you have not been forgotten.  I will reply as soon as I have some spare time to do so.  I've been so out of it..

Meanwhile Autumn is approaching and encroaching my time as well.  I will be anxious to break out my camera, thus consuming the time I would normally be online.  Yet I will start replying now and make my way through my messages as life will allot me the time to do so..

I hope that life is treating all of you well.  Please take care and I hope to catch up very soon with all of you..

   Alright, so I was really getting into this movie and I'm listening to the music/OST while watching it, knowing the bits of music were familiar, and I was almost sure of who it was..  I was proved to be correct when at the end of the movie, during the credits, they started playing *Clever Sleazoid*  the soundtrack songs of Dir en Greys' *MACABRE*.  This movie may not be for everyone, yet I myself, personally, LOVED this movie.. I can't believe I had not seen it yet being the movie fanatic that I am.  Especially these sort of movies.  I highly recommend this to people who are fans of this sort of movie.  And of course, the music rocks!

          

HERE IS A SYNOPSIS OF THE MOVIE FROM WIKIPEDIA:  

Death Trance is a 2005 Japanese action/fantasy film directed by Yuji Shimomura, the action director for Versus and Devil May Cry 3. It stars Tak Sakaguchi of Versus fame as the anti-hero with co-stars Kentaro Seagal (the son of Steven Seagal in his action film debut) and Takamasa Suga. The film is the directorial debut of Shimomura, and similarities can be seen between it and Ryuhei Kitamura's Versus. Both films, among other things, take place primarily in a forest, both involve a dark sword bearing antihero played by Tak Sakaguchi battling a supernatural being. The soundtrack features songs by the rock band Dir en grey.
[edit] Synopsis

In an unknown place and unknown time, a master swordsman by the name of Grave (Tak Sakaguchi) searches for the ultimate battle. After hearing tales of a mysterious coffin kept and guarded at the Tougan Temple he decides to steal it. Legend has it that if taken to a specific spot in the desert, the coffin will grant any man's deepest desire. However, others say that inside the coffin rests the Goddess of Destruction who was banished from Heaven for trying to destroy the world and that releasing her will bring about the Apocalypse. A young monk from the Tougan Temple (Takamasa Suga) is sent to retrieve the coffin and prevent it from being opened. But many other forces are also searching for Grave and his prize (both human and not) and an all-out free-for-all ensues as they all struggle to discover the secret power of the coffin.

CHECK IT OUT!!

Emilie Autumn photos, more Cradle photos, and Artworks on the way... Both of my computers [Desktops] power supply had conveniently went out at the very same time.   Of course, I fixed the one with the better Graphics cards first.  However, the one with all of the recent photos I had taken of Cradle is still down.. I will be picking it up within the next week or so and hooking it back up and will continue to post more of those photos.  Meanwhile, I have the Emilie photos on the SD cards still and will sort through them and post some of those.  I'll also be working on some Digital/Mixed Media/Photo-Manipulation & Traditional Artworks as well.

I went to see Cradle of Filth yesterday in Chicago and it was freaking cold there! I left 70 degree temps and headed into rain and temperatures right at freezing. I'm back home now, I arrived back home this afternoon, crashed out for the rest of the afternoon and evening and now I'm sifting through the concert photos. It was an unforgettable and most memorable concert!! However, it was really hard to get photos with being moshed and squashed and with crowd surfers coming over my head and security kept getting in front of the camera to catch them LOL It was pure madness!! Insane!! However, I loved every minute of it!!  The House of Blues is a really nice venue, the Bands sounded really great. I Loved all of their performances, Daniel Lioneye, Nachtmytstium and Turisas rocked the house as well.  I have absolutely no regrets and I'm so glad that I went. I was cabbing it everywhere and after the concert, I only had about 5 hours to leave back to  St.Louis, thus I stayed up the entire night, watching the outer limits on the big screen and viewing the photos on my camera, waiting to board and come home. Cradle gave us a most excellent performance!  Chicago rocked! Can't wait to see them again, hopefully after their upcoming Symphonic works they will tour again.  I cannot wait to visit Chicago again, loved the people and the atmosphere! Reminds me a lot of New York in some ways.

Now awaiting Emilie Autumn on March 11th, which will be an Excellent show as well, I'm sure of it!
