High on Fire, C.O.C. & Eyehategod at Ottobar (They made a book about this show)

I was at that show. They wrote a book about it??

I am going to assume you don't watch the video.  But if you did, you would see her doing her thing, rocking out on vocals and guitar.  

That solo starting at 1:11... She shreds.  

Crowd surfing at 2:16...

The ending... damn

I am filing a challenge to your alleged trademark of earlier today, with the USPTO.. I think its clear that you lost the rights to the trademark after you freaked out and cancelled your account..... coming back with a different name was an implicit admission that you no longer had the rights to said trademark.

I have a very good friend who works with the USPTO regularly (former Patent Examiner) and another who is currrently at the USPTO so I would suggest you cease use of the name immediately.

[Rogue Riderhood]

I was killsaly way before I posted on here, pal.   

[Rogue Riderhood]

You can find the killsaly origin story on this board, if you search for it. 

[Rogue Riderhood]

And I never "freaked out". 

Jeez.  All of that, ie cancelling accounts, coming back as a different account, etc, was all me having a bit of a laugh.

I am now broke (so much Merch!!!), and really need to win the 930Club raffle.....

[Rogue Riderhood]

I averaged about one show a week this year, definitely not a record year for me (though some weeks it was three shows, and sometimes it was two weeks between shows).

I still have a two day music festival and two shows left this year.

I am usually insane with the merch, but this year I decided to really slow down (I have over 200 concert t shirts, tons of posters, other random shit) though I did pick up a few things.

[Rogue Riderhood]

Screw it... Every show and festival that I went to and every band that I saw at each up to 12/17.  It definitely was a light year for me.

I was sorta kidding about the book.  Had no idea.  That's a pretty cool, but expensive, souvenir of that day.  May pick one up.
