Friday was Melissa’s birthday and to celebrate we took a trip to Dallas to have dinner at a place she had been wanting to go to for awhile, Medieval Times. We went ahead and got a hotel along with making some plans for Saturday. My mom was keeping the kids for us which was great. We hadn’t had a night without the kids since May of last year. We normally don’t go anywhere without the kids besides a couple of times a year so a much needed break was in order. Overall it turned out to be an awesome night.
Neither of us had been to Medieval Times before so we were looking forward to it. Unsure of what to expect it was a great experience. As you enter you are greeted as My Lord and Lady and start by meeting the King. They have a pretty nice gift shop area with two bars and a nice collection of swords. They have a small walk-through museum with some methods of torture. Some of which are pretty crazy not only in design but in there uses. (more…)

Last month I saw Sevendust and Saliva in concert and really wanted to go to a bigger show this summer. After Ozzfest was announced as being in Dallas, TX only and the line-up was posted I had that in my sights. I hadn’t been to Ozzfest for a few years after going 4 years straight. Granted I have seen most of the bands at Ozzfest a few I really wanted to see again including Drowning Pool (saw them back in the Dave Williams days, RIP). I ended up waiting a little too long to purchase OzzFest tickets as they only had some crappy seats available, with a notice during checkout that your view of the stage may be obstructed. I really didn’t want to pay $100 for a seat that I may or may not be able to view the stage. So, I looked at the Rockstar Mayhem Fest instead. I have seen Disturbed and Slipknot several times before but would love to see them again with new music. I also wouldn’t mind seeing Five Finger Death Punch, DragonForce and Walls of Jericho. Today I finally purchased my ticket for the July 25 Dallas, TX date. Anybody else going to either Ozzfest or the Mayhem Fest?
