I had a mood killer a minute or two ago. Not much on that one. I still need some clarification on it, so we’ll see where that goes.
Home, and by that, I mean my apartment in Italy, is getting closer and closer. My thoughts drift to the layer of dust on EVERYTHING that probably awaits me. Next time, I need to ake sure to cover things with a sheet.
Last night, we had an AC/DC cover band called ThundHerStruck play out here. Now, I’m not a huge fan of AC/DC. I guess that’s what happens when West Point takes to playing “Back in Black” and “Thunderstruck” for the football team, right before we lose another season. Nonetheless, I’m definitely a rock fan, so I decided to check it out.
The band is pretty damn awesome. Granted, it’s an all female band, too, so that’s a plus. I remembered that they were actually supposed to come out to the FOB that I was at during the 4th of July last year, but do to some issues involving the Afghan Security Forces (ASF), some unauthorized sketches of the base layout, and Special Forces deciding to put the ASF in handcuffs, ThundHerStruck was cancelled.
After the show, I was able to meet the girls, and I told them about what had happened on our end, and they remembered getting cancelled for that gig. They were really cool, and I got a signed poster and a picture with them (I had to edit out two Air Force idiots):
I guess their normal drummer wasn’t with them, hence the older guy that was there. He was an actually drummer for AC/DC, so that had to be cool for them. I didn’t have my camera when they were on stage, so I don’t have any pics of them rocking out, but they will be playing in Germany at the end of the month, so maybe I’ll go see that.
Black 6, out.

Hello, Glad that you finally made it back “home”. It’s wonderful you got to hear the band and get poster/picture. Yes, I know you’re busy what with dusting and stuff (smile). However, I have a big favor. I have tried, tried, and thought you might be able to help me out. How do you get the links to work as you have in your Previous Entries of Interest? I have tried, but of course so far have failed. If you help me with this I would really appreciate your assistance. Take Care, Sharon in GA
