The Continuing Adventures of X, Y, and Z

B.

The sky was empty of eyes. Finally. Their liquor tainted patients had out smarted theorized creators. Shoulders, light and eager carried supplies for a rotation away from the sofa. Y, younger and inexperienced followed X with a comfortable anxiety. X relinquished his with a four pack of Dry English Hard Apple Cider as they let the flowing mist carry them through buildings and trees. The darkness was thick. Only the flames of someone’s mistake gave us direction of our destination. Color faded in this grey harbor town. Childhood seemed to be lost. X was at home and Y understood. Then they met Z.

 Cautiously out of the woods he greeted them. At first a light hearted dressing coated the appetizer of the evening. Laughter helped light the unknown land. X and Z had experience of this water logged solid soil, and Y was here to experience it. As so many times before, between X and Y now Z had chosen to speak without his ears.

Y found this as a challenge and slid his sounds out of his mouth into a sword of speech. Z quickly embraced his bow and similarly slid an arrow from his mouth and prepared his weapon. Flurries of communication whirl pooled and angered the flame increasing its size and intense heat. Z and Y found themselves battling breath. Arrows grazed Y’s coat and hard thrusts swung wide of Z’s dialogue. Suddenly, through the shadows, X emerged glowing with grammatical furry. He was shielded with the finest of verbs and adjectives and armed with the wildest tales and facts. Combative conversation was declared and war waged through the evening until the last drop of another minds sweet nectar fell to the fires. Still, no equation had been solved.

SSG, I Want Battles Tickets!!!!

Damn the luck of a man with an empty wallet! Upon this glorious day here in the Emerald City, my pocket book became filled again with treats of collections! I enthusiastically awoke at 11:30 am after a brief nightmare and small sips of Cranberry Apple juice. After checking the email, the facebook, and all the b.s. I strolled over to the Crocodile's website to buy tickets to a highly anticipated show (at least in my life) and came to the appropriate page. Two words, CAPS locked, Bold read; "SOLD OUT"!!! I felt similar to the kids in Detroit Rock City and this website totally jacked my KISS tickets. This is no kiss show tho my friends, this is Battles! A band that has taken experimentation of live and electronic instruments to a solid groove canyoning into my dancing shoes. Rustic and alternative, I must be there to observe! It is now up to the hands of few. The people at SSG (http://www.ssgmusic.com/), the people who have brought us the best and most current local, national, and international band reviews articles and opinions. Why, a chap like me might even beg them for a job eventually, but for now I just need the TICKETS!! My fingers are quivering and typing with agile speed to perhaps persuade the mind of control to choose my life and enlighten my soul before another being could be of higher persuasion! And now, only time shall tell....
