Sonar, Baltimore, MD.
Seems like we had just finished this drive... as G and I piled into the car and headed up to Baltimore to see Type O Negative at Sonar. We stopped in Annapolis along the way for dinner before heading to downtown Baltimore. We had never been to Sonar before so the location was unknown to us, but after a few twists and turns we found it and parked in the lot across the street. We stood in line for about 45 minutes before being led in. Once inside we found a place up front, and while I held our place G went t-shirt shopping and got us drinks. The opening bands were okay, although I did not like Celtic Frost very much. After waiting with show tunes music, Type O Negative came on. It was a good show and they mostly played songs from their last 3 albums. They finished with Black No. 1 (as usual). As we headed to the car to drive home, we were greeted with a parking ticket for backing into the parking spot.

The Ottobar, Baltimore, MD.
G and I drove up to Baltimore with every intention of stopping at Annapolis for dinner, but when time ran short we instead settled for Taco Bell on the road. We then drove past the Inner Harbor to see the Nekromantix at the Ottobar. We had never been there before, so we did a quick scope out of the layout. We then grabbed a drink at the bar and found two stools with an unobstructed view of the stage while we waited. The opening bands, Orange and Time Again (G's new favorite up and coming Punk Band), were great, but the Heart Attacks sucked. Hopefully that will be the last time we have to suffer through them.
Half way during Time Again we had moved off our stools and worked our way up front, so that we were only 2 people from the stage before Nekromantix came on stage. Watching Kim Nekroman play the stand-up bass was amazing. His fingers moved so quickly as he beat the bass it was so cool. It was such a wonderful show and so worth the price of admission. At the end of the show after playing "Gargoyles Over Copenhagen" and "Who killed the Cheerleader?" Wasted James threw some drum sticks into the crowd and G caught one.
