In an effort to curb bordom I and a few friends have started a photo contest. The stakes are going to be high, the one who wins, gets crowned that months champion and gets beer. And not the crappy Korean beer either, good beer, from Belgium. I have posed a link to the site over on the right side link menu, ya the one that says "photo contest" go figure. I have also posted a link to slrclub.com a korean site for photo enthusiasts. It is a pretty good site for up to date Korean photos, most of them are photoshopped to hell and some times guys just post photos of girls at car shows but it is worth a look and it gets refreshed every day.

For the last month, I have also been looking for Tool tickets in Seoul. I knew they were playing there but have been having no luck finding them at all. No matter what I searched I could not find the tickets at all. Last night I managed to come across Metallica tickets in Seoul. Now seven years ago I would have been all over that, I don't know if I have matured or Metellica has just gotten to sucking lately. I think it is the later. Out of a whim though I looked into the concert and found out strangly enough that it was on the same day as the Tool concert. And in the same place to boot. After more research, I found out that Tool was not playing in Seoul, they were opening for Metallica in Seoul. No wonder I could not find tickets, the tickets were being advertised as Metallica tickets.

So now I have a dillema. The tickets are rather expensive. If I go for it it will be three times the price that I have ever paid for a concert ticket. 120,000 to be excact. Alex mentioned to me that there is a big festival in Osaka and guess what, Tool will be playing there too. The tickets for a full day of music with 20+ bands is just a few dollars more than going to see the concert in Seoul. However for those of you who know your geography and have been paying attention, Osaka is in Japan. Ryan is in Korea. Now these might sound close, and I guess by some standards they are, I have travelled farther to see a concert, it will be quite an endevour to get over to Japan for a music festival. I just don't know if I can pull it off. However if any one out there would like to sponsor me I would be more than willing to accept.
