I did not mention with sufficient vigor the thorough rocking necrowombiCon attendees faced at the hands of not one, but two bands.
The Tenant opened up, the delicious Tenant, and I was able to secure MP3 files from their MP3 dot com site. Good songs, but I heard things at the actual show that made my hair stand on end. I'll let you know when they have more stuff.
The second band that played I've mentioned a couple times before, and that is because it one of my favorite bands. How it came to be that The Darkest Of the Hillside Thickets were able to play at a Penny Arcade Thing is too joyous to contemplate. They played my favorite songs even, unstoppable ditties like Burrow Your Way To My Heart, Innsmouth Look, The Math Song, and 20 Minutes Of Oxygen. I hardly knew how to react. Then, the Goddamned lead singer played roleplaying games with us the whole next day, unleashing his new game Spaceship Zero that is out on Green Ronin. There may be someone who deserves this sort of finery, but it is certainly not me.
Also, MC Frontalot was in town after his Songfight Live thing, and he assures me that he would rock any microphone we provided for him, so maybe next year? I mean, shit damn. Get The Minibosses in there and I hardly know what I'd do with myself. Caper?
