My evening at Mayday II followed similar courses as have already been described. I listened to some good music and talked to some of my good friends.
Then Seraphim's set came, and I moved up toward the stage to watch them (I like 'em. Plus I'm damn good friends with just about each and every one of them, so fuck those of you who don't like them). Anywho, I was next to Combat Chuck and a certain member of the band's girlfriend, and later on, that same member's brother, just enjoying what we all agreed was a kick ass set. I destinctly remember that when they went into the chorus of 'Inside of Me' there was a strike of lightning that lit up the whole area. It was awesome. Anywho, they did a phenominal job (especially Mikey. He kicked ass on 'Only a Man'. That was the most I've ever seen him get into a song, and it rocked.)
Immediately after that, we were told to move to the little shelter area, but that's just not my kind of scene. I decided instead to make sure that all of the bands had their shit together and put away before I went to the shelter, and what do you know, right when we were finished puting the shit away, the storm calmed down.
Anywho, after that Orgazmo, Ugly Bastard, and myself went storm chasing, but we came up empty in the end. Oh well. You can't win them all.
Kudos to all of the bands that got to play, and good luck to Mikey as he moves down a different path than the rest of Seraphim. You will be missed, buddy.
