the horror did me good

I got to meet and see Skinny Puppy at Silver Spring Fillmore on my birthday! I couldn't believe it when they announced the dates and the show closest to me was literally on my birthday. I mean what are the chances? They're one of my favorite bands of all time and it was my dream to see them❤️

In the photos you can see me talking to cEvin, Matthew, Ogre, and Justin and for some reason I got so excited I knelt down a little at first lol I thanked them for making it possible to meet them and for the concert and then I told them it was my birthday and they were so surprised. They all said happy birthday to me which was so nice of them. I was so anxious about taking too long I forgot to to give well wishes to Ogre, but I'm hoping many other fans did!

Ogre was clearly conserving his energy for the show later and it paid off because it was FANTASTIC. I was able to get barricade right in front of Ogre's mic. Every song was perfect, the performances of everyone was perfect. They played my two favorite songs of theirs, Morpheus Laughing and Candle. Again, I'm so thankful for Skinny Puppy to have made this possible, and especially to Ogre for still doing the show despite feeling unwell. I was ready to not see him for VIP, hoping he was resting, but he was there. He does a lot for us fans, as well as the other band members and they always deserve respect and understanding from us🖤

Oh, and at the end of the show Matthew gave me his guitar pick. He was so sweet for it, handing it to me like that with a big fanged smile on his face, it really added to making it the greatest birthday of my life. I'll never forget my experience on the 19th. Thank you so much Skinny Puppy🖤
