We got press passes to Maloof in DC! Apparently we are a legitimate media outlet! Nick Ghobashi shot some photos and Chris from Sevenfold wrote the following to me in an email…

“Thanks for giving me the spot on your list, it was a little strange, I had to show the girl the email on my phone and then she got smart with me and asked where my equipment was and I told her I was I writing and would be writing about the way she treated me haha… it was all good after that, the behind the scenes lounge was like a industry high school reunion, I saw so many people I haven’t seen in years. The vending area was a bit creepy/kooky I heard that people in the bleachers were throwing back the active t’s they were handing out. Speaking of the bleachers in the finals we had a crazy college football atmosphere with the Pit Crew heads and Bobby’s homey’s had B-O-B-B-Y letter boards they were holding up, Paul tossing the SPoT guys beer from the bleachers, best contest crowd ever. I posted a few little clips on my and Sevenfolds facebook pages today. I’m glad I went and thanks for making it so I didn’t have to sneak back to the VIP.”

So there, we covered a major contest. I’m glad I couldn’t go because I probably would have hated it but it’s rad that the Maloof’s are making permanent parks that get left for the community after the contest is over… Keep it up Maloof peoples, even us old grouchy fuckers can’t really argue that what you’re doing is rad.
