metal.

So last Sunday night my boyfriend, our friend Mark, and I went to see the bands Red Fang, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Mastodon (one of the better venues in D.C.). Our friend Mark writes for examiner.com, and was able to get me a photo pass so I could get in front of the barrier to take photos. I've been dying to get in front of the barrier for years, so I was thrilled when Mark offered me the opportunity.

Mark put up an awesome review of the show, and made a whole gallery of my photos! And, his story made the front page of examiner.com! Here are a few of my favorite shots, as well as what I wore.

Apologies for the subpar iPhone pictures, I took the photos when I got home at the end of the night.

I dressed simply and comfortably because I knew I'd be standing for a long time and since it was a metal show, I wasn't sure how crazy it was going to get. But it was more tame than I was expecting. But for me, concerts in general are not the time to wear fancy dresses and heels/wedges. And when you're without a doubt the only fashion/style blogger in the whole place, it's smart to dress casually and comfortably. Overall, it was a phenomenal show and great night.

Have a great rest of the weekend!
