Probably should have mentioned this around here sooner, but I’m now back from Worcester, MA where Wassy and I went to catch a Dream Theater headlining show during their tour with Iron Maiden. The weekend was, in a word, awesome. Earlier in the week we had started to get worried because it was looking like

So, I finally get a chance to actually write up my experiences with going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra on their first ever non-winter tour. My parents and I went out to Syracuse on Sunday to catch the show at the Landmark Theater. After a quick pit stop at Tully’s for dinner, we headed to the
