Slayer, FivePoint Amphitheater

Getting ready for Slayer at FivePoint Amphitheater in Irvine, California.

We’re going to miss Testament and Behemoth, since we’re still on the way to the venue.

Parking is an issue.

We’re in the venue now. Missed Anthrax’s set.

Lamb of God is playing a few minutes after 8:00 pm.

It looks like Slayer will start their set around 9:30 pm.

According to several Apple Store employees, significant numbers of customers coming in to exchange their recently purchased iPhone X with the SIM-free iPhone X.
