Did anyone catch that Elvenking's vocalist (also from Italy) yelled out "HOW MUCH ARE YOU?" It made me laugh and immediately think of the Secret Sphere-thing.

Cheers - looking up the Residence Inn price just before leaving and finding out that it is $45 cheaper than what it was reserved at, and getting them to adjust it at check in. - Riverside - Elvenking - Diablo Swing Orchestra!!!! - Glenn and the crew - Lars for slipping his Manticora wristband on...

She was Mrs. Thomas Youngblood. I didn't think it was thaaat bad. No one mentioned the Angel Dust stage dive. Everyone cleared out before the vocalist hit the floor. The Pain of Salvation practical joke during soundcheck. Daniel was led to believe that his guitar was flown back to Sweden at...

Darn! I was about to start the "Not going on Thursday...." thread. :-) United and Marta better run on time tomorrow.

I wasn't there, but it seems as if his stuff was more suitable for some Chicago artsy venue with people sipping pricy coffee than at a metal show. I remember he wandered onto the stage during Kamelot's set on the wrong song(?) when he was guest appearing, and got the impression that he was a...

Starfire Swords has really good stuff. I went elsewhere for my rapier to save $ and got a you-get-what-you-pay-for product. Better to save money and get a beautifully crafted one.

Something off the Virgin Black interview that was very interesting: Vocalist: "Following the recording and release of Sombre Romantic I caught wind of an elite opera teacher in our city. Agim Hushi who had the same teacher as Pavarotti. I contacted him with a view to possibly gain something...

Johanne James, the very talented drummer of Threshold, has his own band Kyrbgrinder and is looking to play gigs in the U.S. If you are interested in seeing them live and know people who can hook them up for gigs, he would very much appreciate it. More rock than metal. Unfortunately, I don't...

I bought a Canon PowerShot A710IS for its UW video/photo capabilities for Australia snorkeling. Excellent overall camera. Need to buy a dedicated UW housing but all buttons are accessible, if I remember correctly.

You fixed me up with the Loreena McKennitt, 2CD/DVD last time. Anything else from her would be much appreciated. Thanks. (sending email per instruction...)

Here are 3 photos from my recent arctic trip. Fog and polar bear sightings prevented many landing excursions, so not much hiking.

Payne's Gray. Listening to Elvenking's Pagan Purity made me think of them. ARK, of course

I know Pellaz wouldn't let me down. I don't have a profile on the halberd penguin, but the one holding the mace is apparently called Mitchell "Bear Killer" McGraw, and can't say words beginning with "R", according to www.evil-penguins.co.uk/profiles.html They're publishing 6 Evil...

Of course not. That's why I trim my husband's neckbeard every night. Damn linux users :)
