i left the guitar in my gf's trunk for the show, and while iced earth was on i waited outside the tour bus... i'm not sure who it was, i don't think it was a band member, but it was a crew member, came out, and i was like "i brought my guitar, i was wondering if the band could sign it" he said something about not knowing where alexi was, said to give him 15 and he'd get it signed... so i go get the ax, find him again, he takes it on the bus, and alexi and roope sign it! it was badass... but when alexi finally came out, he ignored me, signed a few other peoples things, and walked right by me... i figure he was pissed off about the sound of the show, the sound guy messed up a few times... oh well maybe next time i'll get to actually meet him... i'm gonna clearcoat the top of this guitar to make the sig permanent!
