Looks like there will be at least one more Finn in addition to Thunderstone..

I hope I'm not sounding any selfish by creating a thread for this but I do get asked like daily if I'm making it over the pond this year for the festival so I figured it'd be fine.. and the answer is:

Wooo it seems like I will make it over again this year! Just had my birthday a couple of days ago and some way cool folks gave me the best present by chipping in some flight ticket $ (thanks so much again, you know who you are!). That added to my savings should be enough for the flights.

So I'll be looking into different flight options now as I want to spend a few extra days in the US, probably going somewhere east coast since it's cheaper to fly there than to Atlanta. September can't come soon enough, can't wait to see you all again!

Hahaha, last time I cracked that joke I was put in a headlock

I started with an arm bar but made a successful escape by pointing and saying "Look Aki! Free New Castle!"

Then I ran away.......

HAHAHA classic!

The more Scandanavian the better! It is my life's goal to visit a metal fest up there!

Yay Aki! I'm sorry I won't get to see you, though.

Maybe he'll be good enough to find a way up to Jaxx to catch for Kamelot/Epica while he's in the states.

Hey Cool! I'm glad you're gonna make it! I look forward to meeting you. Plan on going to Six Flags on Sunday man! Tell Tom and the guys to come too.

Who is Aki?

 

[Pellaz]

Great news, Aki....even though we know you're not actually from Finland. Timo Kotipelto himself said so, and therefore it must be tr00.

Evidently, spending time in a straight jacket gives you a chance to learn a lot about your homeland. =D
