@ufomagnet: nice pic man haha. you can see some of my brootal nosebleed.

Yeah, and your bloody bloody paper tissue got stuck under my shoe so while walking down the stairs to the back stage area after the gig I scraped it off and went "-Eeeeeeeeeeeew!" I should have asked Jonas to sign it for you.

 

[MadTinus]

@ Stefan, likewise man, really cool to talk and hang out in real life! Hope your foot/ankle and nose are OK now I've also got a nice pic of you and your girl btw, I'll have it up soon!

I still feel like I'm on a boat btw!!

haha.. im just happy that i was pretty drunk. I just kept rocking out to the gig despite all the blood. Total massacre yeah.. a jonas renkse signed blood tissue would be a quite grim collectors item

hahah.. yeah im okay. I just cant believe I fell in those stairs TWICE. Koff 7,5 is one merciless beer. Nice, really looking forward to seeing the pics We kinda forgot to take pictures with everybody we were hanging out with and stuff

yeah.. the sjögång was pretty brutal around the gig

 

[brownden]

Sorry about that guys! Blabbermouth.net apparently likes men.....and so do i

 

[Cis]

What a perfect weekend!!!!
When did I last meet so many great people in one place?!
Every single band was good, better, guess which one was best....
It was quite an adventure to catch my flight home but I made it last minute
More later, need to sleep now.
Hugs to all the mellofellows& missed you's to the Katameetingpeople who couldn't come.

Oh yeah, sjögång, that was it I still feel it, how weird :/

Anyway, here's the pic

Say hi to your girl (forgot her name...) for me!

All my pics are up on my MySpace now. I'll post some more here later.

@ Cis, glad you're home safe! Sweet Mello-dreams!

 

[stefan86]

hehe.. thanks for the pic and what the hell am I doing in it? hah. I'm really missing the boat. I could've been there for a week

 

[Belligerent]

Sure sucks living in the U.S.
I'd give my left nut to have been on that boat meeting all you cool Kat's.
Boozing it up with Tinus and Stefan especially would be hellacool! One day maybe, one day.

 

[Bleak Eyes]

I just got back from my last flight. It was delayed 2 hours for some reason. Awesome stuff. I am tired, and my head hurts, so I will post something more informative later on.

 

[stefan86]

@Belligerent: hopefully there's another opportunity. these forum gatherings are pretty rocking

@Bleak_Eyes: oh man.. that must've sucked immensely. I feel a bit bummed that we didn't get to say a real goodbye btw. we fell asleep in the cabin and overslept until the boat got to stockholm haha. real nice seeing you man

 

[EternityRites]

I am still recovering today, so my ability to describe the experience is limited. The boat rocking during Katatonia was complete bullshit, but the rest of the trip was really amazing. ufomagnet, I wish I had known your face before going, but thank you for being polite to me in the pit the couple times we met, it sucks being really small. I look forward to seeing your photos

I really really enjoyed meeting those of you I did see, for those of you I didn't, I hope to see you soon the next time I am in Stockholm. I think I recognize some of you but I wasn't sure, and being shy I am not a good person to run up to people, so I apologize!

Here is some video of Katatonia:

[Verwuestung]

cam anyone tell me how the Comus performence was? they were there weren't they?

 

[EternityRites]

I am not a fan of Comus, but objectively I can tell you they sounded very very good. Mike Akerfeldt has a better review ->here

 

[nizzon]

Nice video there!
Would be awesome if we could se Murder with Micke, hope someone captured that special moment on video.

 

[Bleak Eyes]

I did. I will try putting it up later.

 

[MadTinus]
