thanks to the complete assload of awesome people i met on this boat, i had the greatest birthday that a person could ever possibly have. i had to have made 50 new friends this weekend, and with all the drinks people were buying me on my birthday, i got nice and drunk twice in one day. i'll have the majority of my pictures up on my myspace page within the next few days. to those of you i met and spent significant time with (camille, alex, mike, sabina, martin, jeff, etc.), make sure you get me all of your pictures!

@Madtinus What was the reason Steven Wilson was there?

Well, here it is. I suppose that this is the first video that has been posted on the internet. My girlfriend and I shot it. After about a minute or so, I handed the camera over to my girlfriend. You can hear Stefan's drunken voice saying "This is a historical fucking momenet", "They're gonna play Murder, man" and "Take 100 pictures and send them to me". Haha, good stuff.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

lol @ the stefan and the steven wilson incident. He literally is either one of the quietest or arrogant people ive ever met. Ive never met him as a 'fan' either. Just so happens that one of my best and long time friends is the daughter of steve hogarth from marillion and steve is a family friend so i get free porc tree tickets(VIP PERIOEOEODDODOD) when they play. Whenever i meet them, i always talk to wes more and richard (usually about tool lol) because they are genuinely friendly and dont look at you like your beneath them. Steve always make it look like such a chore to talk to fans who really appreciate his music or whatever.

Hey Bill! I sent you a PM here on UM with a link to a zip with all my pics.
I don't know, I guess he was just a guest there, he didn't perform. Haha, yeah, it was right after Katatonia, so the adrenalin was still flowing in my veins I guess@Madtinus What was the reason Steven Wilson was there?
btw Badass pics! Stockholm looks amazing.
I briefly talked to him, not very long, just told him I was a huge fan of him and asked if he enjoyed the Katatonia show, which he said he did.
That was not my experience on the boat actually, I saw him talking to fans, take pictures with them and sign autographs all the time. Also when I went up to him he didn't seem to mind at all. I guess it my appear as if he's a bit arrogant or something because he is not extremely outgoing, he's a rather serious not too smiley person I guess, so that may occur to people as if he doesn't like to talk to fans. But on the boat he was around all the time, I saw him at the warm-up party and both days on the boat he was mostly out where the crowd was, watching he bands etc. If he'd wanted to hide and be left alone, he could have stayed backstage, but he didn't.

Brilliant video! I am so impressed that Mike could get up there and do that while half drunk and nauseous.

Yeah, he was quite annoyed at that moment. I have met him before a few years ago on the Porcupine Tree/Opeth Damnation tour, and he was great. He talked with us for a very long time, and he was obviously very friendly. So, maybe we just caught him at a bad moment. A lot of drunken people were probably bothering him all night, ha. Who knows.

Hey people, just getting home today. Our flight left Arlanda two hours late, so anyone in the Amsterdam airport this morning got to see Kathy and I nearly die running across it to make out flight to Newark. Stockholm is an amazing city! The cruise was incredible. I did get to meet a couple of you, I'm in one of the pics above with the Clutch hoodie. The biggest mistake of the trip was stay in the boat hotel in stockholm (mallarddrotningenn) after how rocky the boat was on sunday night. I'll post more later, but thanks for everyone who made my week in stockholm much more fun and enjoyable (swedes are the nicest people i have come across!)
