Fun night...
Got to Mark's at 9:20. I asked Mark if he would show me his very large... CD collection. Got to the city in no time. Hung out at the bar and pounded a few Guinness' before Nemtheanga and friend arrove at 10:45. Mark's "friend" Kerry and her friend Leslie arrove shortly thereafter.
Alan is a very cool guy. Very approachable, very bright, very political. We chatted about all things Primordial, Metal, touring, Bathory and a lot about politics.
At about 4:30AM we headed to Kerry's place to crash (thank goat, no one was capable of operating a motor vechicle). The wife and I slept in the warmest room on the planet. At 9:30AM it occured to Mark that when you park in a spot, with a sign in front of it reads, "Parking only allowed between 7PM and 7AM", it's probably wise to pick up your car before 10AM. Sure enough, Mark's car was towed. Got to see the city impound. I'm willing to be Hell isn't as depressing looking. We also got pulled over on on our way back to Mark's house. Apparently, it's illegal to drive the speed of light in a 55 MPH zone.
Got home this AM at 11:30, after getting maybe a total of 2 hours sleep. Finally crashed out at 2PM, slept till 6PM and just now ate breakfast. Good times.

Ha ha, good write-up Zodster. Alan says "take care, mate" btw.
So last night wasn't anywhere near as exciting, but still pretty cool. I was DEAD tired, tried to weasel my way out of hanging out, but Alan & his buddy would have none of it. Got into the city by about 10 PM or so, met them at some cool bar in Tribeca, called m1-5 (check it at www.m1-5.com ) - began pounding drinks again, though this time I just stuck to the beers. By midnight, there was a hip-hop party about to begin, so Alan said, and I quote "We need to get the fuck out of here before I kill someone."
Decided that we'd just head back to Queens to hang at his buddy's place, stayed up until 4 AMish pounding beers & headbanging to all sorts of cool shit (apparently Alan DJs in his spare time). By the time I had drunk my 14th beer of the night, I was passing out sitting upright and spilling beer on myself, Alan suggested I go to sleep. I asked, "aren't you drunk?"
"No, not even close." Mind you, I could no longer see. Heh, Irish.
Being the awfully nice bloke that I am, I offered Alan a ride to his flight (out of NJ this evening), so he came back to my place to chill out for the day. Went out to eat, listened to lots of cool metal (he loved Gojira, btw, and to be honest, it kicked my dick in as well), watched soccer (what?!) and then that was that. He's a fucking killer dude, very down-to-earth and fun to just talk shit with.
Anyway, here's just a couple pics, b/c I know lurch wanted "proof."
Alan, chilling on my couch (reading Stuff Magazine, no less)
Alan & meself
As a thank you for the ride to the airport, he GAVE me this BAD FUCKING ASS Primordial sweatshirt, so here's 3 shots of it:

awesome dude ... sounds good ... of course taking a creepy pic of him reading Maxim was ok by you ... but taking one of the gang in a bar was too weird
fucker ... left my cell in the car last night ... and got your message this afternoon ...
I would write that you should have called me if you were in Rego Park but my cell was in the car anyway ... pfff
Gugs, you will make the thanks list on the next disc for sure

Erik said:
email Alan directly ---> nemtheanga AT hotmail.com
I told him all about you Erik, nothing gay, just that you're in a cool band, were from Umea, and really dug Primordial. You should definitely say hello, he'll know who you are at this point.

Be still, O wand'rer!
Holy Canoli, the Primordial stories over the last week have been so cool. I mean, fucking RC contingent gets into everything like the rats we are!
We'll probably have Gene Simmons turning up to RC fest just to see what all the fuss is about with this "Royal Carnage" crew.
I love the "Sons of Morrigan" quote on the shirt -- it's the same quote that's on the shirt I bought last week. Poetry man, just poetry.

He's probably going to be pretty wiped out for a day or so, he spent much of today complaining that he got no sleep in the USA
He did say he's got at least 30 of those hoodies though

Nemtheanga and I spent 2 days arguing about whether or not NYC is "the greatest"
Sample argument:
me: "New York City is the greatest city in the world"
Nemtheanga: "Right, how many cities in the world have you been to?"
me: "um, none?"
Nemtheanga: "Right then."
Repeat ad nauseum
