Hey Linda, Sara, Wanda, Aja, and Liz,
(also Mark, Chris, and RJ)
That was quite the enjoyable weekend! Sooo many memories! Watching the Exodus soundcheck, Elvis the Paku, the Flea pillow, all the great openers, Sabrina aka Edwina onstage, the KBER interview... remember that metal starts and ends with Maiden! Liz said starts, not started, in which case the Led Zep/Iron Butterfly/etc. argument would have applied. Yes metal was established with those early bands, but these days when you discuss metal Maiden is the band that most metalheads relate to! Sorry, I digressed a bit there... anyways this was one of the most truly enjoyable weekends I've had in a while!!!
BTW, I loved the costumes on Saturday! Especially Raquel Kim...
The openers all performed very well, but I particularly enjoyed the Shredbettie stageshow! BTW, Jason called me AGAIN today and thanked me for lining up the show for them and giving him the chance to hang with Linda and the rest of you gals!
Seeing so many happy/suprised/overwhelmed/psyched people in one weekend is an experience unto itself, what with the energy that you gals constantly instill in people when you play!
