How? I know I´ll be back in Germany then, going just to do a course which takes place once a month on a weekend, therefore I have time.
Money is the other, my private lil secret ^^ working hard and a bit of luck is my combination.
 
I don't have many shows coming up. I would, but failure of not having a job. =\

I'll be working on Screamfest here in a month though, I'm looking forward to that.

Sonata Arctica, Ensiferum, Cynic, Destroyer666, Dark Funeral, Edguy, Rotting Christ and Spawn of Possession plus a whole heap of Aussie bands, many of whom are friends of mine. And then I also know a fuck load of people going, so it'll just be one massive NYE/NY party! :)
 
Tomorrow: Deep Insight
Then in December twice Sonata Arctica, once Jesus on Extasy and twice Faun...and maybe once Sava...lets see...
 
6 December: Rammstein, Combichrist
12 December: Arch Enemy, Destruction, Triosphere, Abigail Williams
7 March : Finntroll, Eluveitie, Equilibrium, Alestorm, Arkona, Varg, Dornenreich
 
Okay, some sort of date line going on now. <3 for finding my diary.

I'm trying to convince wife to go with me to Virginia for Sonata Arctica's last show of this tour. It's been said they won't tour again until 2012!! Springfield, Virginia is about two and a half hours of driving away; and Sonata Arctica is her favourite band.

cheers,

(was also looking forward to seeing Alestorm, but judging from the Youtube clips I´ve seen they´re not that good live)

I am not sure what you're watching, but they are an awsome band live. It's not as much them covering the stage and doing cartwheels as it is how they get the audience going.

^Check the clips from Wacken 2008, especially Captain Morgan. The singer hits the wrong note more often than not and doesn´t have much power in his voice. The band sound like it´s the first time they play togethher. Perhaps most of their fans are too drunk to notice though. :p

I´m sure I´ll enjoy the show anyway.:)
