I went to the mall after work yesterday to buy presents for my sister's birthday. Went into Hot Topic and the guy that works there that I was talking to told me they just got some OPETH shirts in two days ago. I was wearing my Opeth tour shirt from the last tour that has the red marble logo and the band on the front. So, of course I'm all curious and go look what's there. They ACTUALLY had the Blackwater Park tour tshirt (one I don't have) and they had SMALL, MEDIUM, extra large and 2XL!!! I damn near died, as I have NEVER EVER seen a size small in a regular non-girlie tour shirt. Of course I bought it. That small is like my medium tour shirt I had on so I wonder where it was made.
Another cool thing that happened... When I went to the Exodus/Imagika gig on March 20th here, a guy came up to me and asked me if I was the photographer from the Death Angel gig last year (I had a DA girlie on). Yup that was me. He had asked me about some bands for him to listen to and I mentioned Opeth. He knew the name, but not the music. I told him to get BWP first and then MAYH if he liked that one too. He told me at the Exodus gig that he was happy I told him about Opeth because he now owns ALL their cds, the DVD, some stickers AND he and a friend of his drove to the Los Angeles gig in January (like me) so he could see them twice! Man, I didn't know I was that influential. LOL So he asked me for some more bands. WOOHOO! Another metalhead converted to an Opeth fan.
