Allright so, graspop came to an end and i feel like i owe it to all of you guys who werent there to tell you how all of this ended.

After mailing back and forth with Jay Jay about this he decided to give me a call to talk things through, he told me that i should meet with their security to talk things through and call him back thursday (thats the day before the show) to see if everything would go through and if it did to meet.
So i took the day off on thursday and told my girlfriend i was probably working late i got on my bicycle and rode to the next town about 20 km's away to a friend who was willing to drive me to graspop because i am still working on my drivers licence.
The reason cycled to the next town is because i have bicycle with a big yellow clogg on it you can recognize from miles away and i couldn't take the risk of my girlfriend seeing it somewhere.
When i called Jay Jay he told me they where in and if we could meet at six, as you all will understand there was no way i could say no so at just before six we arrived at the artist entrance of graspop and i tried to call him......
Sadly there where some technical problems with his phone (there where that morning but he called me back with the same number so i figured it would be okay) so i couldn't reach him.
It took a while to convince the guards to let me in but after some convincing (maybe begging is a better word) they decidd to accompany me to the production office of graspop.
Where they told me that nobody of Twisted Sister would be in that evening and politely told me to get the fuck out....
So we waited for another hour untill we gave up hope and decided to head home (remember, i was working late) and try again the next day.
Just as we rode off the parking area my phone rang "hey gus its Jay Jay, where are you we need to meet" 
Ten minutes later he escorted me onto graspop telling the guards as we passed them "it's okay this is our sound guy"
At this point everything still seemed surreal to me walking there alongside Jay Jay and the sound guy whose name i forgot (i'm sorry) while he told me that the reason he contacted me was because he thought i must have some huge balls wanting to propose to my girlfriend in front of 80000 people on stage with twisted sister (don't know about that, shaking knees i did have).
A moment later we where standing on an empty stage in front of an empty field (with Jay Jay pointing out "there will be 80000 people out there tomorrow) while he told me "what will you say, pretend i'm your girlfriend"
I still don't fully grasp that i stood on stage with Jay Jay fucking french telling me to pretend he was my girlfriend.
We walked through what i should do and how everything would go down like after what song "we will try to tell you in advance and you will be standing right here and we will put up the setlist in front of you so you can countdown, thats not better but it'll give you time to get nervous". 
After getting my name on the lists it had to be i was sent on my way home, during the ride home the sky turned pink.
The day of the festival is a bit of a blur as you might understand i didn't get alot of sleep in the time leading up to this and even though i was pretty sure my girlfriend would say yes i have never been this nervous in my life.
Let's skip to the moment me and my girlfriend where onstage, i don't think i realised this was actually happening untill the moment i was supposed to ask Dee for the box with the ring, he was standing maybe two meters away from me kind of chearing me on and at that moment i realised what was happening and i froze, the whole day this moment went through my mind thousands of times but seeing Dee Snyder standing there a few feet away with a crowd of extremely wet metalheads behind him it suddenly hit me what was happening.
Luckily i had my girlfriend there with me and as i turned a little so i saw her the words started to come out of my mouth and everything around us disappeared, all i could see was her eyes tearing up as she said yes.

It was really something i will never forget and right now i'll drink one on all the guys from Twisted Sister and the amazing crew they had with them, you made all of this possible and all the time and effort that went into this i am more gratefull for than i can express in words.
