Location: Baltimore, MD | Hmmmph. No polar bears at Antartica. sheesh. I'm sorry...but I'm not going all the way to Antarctica to see Metallica if I can't pop open a Coke with a polar bear.
Oh, yes! back to Twisted. Well, I'll stick with Dubai--there is actually a heavy metal festival there coming up. China would just rock my world--although the travel there is crazy long!
I will say that I prefer shows that AREN'T in my backyard--I've had 3 shows in Maryland. The best one was their Christmas show in Baltimore--what I enjoyed the most was meeting some friends at a diner after--but there's something about sleeping in my own bed after the show that I found kind of a bummer. I never in a million years thought I'd ever say this (as one who was terrified to travel) but I love the whole process now of travel. The packing....the journey...arrival at the destination...settling into a new hotel room...exploring a new town/city....finding a gem of a place to eat... It builds the excitement and anticipation. After the shows, once the adrenalin wears off, I get a little depressed, and something about traveling home is cathartic. That, and I now find that a little bit of chocolate helps. (learned that one from Dee!)
