I have to add this retraction–and in my defense, I was incredibly tired AND that damn sound check really was remarkably loud!

I did get to meet Diesel Dahl (great guy!)–I had his name jotted down in my notebook–and inadvertently scribbled Hakon’s email next to it. (so if you clicked on the link looking to TS photos and got….nothing…mea culpa. My apologies)

Hakon is also a fantastic fellow–a huge Twisted Sister fan of many years–and if you enjoyed the Live at Wacken DVD (who didn’t??!!) the DVD cover and booklet is his handiwork.

It’s 2 am in Trondheim right now. As usual, we’ve been sitting around telling stories that I can simply NEVER repeat to even my closest circle of friends and I’m so wired now, I’m just hoping I can get some sleep.

I can’t think of a time or place when I’ve been happier. My life is perfect at this moment, exactly the way it is, right here, right now.
