Its been a while Boys!!

Sailors,

I have been traveling the seven seas over the past month or so and finally have some time to tell you about it. The site is kicking ass and so are all the metal covens out there! Starting with before my vacation to Maui!

1st show - Raven and Hirax at Safari Sam's in Los Angeles. What a little fun place to hang and party in! Raven was one of my favorite bands growing up, seen them several times throughout my metal journey and that night was a blast Aug 23, 2008. All the heads were there in full force. One of the best screams in metal is John Gallagher, they did not disappoint and it was so intimate. Check out my buddy Oleg's NWOBHM site, www.myspace.com/nwobhmcornershow , we had a great reunion, hopefully video is going to surface of this show.

2nd show- Maui 2008 If any of you get a chance to go here, GO!! It is the most tranquil and peaceful place ever. Had great times with friends from Seattle and Brooklyn, NY. I really got into snorkeling and kicking back. Damn the sky and the water are so blue you can see for miles. The water was 75 degrees and you could watch the stars move, magical!! Check out J13 in all his glory!

3rd show - Children of Bodom and Black Dahlia Murder. This was another great show! Somehow I got into the VIP are and got to watch the show devoid of being trampled! I can still bang so no worries but had an awesome view. Black Dahlia Murder I have seen and they really were tight. I think I was there more for the musicianship of Children of Bodom and man I got it! What a great night about 30 feet from the stage with a perfect view. Rob Lowe the actor was even hanging in the VIP, it was a great show and time!!



TOMORROW NIGHT- AMON AMARTH, ENSIFERUM, BELPHEGOR at the Avalon. A place the Capt. and J13 know intimately now, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD!!!

Well thats it for now. Crazy talks of Disturbed in Canada in December and Swedish Rock Fest next year 2009.
