I am somewhat waking up again. I have hot coffee and I'm about to launch Sims3. My feet still ache slightly and I have "The Phantom of the Opera" stuck in my head since last night.
And what an amazing night it was. It actually started around lunch, when Niclas told me he might have a ticket for me for the Christmas Metal Symphony concert later in the evening, if his contact follows through to the free tickets. I somewhat reluctantly agree to go, expecting to be alone, since Boy and Niclas would be doing computer things and Erik was working stage-building-things already.
I get bored around 5pm, knowing full well that the doors won't open until 7 pm, and walk down towards the venue, making a detour to pick up a cheeseburger to tide me over blood sugar wise. I meet Boy and Niclas at the lobby of the venue and suddenly, in a whirlwind of motion, I am backstage, eating with Niclas while Boy is trying to fix wi-fi for none other than Joey Belladonna (Anthrax). Niclas managed to fix the wi-fi problem by hotspotting his phone, so for about an hour, he was ISP for Joey Belladonna.
Suddenly, I have been gifted with a Security pass and got told to stand guard by the gate separating the crowd from the backstage area. And that's where I end up standing all night. Perfect view of the stage, in perfect range of the speakers. Just me, my gate, and hair-raising good performances by Joey Belladonna, Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Chuck Billy (Testament), Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O, ex- Accept), and Michael Kiske (ex- Helloween).
Not even the cold rain on the way home could ruin the evening for me. I fell asleep with a smile on my face. Today should prove to be another great day, with The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug waiting at 5.45 pm.
