What CD are you addicted to at the moment?
I wouldn't say addicted but I've been listening to Edguy's newest album Tinnitus Sanctus a lot.
Who is one band that you used to like, but now you can't stand?
Metallica. Now their songs bore me to tears. Ah well.
Have you ever been on anyone's guest list? Whose?
Nope. Though I have been on a crew list ;)
Last band person that you got a picture with:
Dirk Schlachter at the Gamma Ray/Helloween show in October. He kept cracking me up while C was trying to take the picture. Not to mention that I was surprised how tall he was in comparison to me. I could have sworn he was closer to Kai's height instead.

Do you ever do anything crazy at shows?
Not really.
What are your favorite venues to go to shows at?
Clubs because you're up close and personal. Though then you get the stupid kids....
What band do you have the most performance pictures of?
Edguy. Four years and counting. Though technically I would have the most of TSO if they allowed me to take any pictures :(
Would you ever get a tattoo representing a band?
No thanks.
How many concerts do you average a year?
I think I did around 15 shows this year which is the most. Before that I was only going to maybe 3-5 shows. Bands were avoiding us like the plague so I traveled to them ;)
Upcoming shows?
Alestorm on March 15, 2009. An early birthday present for me :)
