—————
I went to a Dave Mustaine signing earlier in the day at Guitar Center. We got there really early; the signing was at 5:00 PM and we were there at about 10:30 AM. We were there so early, we got to sit inside in the air conditioning. We made some friends. Their band is Bleach Cocktail, btw, go check them out! One guy had Vic Rattlehead (Like from the cover of Rust in Peace) tattooed on his arm, and he was going to get Dave's signature on an empty space so he could get it tattooed. I mean, seriously, how fucking awesome is that? He was so rad. Oh, and Dave almost spelled my name wrong.
While waiting in line for Dave, one of the head people of that particular Guitar Center was handing out signed Alice Cooper posters from when Alice had the signing…what, a week or two ago? Not sure, but apparently Alice stayed up really late into the night signing all of those; so I got one, and I'm extremely happy about it!
I got a Newsted sticker walking out of the club. It was so dark I actually didn't even know it was a sticker. But now that I know it is, EVERYTHING IS FANTASTIC.
So yeah, wow, I had fun. I just love the fact that metalheads are just fucking family, and you could go up to virtually anyone and start a conversation with them like you've known them for years, and you may have never even seen each other before, and you may never see them again. I just think that is so fucking cool.
Also, I got punched in the face. BATTLE SCARS, MOTHERFUCKER.
Oh, I almost forgot! I got my fucking first kiss after a Megadeth show, I mean, man, that's fucking awesome. I have a story to tell my grandkids now.
Love youuu ~
