So it shall begin...

It's only one work-week 'til it starts now. Or actually not even that. Only work half Day Friday to get in time for the bands I want to see at the first Day of Muskelrock. There are alot I want to see and I will miss some of it. But I will catch Tysondog, Satan, Rock Goddess, Vardis, Taiwaz, Salem, Neon Rose, Metalucifer, Kat, Mindless Sinner, Diamond Head at least... Will probably be more too. I'm really looking forward to the Festivals this year. Of course I always do but it feels different this year, I've done my homework quite good and studied the bands. And since I hold both the Salem and Diamond Head releases as two of my favorites this far I'm extremely excited to see them live.

It will be a busy summer though. Apart from Muskelrock, Sweden Rock, Copenhell and Metal Magic (only half the summer here...) I'm going to see Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Evil Masquerade / Wasted before the month is over too. June that is.

For Sweden Rock, checking the billing I only listed Michael Schenker Fest,  Symphony X and Death DTA as must see's. But digging deeper... Argh! Hawkwind, Graham Bonnet band, Grand Slam, Eric Bell Trio... Never seen any of them and there's more like this.

Copenhell it's definitely Black Sabbath and really to see Tony Iommi play. But it's a damn cool line-up with Scorpions, Alice Cooper. Some are of course same as SRF, but that's good. Take some off a few of the clashes.

Metal Magic serves Uli Jon Roth but what I look forward to the most there is doubtless Denner/Sherman... Can't be anything but fantastic. But also Deathriders and Manilla Road. Gonna be a Kick-ass event as usual. 

So for sure, it will be a busy summer but also a very fun one. Just need to make sure my camera is charged and I have sufficient memory to cover it all... Gonna be awesome! 

But first, another busy work-week, looking at long and though days. 

Cheers

Hooligans Holiday

So, according to the registration on Agria insurance Maddox and Tipton tunrns 1 year old today. No one really knows ofta course sinne they were found without their moms outside.
Maddox sat, all alone, on the hard shoulder on the freeway, blinded by an eyeinfection just a meter from the traffic. That someone saw him, stopped and handed him in to the cat-shelter says he's one hell of a lucky cat.
Tipton was found with his siblings in the engine of a tractor, no mom in sight, hungry and cold.

When we first met them they were tiny tiny kittens of ca 8 weeks of age. 6 weeks later they moved to the Void Mansion and been making a mess since. Nothing is safe in the house anymore. They jump around as much that they set off the alarm on occasion. Sometimes it feels like we got more than two cats, they're everywhere!

Even if I don't enjoy being woken up at 4am by Tipton gently biting my toes ord just stomping on me. On the other hand, he's adorable when he wants to cuddle purring like crazy.

Maddox wants to be close all the time. Preferably on me, or mainly Peter but anyone goes really. I've been waking up clearly feeling a cat-butt in my face. Not so much fun but again, what's cozier than having a sleeping cat next to you.

So, happy birthday to Maddox and Tipton today!

Cheers
