Yep, I'm going to the NYC show. See ya there!

Only one regret:
I just realized, I will be only about 45min. from Montreal when they play there, but I'll be visiting relatives and won't be able to sneak out for the show. :x Damn.
Oh well, mustn't get greedy. :wink:

That's OK, the Strato show was also a great excuse for me to visit my family. :lol:

And to answer the question, oh yes, I am definitely psyched. A week from tomorrow, I will see Strato once again!!! :rvd:

I doubt you will. :P

Unless you get into the crowed right there infront of the stage.
'Cuz that's where I like to be.
If you look carefully, I'll be the one jumping the most. I promise, I believe I'm going with a Angra(Temple of shadows) tee-shirt.

I wish. I'll be in Massena, NY, a mere 40 min. drive, but unable to escape for the show. Have a good time!

Only 5 days left for me! I'm really psyched!
I'm still there, everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
Would you wait for me forever?

You don't have to be sorry about it, it's all good.

Hey, it's "two minutes to midnight", once that happens there are no more days to wait for the Strato show!

See you all tonight!

The New York City show was a great time. The guys were all very animated and really seemed to be having fun together. Great to see! There were a few little technical problems, as so often can happen, but they did nothing to diminish the excitement and pleasure of the music.

A lot of nice set list changes. Only wish I remembered to actually photograph a copy. I never can remember all the songs. :oops:

Have fun tonight, L.A. people!! You're in for a real treat! :wink:

I did get some pretty decent photographs and a very nice interview with Mr. Tolkki. I will post the link soon!
Here's a few of the photos; don't they look happy? :D
