Ok first I must tell you about the concert!

So like... we were in row three of the semi-mosh pit... with damn good views. About 10 feet from the band. Guess what!? Emppu, while playing guitar, makes eye contact with me, holds it, smiles this huge goofy grin, gives me a rock on sign \,,/ and tells me to scream. Of course, I did. Paha.

Oh yeah, My cousin/bandmate Markus has double jointed fingers, which makes his rock on sign \,,/ look very evil. Marco saw his hand like that, stopped what he was doing and looked at him like " wtf" for a few seconds, then started playing again.

Oh. Marco gave us singing lessons. Step one: Scream. Step two: Scream louder. Step three: Scream for your life. And oh my god. Tuomas tossed his wet sweat towel into the audience at the end. He walked directly in front of me and pitched it like right at me, and it was right above me, but I was too short to get it. Logan was an inch away from getting it for me, but some jackass grabbed it and shoved his face in it. Damn all! I didn't need that anyway. I'd start a shrine or some shit with it.

ANYWAY!

Want the exciting news!? /gasp

On our way back to our room, we get in the same elevator with... guess who... Marco and Emppu! Emppu didn't say anything... he just smiled his usual big grin. He had a bag of stuff and a sprite bottle (could have been mountain due or Vault) in the other hand. But we talked to Marco. Some chick in the elevator asked if they were a gospel band. HA! Marco was like "<.<... nnnno."

But I got to be within two feet of them both and tell them Kiitos for the show and Hyvää Yotä. It was amazing. Not to mention Marco is my cousin's idol in bassism. I just made a word.

Oh by the way, the band opening for them, Volbeat (from Denmark) were not bad at all. For being rock, they kicked major ass. The lead singer handed some chick 20 bucks if she would buy a Volbeat T-Shirt with it. His words: "Volbeat T-Shirt. Not Make-up. ... Volbeat."

Anyway if I left something out, I'll post a follow up entry. I'm a little hyped up right now. Btw the meet and greet crap was VIP only. And I didn't get any pictures. Sorry guys, no cameras allowed. Actually i snuck two shots but they are blurry, zoomed out, and suck. Valitan.
