Hey! I'm a few minutes down the road from you in Bellinghell. (Depending on the day of the week, I also live in the Seattle area) Hello!

Or i might have my magic stick with me. Rocked my magic stick for the first time at an Infernal Majesty w/ Corpsegrinder show a few months ago and i think my magic stick should be on board with me.

I know exactly who you are! (How's that for creepy stranger?) I SAW you and your stick at that show! ~ Although, I have to admit, you'll have to remind me in person. It was the stick I kept seeing everywhere. Metal Goddess and I may have even met you? We met Mayo that night and I think you know him?

Fucking KILLER show, huh?

Yeah that was me! i know you Red, also met Metal Goddess that night and then again in Seattle i think for the Evergey show? the magic stick has a story and i had to bring it out that night after a bet with Brian from Infernal Majesty, that was hilarious. and YES i know Mayo of course, he's my cabin mate!

You might not have been around the forum long enough to notice the high amount of creepyness going on, but mentioning mermaid and magic stick like that, you might notice them soon

You guys asked for creepiness, i showed you mine, now you show me yours

I didn't before but I see you there now. I met Trish B and, briefly, Brie and a few other ppl there through Mayo last year. Haven't been to lots of gigs in recent months cuz much of what's come to town has been out of my interest or budget at the time but hoping both those things change after the cruise. Really looking forward to Powerclown and Snaggletooth on Jan 13th. Not sure if that's a Metal Horde meetup yet or not though.

Yeah, but I have to be a dick and shit on your team every chance I get just cus. It's pretty much in the handbook for being a flames fan. You guys are doing quite well this season though and we weren't until a couple weeks ago.

Cool, put your picture up, so I can cement a face to the name in my memory and yeah, I did hear about that Seattle show from her. I wonder though, what the hell did you and Brian bet on?

ha. Well the magic stick is mostly specific to dance and rave parties so he promissed if I bring one to a metal show he would do a gangsta chain flip on stage for me. Which happened, but I was headbanging and didnt see it. However there a video of it hahaha. The stick became metal that night.

Well, that explains it. I'm pretty sure something to the affect of 'My first metal show' went though my head when I saw it.

City/Country: Chicago

Age (optional):
29

What first got you into metal?
Actually a pretty interesting story. I listened to all types of music growing up (rap, pop, metal, grunge, indie), you name it I listened to it. I never really identified with one genre of music. 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to have brain surgery. After my surgery I became addicted to metal, I could not stop listening to it. To this day there is always a song in my head. My doctor told me that this was a side effect from having a big piece of my brain removed. I guess my brain has now formed an emotional connection to music, but only metal. I couldn't have asked for a better side effect.

Play any instruments?
Nope

Top 5 bands?
Amon Amarth
Dethklok
Eluveitie
Sonata Arctica
Insomnium

What do you do?
Insurance Investigator

What deck are you on?
7

What's a creepy thing I can say when I see you that no stranger should know and will weird you out that I do?
I can play almost any song you request by knocking on my head.

Used to work with one guy out of identical triplets, one more of them worked at the same company though not in my projects.
The third I didn't know at all, but he still lived in the same city.

Whenever I met one of them walking around town I just said "hey" not knowing which of the three it was

We are used to answering to eachother's name. I have freaked out her bosses few times. One time I was visiting her office and sitting in her seat. One of her bosses came up and try to give me some work to do. Another time I was waiting downstairs in the lobby and another one of them came up and started talking about work.

I second Gnoff's assessment, I like you too!

Annd that's pretty much the coolest side effect I've ever heard of. My wife had a brain tumor too, but got no such epicness from it.

See you on the ship!

Wow! was it a benign tumor? Someone I've known most of my life has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and has had surgery, but no one is really expecting him to pull through

. So far most of the cases of brain tumors I've heard of have not ended well. Sorry to pry, it's just really amazing to hear your story. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

by **Stained Class** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 11:28 pm

That's a really cool story Castroh! I wonder if that means all metalheads have a peice of their brain missing

Or maybe it just means your genetically modified to be the ultimate metalhead? Welcome Abroad!

Thanks for welcoming me to the forum, I've actually been reading the posts for quite a while. Don't worry about prying, I don't mind talking about it since it worked out well for me. To answer your question, it was a benign tumor, but I had seizures for years and it was the only chance I had for a cure. I really hope your friend has a quick recovery. I completely understand how tough it is, because it took me almost 2 years to recover.

But enough about myself, I don't want to turn this forum into a sob story. That's definitely not my intention.

On a different subject, the wife and I don't know anybody on this cruise and we are hoping to grab a drink or ten with some like minded people. It'll be easy to spot me, I got the giant scar on my head.

by **Eternity** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 1:27 am

Well Castroh, we'd love to have a drink with you at some point. Just look for the lady running people over with her wheelchair, I don't think there will be that many onbroad

Hey Commander KevinP,

We'll see if Orlando has more too offer than good old Krefeld.
We plan a trip to Orlando before 70k.
So...if you have some "insider tip" let me know...

...and if there isn't something more than Theme parcs... Burn Orlando, BURN...
