Hey, Guids. I had a close call with my dogtag a few days ago. I was running to catch the metro train when the loop holding the dogtag got too loose and let it fall to the ground. The dogtag didn't break or anything (I was even able to put it back), but now I take care that I don't move the dogtag too much. At least it already has a hole through which I might put in a more secure loop when I come back home. Hope you can fix your JP cross no problem. Good luck.

Exactly why I kept one in pristine condition in the bag and also wanted a solid silver chain for the silver one. Didn't want to lose the silver one because of a faulty clasp or something.
I hope to have that loop fixed, though. I'll take it to someone next week to make the chain and also, with luck, fix the broken one. (Quoting Message by paorcamp from Saturday, August 21, 2010 4:40:08 PM)

The one on the left is the original from 1990. I took it out of the bag for that pic. The one with the broken loop is the one I always carried with me, thus, the broken loop.

My friend I was with and I left just before Slash's gig finished so we could get to the venue of the sold out midnight gig and wait to catch Scott. We turned up and the security guy was like no he's not here and he's not meeting any of the public. We decided to wait anyways. My friend did all the talking to security people cos I am quite shy lol. She spots this dude and talks to him, an American guy called Dan, and he said yeah it should be fine to get an autograph, Scott is a nice guy really approachable etc. He said to just keep waiting cos they wouldn't be far away. So we waited and not long after a van turned up with the members of Hail! we went down and my friend spoke to him, said welcome to New Zealand, this is my friend Rebecca and she's a really big fan. He said 'Of me?!' being a bit silly lol and I pointed out my SFV shirt (which he would have noticed lol) and we shook hands and he said 'we're going to have a photo together right?' and so he put his arm around my shoulders and we had two pics together, and he signed a copy of Painkiller for me! I told him the set Hail! played was awesome and he said he found it a bit weird not playing on his normal drum kit, and I said I play drums too and he said well you'll know what I mean then and I was like yep sure do. He then asked my friend and I if we were going in to the gig. I said no we don't have tickets and he said 'What?!' and I said we only had tickets to the earlier show. So he turns to the guy Dan and says 'we've gotta get them in man!'!!! Dan was a bit incredulous then Scott said 'they're my guests' so we got taken in the back door to the sold out gig!!!! Holy crap! We saw Slash playing with Uli Jon Roth, Hail! played another small set, and when Slash went to come on he was standing about a metre away from me. What a hell of a night! Scott is such a nice friendly guy I was so happy to get to meet him and he was so generous with getting my friend and I in to the other gig (which was only for a couple hundred people). Here's the pics I took lol. Excuse the close up one of me and Scott I look a bit psycho cos I was very excited.
My signed copy of Painkiller it says 'To lovely Rebecca' hehe.
And Slash performing at the midnight gig.
And another of Slash, with Uli Jon Roth.

So we waited and not long after a van turned up with the members of Hail! we went down and my friend spoke to him, said welcome to New Zealand, this is my friend Rebecca and she's a really big fan. He said 'Of me?!' being a bit silly lol and I pointed out my SFV shirt (which he would have noticed lol) and we shook hands and he said 'we're going to have a photo together right?' and so he put his arm around my shoulders and we had two pics together, and he signed a copy of Painkiller for me! I told him the set Hail! played was awesome and he said he found it a bit weird not playing on his normal drum kit, and I said I play drums too and he said well you'll know what I mean then and I was like yep sure do. He then asked my friend and I if we were going in to the gig. I said no we don't have tickets and he said 'What?!' and I said we only had tickets to the earlier show. So he turns to the guy Dan and says 'we've gotta get them in man!'!!! Dan was a bit incredulous then Scott said 'they're my guests' so we got taken in the back door to the sold out gig!!!! Holy crap! We saw Slash playing with Uli Jon Roth, Hail! played another small set, and when Slash went to come on he was standing about a metre away from me. What a hell of a night! Scott is such a nice friendly guy I was so happy to get to meet him and he was so generous with getting my friend and I in to the other gig (which was only for a couple hundred people). Here's the pics I took lol. Excuse the close up one of me and Scott I look a bit psycho cos I was very excited.

That is FREAKIN' AWESOME Becks!!!!! Scott is such a great guy. He always seems surprised when people tell him that he's great. When all I could squeak out at him was "Scott, ....... I love you!" at the meet and greet, he shook his head like he couldn't believe it and then said, "REALLY??" Your pictures with him are fantastic!! How cool that he brought you into the sold out show as his guests!! What an unbelievable night for you. I know you didn't get to see Priest, but this is definitely awesome! Did you happent to mention Travis Tuesdays to him?

My friend I was with and I left just before Slash's gig finished so we could get to the venue of the sold out midnight gig and wait to catch Scott. We turned up and the security guy was like no he's not here and he's not meeting any of the public. We decided to wait anyways. My friend did all the talking to security people cos I am quite shy lol. She spots this dude and talks to him, an American guy called Dan, and he said yeah it should be fine to get an autograph, Scott is a nice guy really approachable etc. He said to just keep waiting cos they wouldn't be far away. So we waited and not long after a van turned up with the members of Hail! we went down and my friend spoke to him, said welcome to New Zealand, this is my friend Rebecca and she's a really big fan. He said 'Of me?!' being a bit silly lol and I pointed out my SFV shirt (which he would have noticed lol) and we shook hands and he said 'we're going to have a photo together right?' and so he put his arm around my shoulders and we had two pics together, and he signed a copy of Painkiller for me! I told him the set Hail! played was awesome and he said he found it a bit weird not playing on his normal drum kit, and I said I play drums too and he said well you'll know what I mean then and I was like yep sure do. He then asked my friend and I if we were going in to the gig. I said no we don't have tickets and he said 'What?!' and I said we only had tickets to the earlier show. So he turns to the guy Dan and says 'we've gotta get them in man!'!!! Dan was a bit incredulous then Scott said 'they're my guests' so we got taken in the back door to the sold out gig!!!! Holy crap! We saw Slash playing with Uli Jon Roth, Hail! played another small set, and when Slash went to come on he was standing about a metre away from me. What a hell of a night! Scott is such a nice friendly guy I was so happy to get to meet him and he was so generous with getting my friend and I in to the other gig (which was only for a couple hundred people). Here's the pics I took lol. Excuse the close up one of me and Scott I look a bit psycho cos I was very excited.

HRMG, He's actually sleeping pretty well, he's only woken up once in each of the past two nights. Not bad for someone whose only six days old. His first heavy metal experience was me playing him Killers by Iron Maiden, I know, I should have played him Priest for his first album but I had Killers in the car when we took him home from the hospital. It's still a good first album for a young person to hear. |
