    Luca Stricagnoli plays Iron Maiden

    I didn't know that this, or any, style of three-neck guitar was a thing. Anyway, I was impressed enough to overlook the possibility that I'm talking into a vacuum, and post this link: Cheers, MikeyZ

    Your last travel setlist

    Board is slow again, so I thought I'd stir up more trouble. I'm curious what Maiden(s) fans listen to (presumably along with IM). To that end, I'll hold up for consideration the last setlist I played while on travel, and invite others to do the same. In no particular order: Iron Maiden...

    Any suprise holiday cheer?

    So last year, the Maidens closed out KLOS' Reinbeer Games at Slidebar, following an awesome show at the Tiki in Costa Mesa. It was a fun and unexpected surprise to see the back-to-back shows. I was chagrined to miss last weekend's Tiki experience, and unfortunately my prospects for Tarzana on...

    Kids react to Iron Maiden

    Board is slow this summer, so I thought I'd throw in another wrench just for fun. This link is part of the "Kids React To" series on YouTube. Three weeks ago they released a new video on kids' reactions to Iron Maiden. As a dad with a 10yo daughter, I've seen her react similarly to the kids...

    Family Metal Night

    I've had a string of random musings swirling in my brain over the course of not quite a month now, all part of my plan to see the Maidens et al, at the Gaslamp in Long Beach. Thought I'd share. It all started innocently enough about three weeks ago, with an e-mail to my division at work...

    Gaslamp March 18th

    For the upcoming show at Gaslamp in Long Beach, I see the doors open at 6 and the show starts at 7, but I'm guessing this is one of those "lots of bands ahead of the headliner" type of evening. What time do the Maidens take the stage? Are we looking at a one-band-per-hour sort of thing until...

    The Final Problem

    (Was curious about the Venn diagram, so I thought I'd poke the bear) Anyone catch the track Mrs. Hudson was vacuuming to in Sherlock last night? -Mike

    How to See TIMS on a Workday and Still Keep Your Job

    (Let's see if we can breathe some life into this board. *ahem* *inhales*) Frosty, Heidi and Frank have a fun show. My work is five minutes from my home, so I don't usually bother to tune in, but the trip is a roundabout forty minutes if I have to drive my nephew to his school for...

    It's a good day to vote!

    Be sure to vote today. In particular, California has a lot of important ballot measures that need voters' careful consideration. Many districts will also find measures on school bonds, zoning changes, municipal seats to be filled, and state senate and legislative seats to be filled. Several...

    An off-topic appeal (and an on-topic postscript)

    Maidens Fans and Friends, This is a modest appeal to be sure and register to vote in the November 8th general election. For most states, there's still time. In the TIMs stomping grounds of California, for example, you have until Monday, October 24th to register. For those of you who haven't...

    Brexit

    So is Brexit an asset or a liability for the ladies locking down that UK tour we've all been hearing about? Certainly booking airfare, transportation and lodging will work to the ladies' benefit. But any gains realized in getting there may be offset by the liability of being paid in British...

    Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter: A TIMS Essay, of Sorts

    For the five or six of you out there who read my first TIMS review of the Fuzion show, you may recall that I promised I'd write more in 2016. This is my first upholding of that promise. To get here, though, I needed two things. The first was to go to another show. I was finally able to do...
