I would have spent more but did not see many of the things I was looking for this year (Riverside shirt, Seventh Wonder shirt, Serenity shirt aside from the ones brought by band, Damnation Angels cd)

Also I wanted a Mayan shirt, but when I first went to buy one they said they could not sell them yet because the band had not given them a price.I went back later and they only had XX and XXXL left.

Harem Scarem - Human Nature

Didn't have as much to spend this year, but I was still happy. Just wish I could have found Circus Maximus - Nine and Xandria - Neverworld's End. If the vendors brought them, I either missed it or someone bought the copy already. And that was with me looking before they were announced for next year.

What I did come away with:

Cloudscape - New Era
Delain - We Are the Others
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata
Diabulus in Musica - Secrets
Epica - Requiem for the Indifferent
Freak Kitchen - Land of the Freaks
Leaves' Eyes - We Came With the Northern Winds
Midnattsol - The Metamorphosis Melody
Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape
Spheric Universe Experience - The New Eve
and a Nightwish tshirt.
 
I bought 60 cds more or less, my only complain is there was a vendor that has greek bootlegs for sale, I got Fifth Angel´s Time Will Tell, suposed to be a japanese pressing, but when I opened it it has no code bar, even the OBI was farly done, and think some other NOISE and ONE FLAG Cds I bought from the same vendor are bootlegs too or cheap russian pressings as I opened now at home all these cds looks this way.
