Took the entire family - wife and five kids - to TSO the other night in Dallas. Our 6th time I think. It's a family tradition. Anyhow, I had my Sonata Arctica shirt on, one I ordered from the web site, neat graphic with that Nordic mystical guy, wolves and the ship on the front, Finnish 2004 dates on the back. We were standing in line to get something to drink before the show, and in front of us was a family, man and woman - late 30's maybe - and their kids - about 10 and 12. The girl, the older one, was staring at me, or rather my shirt. She got her parents' attention and when they saw my shirt they lit up. "Have you seen them," the woman asked. "In Fort Worth," I told her. "Not many people know them," she said. Turns out they're big fans. I told them about the new record, tour, and ProgPower. I hope they get to see them the next time around.
After the show, on the way out, a guy saw my shirt and told me he was goin' to Prog Power. We told him we'd be there too and would see him then.
As for TSO? Not much to say. They got it down and never disappoint.

His "title" under hisname is "True Metal Warrior" - I haev thought about doing this as well - as it would make giving your contact info to people you meet at shows or events like Progpower much easier, and less likely to get lost than a scribbled email addy on a sticky note.
