One of my favorite Jon Oliva quotes is when he yelled out "I hope none of you have a date tonight" from behind the curtain. It sounds like so cheesy of a line, I doubt anyone else could have pulled it off but him.
On Thursday right before the fan luncheon, I texted Carlos who was at the Starbucks on 14th street. Carlos: My caffeine system has too much blood in it! I felt the same way!
While brushing my hair in the ladies' bathroom I overhear two guys talking just outside: "And she just leaped up there and hugged Glenn! And he just let her!" "Woah...really?" "Yeah! I was there, I saw it! I thought for sure she'd get thrown out for that!" I walked out of the bathroom giggling.
The Grapow comment was one of my favorites! But before the curtain was pulled back Jon Oliva said, "Now that we got all of that SHIT out of the way..." That was my favorite!
I went into the bathroom directly after JOP's amazing set, and there was a blonde woman in there crying - I'm talking hunched over, nose running, thunderstorm sobs. Needless to say I hurried over there to see what was wrong and if there was anything I could do, and she said, "I've been waiting TWENTY FIVE YEARS for this!" awww.
When you ask your friend to get you one of those Crispin apple ciders and he comes back with an IPA: "That was the worst thing you could've got me."
Leprous : Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh (repeat 28 times) Crowd: *Big eyes* Me: Nils, you want some Tostitos? Nils K Rue: Uhhh... No. The only person who turned down my Tostitos! "YOU WILL BE PENETRATED BY THE DEVIL" - Guy who was Waaay to hammered in the courtyard, personally serenading Jimmy Johnson.
"RUN! ... To the far away mountains! Fight! Many goblins and troooooolls!" Gloryhammer singalongs are th best.
