metal dreams coming true

It took sometime but this will be my first time to Wacken! I am from Canada and have been to many north American shows and festivals but nothing like this! As an added bonus I am flying my little brother over with me for his birthday which falls on the Saturday of the festival. We were always close but it wasn't until I took him to see maiden the first time that we really clicked as brothers. I have since taken him to see them 2 more times and this is the trip to mecca as it were. I am more of an older power metal fan so very excited about Saxon and Hammerfall! I have been a fan of iced earth for as long as I can remember and Stu Block is Canadian so I am looking forward to waving the maple leaf. Neither of us are shy so if you see a couple of big Canadian brothers looking like they could die happy come on over and we will get a beer! -Cheers-

There's nothing formal about any of this On the day we have a big get-together in the beer garden (the one facing the main stages) and have real-life conversations with beer, photos, and if it's anything like last year there might also be cake

I live in northern Ontario which is a province of Canada and my brother lives in Prince George Brittish Columbia (Another province) We are both from B.C. though and proud of it! The rest of Canada calls Brittish Columbians hippies and it is sort of true I guess but we don't care. My motto in life is "all work and no play can F#@K right off" LOL! and if we get called hippies for that lifestyle then so be it I am looking forward to shaking your hand and trading war stories -CHEERS-

you don't have to explain provinces in canada I think most of us know them

But yeah I'm some sort of metal hippie myself so that's fine by me

Well depending on where you are I cant imagine that the provinces of canada are widely taught and they are certainly refferred to much less then the States in popular media. I can tell you that for me personally I know many major cities in europe and some of lesser size on account of my love of war history but I could not tell you if european countries are divided in the same way (into states or regions) much less the names of said locations. It is a area which i hope to become more knowledgeble of this summer. On the road to Wacken this year my brother and myself are spending 3 weeks working our way there from romania

While some information on this site can be horribly out of date, it's still a good start. The first time I went to Belgium I had no proper plans for my time, so I decided one of the days I was there that I would go shopping. I looked up Brussels on the site and found both stores that were listed there
