I had limited time today to make my rubytuesday pages since I'm heading out to pick up Mom from the airport. It was easy to do these – simply documented recent events by tucking away some *evidence*, and scribbling down some thoughts.
I was so touched and tickled by the responses you left on my last post. I printed out the comments for my journal page. I get it that not all of you are HIM fans. And you may even roll your eyes when you arrive to see another post about them. But what is really cool is that you were still able to share the enthusiasm with me. And you get it that these projects and experiences are important to me. Thank you.
Oh! You want to know where that cool *evidence* tape came from? When I was looking for pre-printed toe tags I came across crimescene.com I ended up making my own toe tags, but found lots of great stuff at that place. I have been keeping a journal….yes another….that is all about barrier tape. I collect different specimens of tape while out and about, and friends even send me some. I have tape confiscated from the local premises of Greece, Italy, and France!
And courtesy of ATPhotography, a few shots from the show Friday night. It was spectacular! Next up: three more dates in May!

It was a glorious day! We arrived in Deptford and took our place in line. Hundreds of fans were there and we met up with our friends, and many new ones. I have been to signings and meet & greets before, but this one was run tight and strict, and very fast. Fallon was a wreck as we inched closer. They had several check points where they held you back so you couldn't really even see the band until you were standing right in front of them. We had prepared gifts but they were swiftly wisked away by some record exec. but we got to tell them about it. I practically shreiked "but I made them Toe Tags". We thanked them for this opportunity and had our items signed (had to sweet talk the exec. to let us go with unconventional surfaces, a tshirt and a journal). I explained what my journal was and they took a look and thought it was really clever. *grin*
So there is a song on the new album called Acoustic Funeral. (It was actually playing in the store during the signing!!) You can hear Ville explain the song HERE. You can hear the song HERE. (Very pretty, take a listen). The chorus is this….
Epiphany! Toe Tags! We also brought a book, a Black Sabbath dvd, and some cool socks. (they say they always lose socks on tour) I mentioned we had given him the collections of grave dirt and he said the bottles are all lined up on his mantel at home! And they thought my HIMnal was cool. Can't wait for them to get a good look at the Toe Tags. *faints*
They didn't allow photographs….but I got this one of Fallon with their manager, Seppo. And the others are courtesy of Hot Topic.
What a blast we had! So fun to see our favorite band again. They were all so charming and nice, and really tuned into you when you spoke with them. Great to hang with Bill, Laure, Mark, Suzanne, Cindi, and Cherie. Had to go out for a fun meal to decompress together….
Next up: concert tonight! *blows kisses*
