    It sure does look cold outside!
    The wind here in the mountains doesn't inspire me to leave the couch but leave it I will!

    Should be fine unless they're moving up that way so. Assuming you're coming from the south side that is.

    I have to admit I wasn't the biggest Sabaton fan before the gig but now I think I've been converted somewhat. They commanded the crowd from the off. From the constant interaction with the crowd to the theatrical bounding around the stage, they were immense. Each member smiling ear to ear, seeming like they genuinely enjoyed being on stage.

    I haven't seen a band with such a rapport with the crowd in quite a while.

    Twas a very good gig indeed. I watched it from a brilliant vantage point on the balcony at the lighting engineer's desk.

    I know. Sorry about that. I wasn't being intentionally anti-social, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to get in until 6.30. I even missed the first few songs from Tyr.

    Ah, I was dead center in the pit for Sabaton but after the first couple of songs I had to nope the **** out of there, way too hot and sweaty. Managed to find some more friends and got an awesome spot on the balcony over to the right side. And no worries about the pints, we had fun without you so there! :pac:

    I wasn't gonna get a T-shirt, but as I was going down the stairs to the merch stand with herself, someone must've tripped and I got soaked with beer, so I ended up having to get a tee anyway! Herself bought it for me as a pressie anyway :)

    Yeah in front of the stage looked pretty mad and sweaty alright, slightly bummed that I missed Korpliklaani but by socks Sabaton put on some bloody gig.

    Korpiklaani were a great laugh, pity you missed 'em. I'd seen them last year and they were even better this time ;)

    Caught them at a Wacken a few years back alright. Worse thing was that work was just dead and I couldn't sneak off an hour early to catch the full gig, nowt worse than twiddling your thumbs when you've got other places to be at

    Hard to believe it's 10 years today that Dimebag died. Still remember reading the reports online and refusing to believe it.

    Any advice on homebrew starter kits? I've to tell me people what to buy me for Christmas and this is something I'd like that I wouldn't actually get round to buying for myself :p Preferably something that can be picked up in a shop, not ordered online.

    Is there a homebrew shop somewhere near you in Dublin? They can probably make up a starter kit for you with whatever you want in it no problem

    A quick google brings up "The Mottly Brew" which seems to do starter kits and a few different craft beer kits.

    I need it to be a handy present for my brother in law to get me :p
