05:36 - Anghellic67

I'll go to my first abroad festival next year. Fortress Festival in UK. Excited and also pretty damn nervous already.

01:15 - no one

My dream would be fire in the mountains

00:51 - Vellichor

I wish I could go to ArcTanGent Festival so bad

00:18 - Languedocian

Nice one man, be interesting to look at that when you can share it. :)

23:56 - Chidder

Hard work I guess. I was trying to do an interview with him for years :) Apparently, I had to add a few legends to my resume xD

23:51 - Languedocian

Nice one Chidder, I'd be the same. How did that come about?

23:47 - Chidder

Damn, I'm meeting John Carpenter next week. It'll be like meeting Santa Claus. My hands are actually shaking from excitement.
