hell bent for metal

At Wacken this year we met a lot of peo­ple who come to WOA every year. In fact, the oft-asked ques­tion when meet­ing some­one was likely to be “how many have you been to?”.

Orig­i­nally the plan had been that this would be a one-off trip. While stay­ing in Poland we realised we HAD to come back to visit again soon – the plan was then revised to 2010 (just enough time for the bud­get to recover). How­ever, since being back at home, it’s become increas­ingly obvi­ous that 2010 is not nearly soon enough. 2009 is the 20th anniver­sary and while no bands have been announced, a spe­cial lim­ited ini­tial allot­ment of tick­ets are already sold out.

This week­end, Dave and I made it con­crete: we’re going to WOA 2009. Sat­ur­day night, after a few drinks with Al, he con­firmed that he’s in.

So it’s offi­cial: let the count­down begin. WOA 2009, here we come!
