^I met them. :D Seriously, I still can't even believe it myself!!
Unfortunatly I have no pics of the concert to share at all, since security were being annoying and not letting anyone in the first 2 rows get pics -YES I WAS IN THE FRONT ROW! It was SO GOOD!!!
I'm gonna say it was the best night of my life so far! :D I met them all & got a signed setlist, pics with each guy & a legendary Eicca hug! (which even after all of :iconxhidefromthesunx:'s descriptions of awe, really did live up to expectation! :heart:)
okay, I need photos as evidence, don't I? =P [link] :dance:
Also picked up one of the touring tshirts (Australia & some Asia shows) it's a really nice one :thumbsup:

And if that's not enough news to share, last week I saw Slash ft Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators live! For those paying attention, this was my 2nd time seeing Myles this year :XD: They also put on a great show (if not quite as awesome or personal as the Apocalyptica one -especially not coz I was so far away) but it was still heaps of fun! :horns:

Update on my art atm, I haven't really been doing anything aside from the occasional doodle in some of my lecture books with my friends (I should upload some of them some time soon though, there's some great ones :D) but of my VCE art work from last year, I have recieved an award for Apocalypse Concerto (this one: [link] which my art teacher submitted into an art competition for students between the ages of 12 and 18. I won 3rd prize in my category (mixed media), which I'm very surprised & happy with! :)

Anddd finally, I'm sorry I haven't been on DA much. At all. For like 6 months. Uni life has really caught hold of me!
Thanks heaps to everyone who's faved, commented, watched me, given llamas & otherwise helped along the way, rock on! :D

KAREN! YOU MADE IT! CONGRATULATIONS!! Seriously, you made it!! :iconepicexcitedlaplz: You met Apocalyptica :iconhead-bangplz: I'm still under 18, so it will be quite difficult (besides, there are no shows planned for Spain U_U ) But someday, I'll manage to go to one of their concerts ;_; Greetings from Spain! :iconhuggleplz:

:dance: I know!!! Been like my dream for 3 or 4 years! So glad it's finally been achieved (wouldn't mind doing it all again though -multiple times over :XD:) I wish you luck! Yeah the concert I was at was in an 18+ venue, but not all of them are. I hope you can make it some day :)

AWWWW That would've been so awesome! They were in my city a few months ago, but I didn't realize it until like, a week before the concert because we drove by a poster downtown...me and my friend both went "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE COMING HERE AUUUGH!" And regrets and mourning ensued. But I'm glad you had a great time! And you got a hug too? NO FAIIIIRRR~
Ah, I start grade 12 tomorrow. I'm pretty excited, actually. I'm glad you've gotten used to university. :D I've probably asked this already, but, what are you studying?

:nod: The best!! d'aww I hate it when that happens :/ This is why I like following all my favourite bands FB pages pretty closely =P Hope you get better luck next time they're in your area :)
good luck with grade 12 :) I'm doing a Bachelor of Science degree, leading towards Engineering. Yes that means there's kind of less and less girls around me :XD: ah well.. lol

Oh goodness, I've never been to a metal concert before. It was so crazy and amazing, I loved it so much. Yeah, I probably would have been a bit too intimidated to say hello to them XD they're too awesome! Which was your favourite song? I just... that last song in the encore when they played their cover of 'Hall of the Mountain King' I.. I... I think I almost fainted. I have never witnessed such a out of this world thing with my eyes before or heard such amazing playing. I just... I cannot describe what I witnessed..

hahaha well it was a damn good choice for a first one, since it was my favourite that I've ever been to! (which isn't the biggest list really, though it's growing slowly =P)
Yess all of that! :heart: haha I know, I don't even know how I managed to get some words out XD they are so awesome!
hmmm ahhh I love all of them :XD: Though I'm probably more partial to Seek & Destroy which is always a killer live one. And Nothing Else Matters, so amazing with all the crowd singing! :D And that little bit of Thunderstruck they did at the beginning of Hall of the Mountain King. I just love it how they customize it to every place they visit. Makes every concert more unique :D
hahaa oh yeah, and the speed they get to? It's insane!! Gotta love it!
