Hello,

It is time to write a new journal entry about one of the most amazing days in my life!


I woke up and prepared for departure to Katowice. I waited on railway station for above 1h (my train arrived at 9:27 and I was there after 8:15).
Me and ~GothicDesire were in Katowice after 11:30. We fallowed the map made by Amy. It was funny when we went to the wrong direction . Fortunately, we had sneakers on our feet, so we haven't wiped our feet before the concert (combat boots were in our nets).
After a long journey on foot, we sat down at the tram stop. Next to me sat an old man and he started talking about his son, studies, etc. Nothing special, but when his tram arrived he said 'Better don't go to the second wagon, because thieves go there. Once in broad daylight they fell inside with knives and wanted to take mobile phones.'
I was <wow>. OMG, it's terrible!
After that we went again...
Imagine that behind a corner of the street is emerges green coach which is standing on roadside and behind it a familiar red coach. We were FIRST!
Doors to club were open and we were .
We sat on the wall next to door and waited. People from team were tottering door-to-coach. Suddenly, from the club Coen (EPICA's keyboardist) went out. There was actually three of us here and our reaction was .
After some time... from coach went out... Arien (EPICA's drummer) and... spoke to us. Only Amy was conscious enough to talk to him. It was AMAZING!
When there was a bigger crowd from coach came out Rob (EPICA's new bassist), Mark (EPICA's guitarist and vocalist), Simone (EPICA's vocalist) and Isaac the Sexy Joker (EPICA's lead guitarist). I was ignoring the people from support, because they were hanging around all the time.
I was honestly surprised that from 12 a.m. clumped quite a lot of people waiting for the show or VIP tickets.

After 3:30 P.M. there was a time to buy VIP tickets. We've received laminate on EPICA's leash (it was a VIP ticket), a large poster with space for autographs and a EPICA's glass. Then we had time to go to lunch to a nearby pizzeria and prepare for the meeting, which was at 6 p.m.
When a clock struck 6 it was time to meet the band.
I was when I saw a table and  EPICANS, who were sitting at it. Jesus Christ! I can't still believe it!
I was so damn stressed! But yes, I went up to them.
They said 'Hi!' to me and they were smiling. OMG, it's so hard to describe it!
I poured out everything on the table and they began to give me autographs. I gave the colouring page which I made ​​with EPICANS for my little sister (she colored it). I was shocked when they liked it! Actually they liked it so much that Simone did a photo of it and put it here:

On this 2nd picture there is my sister Weronika. I responded to Simone's tweet on Twitter with this picture and... just look at the comments. I'm so glad and happy! Simone Simons wrote to me again!
I gave her my Simone Simons to receive an autograph on it. When she saw this, she asked me:"YOU PAINTED THIS?!" and look at me with shocked face.
After that I gave her this work in beautiful frame as a gift (the one signed goes to me of course). She was shocked, but smiled to me and said, 'Dziękuję' which in Polish means 'Thank you'.
Mark asked me about colouring page and Isaac concluded that he's very handsome on it .
My friend found a photo where EPICANS were giving autographs to my stuff and Simone was hiding a gift from me

I ignore all other events, because it's too much of this .

Of course, as a VIP I had a great opportunity to take place (again, there was no railing).
Two supports Voices Of Destiny and Xandria were AMAZING! They played so much my favourite songs! I love this two bands! The greatest support ever!
But EPICA's concert was THE BEST!
Simone sang beautifully and looked so too!
Just look at the setlist:


I saw so many guitar solos (Isaac played them upon me ) and... Jesus... I was standing next to audio monitoring. And Mark sat on it back to the crowd and... LAY DOWN ON MY AND MY FRIEND'S SHOULDERS AND PLAY ON HIS GUITAR! I don't remember which song was it, but when you'll see some video from this show maybe you'll see it! I made a video with Delirium, but the sound is horrible Anyway maybe I'll add music from the album, because this video is AMAZING (Amy knows why).
Here it is:


And... at the end of Cry for the Moon Arien did an amazing solo on his drums. It took about 4 minutes and was AWESOME! And funny disco beat in chorus in The Phantom Agony!


Anyway I made quite few photos which you can find on my 2nd account:

Amy got a holy water with setlist from Simone and guitar pick from Rob!
If someone is interesting in informations which I didn't write just ask me
