Wow, I know that I am still ranting & raving about NAMM, but you have to understand that without my dear friends, I would have never shown up and be able to have some of the best memories ever to tell my grandkids about in years to come .. lol.
Saturday started pretty mello morning. I did my interviews and started the day off with a vodka cranberry. I met up with Angel and we did our rounds. I also saw my friends Erica & Jessie & we got more drinks!! The interviews were getting funnier & wilder.There were many parties also that night to attend.
I would have to say that this was probably the wilder of the 3 nights in Anaheim.
I saw Juliya, and a group of us met up at the Hilton restaurant for what I call "the Heavy Metal Last Supper". It was nice to enjoy everyone's company & I met 2 new friends, Gavin & Shane. Everyone in our little corner had filet mignon & booze!! It was definitely a great dinner with may laughs & smiles. I think people were cursing across the table. There was also some tittie showing.. oops!!!
It was so pleasant and just a good ole time!!!!
The night just started after dinner. I went to the Disneyland Hotel to meet a fiend & then shuffled over to the Schecter Party for a few drinks & met up with Teloch & Henry. After having a few drinks, we left and as I slid down the railing from the House of Blues to the Disney property , I landed on my feet & I was stumbling onto Telcoh & . We got cotton candy and then got on the tram back to where I parked. We had to rush back since Angel was waiting. I was pretty wasted at that point and I think there might be some video footage. We took the tram to my car. I had a bottle of Crown Royal in the car and we took a few swigs.By the time we got back to the Hilton at the valet, they opened the door and we all kind of fell out of the car.
We went to the Hilton bar & finished the night there. I still have no idea how I drove & got everyone back to their hotels. I kinda remember swaggering back into my suite with the help of a friend, but then we stayed up almost finishing the bottle of Crown (not all of it though) and chilling out.
The next day was when I felt it.. especially in the morning.. but all the fun & laughs I had with my friends were well worth it!!!

NAMM DAY 2, RECAP.. Yes 1 wk later

Hailz!!
okay, so I got my ass up at about 9am after a night of who the heck knows what!!
I had oodles of interviews today & business meetings.
We left to get to the convention center (I left my phone charger at home & already packed my bag for the wknd).
Getting there was not the problem, neither was parking.
Okay, so I started getting interviews & most of all, started with a nice big Bloody Mary.
I met with Johnny Coffin about the fashion show that night , I did 2 coffin case shows. My partner in crime Angele as coming to the show that night, so I was just waiting for her crazy ass to get here (I think I will kidnap her to go to Brazil & Europe with me). I hung out with my Brazilian friends mostly.. Bill Hudson is def one of my friends that I will never forget meeting at NAMM since he as been nothing but a total doll to me & reminds me of most of my nerdy guitar friends. I adore Bill & hope that I can help him with whatever he does.
Angel is def my BFF!!I could never find a better partner in crime
I did the 1st coffin case fashion show & the damn coat was wearing me down me down (It was a cool leather coat, but heavy as fuck.. I will post pics when I get them) .. I loved wearing the skimpy outfit, since I do like playing dress up in the bedroom and I guess that by nature I am just a very sexual person. The 1st fashion show was fun. All of us coffin girls went back to get dressed for the 2nd show , which was on this tiny tiny stage & I had no clue what to do but just shake whatever I could (sorry ). I dont think anyone had a clue as to what to do on this small stage..
As soon as the show was over, I got myself together and ran to the Hilton bar looking for Angel. My damn phone wouldn't work in the hotel. I was stumbling outside of the entrance doors & I had to get back to the outside bar area, so, a cpl of my friends lifted me over the barricade. I ran into Angel finally & we made our booze rounds. We ran into our friend Rene by the ladies room. Right afterwards, we were taking photos in the ladies room lounge at the Hilton and started taking photos until some bitch complained to security. Rene told the cops he was a sex change (lol), but they threatened to arrest us so we left.
Angel & I went back to where our Scando friends were and I will be posting the video footage later..very fun stuff!!!
At some point I ended up back at the room for an after party!! They should keep the Hilton open wayyy longer.

Hailz!!
After all the bullshit and drama Matt put me thru, thanks to Amy , Angel, Meredith & Erica I showed up to NAMM and boy was I glad that I did.
Day one was more of a settling into the grove of things & making some great business contacts.
I have a slew of awesome projects I will be unleashing.
I got to see my friends at EMG pick ups , BC Rich, Coffin Case, Peavey , Caparison & a few others. I did some interviews.
I said to an old friend, Juliya. She was at the Peavey booth. We made some plans to do stuff this week.
I had a few cocktails. I went to the Hilton bar to hang out with some of my friends that were here from Brazil .
I had the oppty to hang out with some crazy Norweigans that were the coolest. I hung out with King & Teloch from Gorgorth. I think Telcoh has some crazy & fun video footage of me.
It was alot of fun getting to meet new people, especially really talented ones that are just as crazy as I am and very hot!!
I was eagerly awaiting my friend Angel to get her ass to the show, but bumout.. that wasnt till Friday.
Teloch kept me busy getting into hi jinx. I must have messed with my friend Bill Hudson so many times lol.
I have posted my normal Thursday picture (the other ones Ill get from Teloch).
The pictures are on the site

Hailz!!!
Namm 08 was the best ever!! I got some awesome interviews, made some great new friends, and met even more talented people & most importantly, I knew who my real friends are.
know that this page is all for metal,but what all of you reading this have to realize is that I never would have been able to even make it out of all the crap I went through the past few months ago without my friends. I sure as hell never would have not shown up to NAMM,but without my loving friends Amy, Meredith & Angel I never would have shown up.
It was great to see everyone. There were some very funny NAMM moments, which I will list later.
I have made some very important & new business associations, which I will reveal.
I do remember the heavy metal version of the last supper with a bunch of my friends.
It was great hanging with Juliya again & seeing Sanaz & Lucas & Erica.
This was definitely a cheery NAMM thanks to those around me.
Thanks again to my fans for sticking with me thru this drastic crap that Matt put me through and most of all, to my friends (who have treated me better than a cpl of my own family members).

I have been busy transcribing interviews. But, I would like to share an eerie story with everyone.
I was transcribing the King Diamond interview and the weirdest thing happened. When I hit playback to listen, the voices were deep and slow, almost kind of scary. On the same tape, there was an interview with George Fisher and everything was normal on that. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.. kind of odd.
In any case, I am meeting my deadlines and promise to keep everyone updated about stuff

My hands are still shaking and sweaty..........
I had the most amazing & best experience today. I did something that was on my list "of things to do before I die". I interviewed King Diamond for a magazine. I cannot believe how kind, well spoken and intelligent he is. I was honored that someone so talented and intelligent took time out of his day to speak with me & share his thoughts ,ideas and so much more via the phone.
I must say, the King is a class act!!!
King Diamond will always have a special place in my life after today.
Even though it was just an interview, there were some eye opening moments.
I hope that the King heals from his back pain & I can see him play live. He has inspired me in some odd way that I cannot explain. When I hung up the phone, something just came over me & alot of my beliefs were somehow made more clear to me when we discussed religion.
I listened to the new cd "Give me your soul,please" and it is one of his best works ever. But, I had some ghastly and very surreal nightmares.. they seemed as though they were things that would happen at some point in my life
I will keep everyone posted when the interview gets published (should be the feb or march issue)
