1) What is your first name?

Daniël

As above this a tough one, but I have to pick one I guess its the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Hey welcome! Another Euro.. this is great. We really want to build up our Euro base.

Web designer huh? I'm a PHP developer so I do back-end programming, but I like doing web design, just don't have a talent for it. I did build this website (not the phpBB forums).

Nice setup. My friend also does PHP development and his wife is a designer. That is a sweet deal there. I use Photoshop but I can't recreate many new and unique designs on my own. I get by though. :)

ohhhhh I envy you so bad right now. DT is almost always touring in europe and when they are here in the states, they're never near me :icon_mad: they're always in California or New York, which i'm like 3 days' drive from California and 15 hours from NY. Can't wait till I get my driver's license so I can drive myself up there and finally see them live.

It was a mini festival in Rotterdam over here.

Called Progressive Nation they played together with Opeth, Unexpect and Bigelf.

Opeth and Dream Theater were really good. Wasn't really impressed with the other two bands.
