METALLICA!!!!!! As according to Scott

So yesterday was THE BEST DAY EVER! Me, Vince, and our friend Treven got up at 5:00 in the morning and drove from Castro Valley to the Rasputin Records store in Mountain View, CA for the first Metallica signing in TEN YEARS! Much of the day was spent standing around waiting, hoping, and worrying, but I'll focus on the good parts. When we arrived we saw a few people signing their names on a list. The security guard told us that writing our names on it MIGHT help us get in. As it turned out, if you were not on the list, you didn't get in. We just barely got a spot as numbers 385-87 out of 400!!! While we were sitting around, a woman with blue and black hair came up out of nowhere and casually handed us 107.7 The Bone (our local rock station) stickers. We said thanks and then it dawned on us that the woman must be Nikki Blakk, the DJ that hosts the late night radio show The Metal Zone. Treven yelled out "Niki Blakk?!" and we got our picture taken with her. We were already star struck just from meeting a radio DJ! Many cold, windy, exhausting ours later, at around 8:30 pm (we arrived at 7 am) we were let into the stare to meet them. Unfortunately, Kirk Hammet had left a few hours before to catch a flight to hang with Van Halen, so we only caught a glimpse of his curly hair as he hopped out of his Lincoln on arrival sometime between 2 and 3 pm. Rob, Lars, and James were all very personable with us, although James looked exhausted. We got records, posters, and magazines signed, pictures taken, and hands shaken. We also scored free T-Shirts! It was worth the wait, every last god-damned, freezing minute of it! - Scott
