Dimebag was a pal to our family - on our trip a stop at his grave was mandatory. We left a bottle of New Orleans Rum, after of course drinking some… R.I.P brother - we miss you. visit our site for more on the documentary we’re working on that will include this and more metal head footage.

no joke - a guy was outside of our room listening to our conversation - caught on tape… we later ran into him, with a hotel security badge. beware of fantasy bank robbery talk.

rum, pirates and fear go way back… present day pirates included. new orleans rum - they helped us raise funds for gas cash to get to the next city by employing us to bottle rum and they gave us a ton of rum to use as a motivator when cash was low.. they were right - good rum is like gold! thank you so much.

We hit Portland, Or and the Dethklok show. More importantly, we get to chat with drummer extraordinaire and all around Heavy Metal legend GENE HOGLAN … oh, and Amy almost gets arrested. Gene Hoglan was interviewed for a documentary (http://www.ayearatthewheel.com) to be released in 2009.
