Wow, how did this thread elude my eyes? I looked around for it when I first joined, but couldn't find it for some reason.
So anyway, in spite of posting for like a day straight...
Hi, my name is Eric.
I live in Ontario, Canada. Though originally I'm from Russia.
Umm... Dream Theater have been on my radar for many, many years, but it's only within the last 4 or so that I pretty much started really paying attention and caught up with their entire library, history.
I'm usually the kind of guy who, in any medium, or subgenre of a medium, (music, for example), I'll latch onto one particular artist and pretty much live and breathe it. That would be DT in this case, even though I do listen to and love lots of other bands. Maiden, Fear Factory, Megadeth, Queen, Epica, and even non-rock stuff like Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash and recently to a lesser extent, some rap, I still hold DT above all else. So yeah, big fan of DT.
Studying to be an actor... Umm... I also sing, my dad was a singer, so I kinda inherited that. And I teach Art class, mostly to little kids, as a way to make money right now.
So yeah, I'm definitely liking these boards. It's a lot less packed than I thought it would be, and seems to have enough regulars to build an actual community, so I'll gladly become a part of it.
Also, Welcome, Matt!
