Thanks guys!

Also, congratulations, Ville!

[Onno]

Congrats

Will get mine in about half a year

Same here. And congrats SN and Ville!

So I was wondering. I know we have Lifting Shadows, and it's a great DT history book, but do you think any of the members will end up writing a memoir sometime in their career? Considering how much detail MP put into remembering all the dates of where they performed, who they met, etc. etc. etc. I think getting a memoir from him would be very interesting.

[YtseJamittaja]

MP could be the only one I think. But not in a 20 years or so.

Myung's memoir would be quite short I think.

Thanks! I posted about it here when I passed the driving test, but nobody noticed


Didn't MP recently say he might write an autobiography or a memoir at some point? I'd say he would be the most likely person in the (ex-)DT camp to do that.

[aprilethereal]

I can't imagine MP letting that chance slip. He's most likely the first (and only?) one to write something like that.

[TheGreatPretender]

Maybe Myung will write one. Maybe that's what he meant by that "Read the book" statement during the making of I&W. He knew he'd be writing one in the future.

[MoraWintersoul]

I want James to write one

[wasteland]

I want James to write one

Only if that comes with Canadian phonetic writing.

That would be phnomenal!

Someone started singing Pull Me Under at me in the street earlier.

[Onno]

Lol, that's epic  I assume you were wearing a DT shirt then?

[Sketchy]

Yup. My SFAM one.

Embarrassingly it took me three repetitions of the line "Pull Me Under" before I realised what was going on, joined in, then air-guitarred my way down the road in a happy mood.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I've never met another Dream Theater fan in real life.

Of course, I don't have anything to identify myself as a DT fan, so that's probably part of it.

[aprilethereal]

^^ same here

[?]

I have that problem as well

[Onno]

I have two real life friends who like DT. One of them is a friend of mine whose favourite band is DT but he isn't nearly as a music fan as most of us here. The other is Elite.

[Onno]

Man, I've been so bored for the last couple of days. Almost all of my friends are on holiday, I don't have any games to play and with that the desire to do anything else just goes away. I don't even want to play my drums anymore. But I guess I shouldn't be complaining about my fucking long holiday.

[?]

You should never complain about long holidays However, I know the feeling - last spring when I had this "studying vacation" I felt pretty bored at times and it was a bit of a relief when my summer job started. I went back to work a week ago and I'll continue until the end of the month when it's time to start my uni studies.

[wasteland]

So, another exam down. One left. Finally the roulette will speed up a bit

[aprilethereal]

Yay preparing for a maths exam now











I love maths honestly, but I love dem holidays even more

[?]

I'll never ever have to study maths again

Finally the roulette will speed up a bit

You mean "come back to life"?

[wasteland]

Oh, give me some rest, I would have seen all of you having to deal with the past month I had!

[?]

I was just teasing

[wasteland]

I've just come back from an evening with a few online friends from a DT FB group who have come down to my place on holiday! I brought them on a small tour of my beautiful city!

What's remarkable is that the last time I've been in a room with that many Dream Theater fans that room was pretty much a sport arena, and the band was with us to play

[serrano]

The last time i remember being with more than 2 DT Fans in a room (apart from concerts) was back in the 90's with my band mates and that would count only up to 3 (including me).

I hope that from September on i will have at least 1 more fan at home.

Incoming sibiling/child of yours?

[serrano]

Daughter!

[aprilethereal]

That's great, man

[serrano]

Thanks!

[wasteland]

That's really great, mate! Congrats!

[Onno]

That's great man, congratulations!

[serrano]

As i child i remember my dads music collection including Floyd, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple... and look what i hear now. I hope i can educate my daughter's ears the same way my father did to me.

[wasteland]

Maybe you could use WFS or Eve or This Dying Soul as lullabies

Have you already settled for a name?
