#VisitCZ @VisitCZ

No Prague for me this year, but tonight I’m heading to Budapest for the first time.

This photo was taken from the Petrin Hill Observation Tower. It was a hot day and there were lots of steps, but the climb was worth the view.

@MetalMagicDK #goblin #FIN #deathhammer #maidenaalborg

I was curious to see Deathhammer, as Sergeant Salsten, pictured above, seemed more than a bit crazy at the performances of others. When he hit the stage I thought he looked like Woody Harrelson had fallen asleep in the sun for about a month or two, and then someone had woken him up by giving him too much speed. During the first song I thought he was going to fall into the audience at times (like he had during the Master’s Hammer show the night before). He didn’t, but his wild and aggressive behavior was over the top. After the first song finished someone yelled out in English “Not Crazy Enough!”. I couldn’t stop laughing.

FIN

An amazing amount, and quality, of sound came from these two members of FIN from Chicago.

Maiden Aalborg

Rock Goddess cancelled at the last minute which was fine by me. I much preferred the fill in of Maiden Aalborg who put on an outstanding show.

@Kokkeriet

My neighbor this year is Kokkeriet, a relatively inexpensive restaurant by Michelin standards that I have yet to sample. I have been to Vesterbro Vinstue twice this year, and those bills combined were less than half the cost of one visit to Kokkeriet so that’s the main reason.
