Hmm, Sophie is still shy. ;)
Great pics, Appel. 8)
She's allowed to be shy, because she's the best :)

She's your new girlfriend?

The pics are good!
And I know the Ayreon humour a bit. :D

No, she's not, but she's has become a really good friend during those 4,5 weeks of vacation. We had only met two times before, one time very brief at a Stream of Passion concert and during the next SoP tour we and a friend of her spend a weekend together visiting two SoP gigs.
Later I got the idea of traveling around europe during my vacation. She sort of got the same idea and asked me if we could go together and visit some friends we know from the internet. So we met up with Stephan in Germany, almost the entire band WinterStrain in Norway and Alberto in Italy.
You can read all about that in the blog.

Thanks, I bought a camera just for this vacation (and after of course) and I must say I'm really happy with my choice.
The ayreon humour consists mostly of dancing banana's like thus:

Catchy isn't it? ;D

That is truly a brilliant idea!
Perhaps we could make something like that happen here in the Room too!
Hmm, I don't know. This happened because we are all friends, not because we're on the ayreon forum. From WinterStrain, only Deenfan visit's the ayreon forum, but not very often. They are just friends we've met at SoP or know just over the internet. Although it was music that brought us all together.
No offence, but I'd have to meet you people at a gig first before letting you in my home :D

Hey - you two are not talking about ME by any chance?! >:(
;)
You're a lady, you can come over any time ;)
Red or white wine?
OK, the usual Appy guessing game :)
I take it that Moosey and Mcophie are aliases for Appy and Sophie?
And what are we supposed to make out of all those pics?
Nicky.
Nicky, register to the Ayreon board and everything will be revealed to you.
But then it's too late, I warn ye...
Hear my caution!
-Paco
Paco, I like Ayreon, but they're not among my top ten. They're prob more for your generation.
So I prob wont go any further with this.
I'm more interested in figuring out what's goin on on Brave.

Here's the short story:
Once there was the Ayreon-forum. The Ayreon-forum has a Queen: Mcophie. Mcophie is one of the sweetest and nicest person alive. (Don't let her read this, she'll poke me...) Mcophie was finished with school, so she decided to take a year off and see some places. I always wanted to do a europe trip, but my friends never wanted, so last year I decided to do one on my own. She heard that and we decided to go together. We had only met three times before: One time very short at a SoP gig, later that year for a weekend, again for SoP-gigs, and again when I was in London.
It was kind of a chance going on a vacation together for 5 weeks, but it turned out pretty amazing. We've become really good friends.
The photo's are from the places we've been.

Sure. I know the forum thinks she's a prince, but I know a lady when I see one ;D
You must be desperate, Appy ;D

Thanks, Appy, that's fully satisfactory ......... except: You expect us to know what a SoP-gig is? I know what a soap opera is. Is that that same as a SoP-gig? ;D
Nicky.
Stream of Passion, Picky Nicky ;)
And no, I'm not desperate, I just try to compensate for you're rudeness towards Bluey ;)

And disparate too.

Well, well, Nicky - if you don't know SoP, how would you expect to know what a lady is?! :o

You might even git her to clean up in your messy room, Appy (I just hit two flies in one go) ;D

... would be able to? - or I could find
her?
The Lord bless her! She was a great artist! - but she was destroyed by the American glamor industry. I always wonder whether she shouldnt have stayed with Big Brother & The Holding Company - great guys.
Yeah, spinning off into memories again ..... but hey, isnt that the prerogative of guys my age? :D
Nicky.
Find her, of course...

It's always amazing how you come up with more "nice" things to say Nicky...
If only you were just as creative with compliments ::)

I complimented you for your trigonometry and physics, Appy, and yes, some time ago, for your drawings too. So I'm not really that bad, am I? :'(
Nicky.
Nicky we hate you! Go away!!!
;)
Well, the trigonomtretwtr and physics were just googled pictures, I thought you knew that ;) No, you're not that bad, and I know you're kidding. I just had a bad week :-\ So I might be a little on the edge :o
Sorry, I didn't mean to be so harsh.
