Wow, that does sound terrible. To be honest I wasn't aware this was even going on, just goes to show you, Indy doesn't really have much of a metal scene. Where was it held?

Adelaide - Relatively boring city. Nice cricket oval though.

Virtual Drive - Orlando
^ That's basically where I am as I type this (the Bolton industrial estate, not Orlando Florida unfortunately).

And I'll be spending Christmas with my family here;

^ About 300 yards past that house there to be precise.

I was born and lived in Austin, Texas, USA until I was 14. My dad was in the USAF (United States Air Force) at the time. The summer before my freshman year of high school, my dad was transfered to Hascom AFB, in Mass. We lived in Fitchburg, Ma, until I graduated high school. At that time, my parents went to live on the base, and I lived in the Dorms of UMass Amherst. I currently reside in Orange, Ma.

I can't remember. Some big-ass theater. There was a White Castle across the street.

I live in Melbourne, which is apparently the cultural capital of Australia.

I'm pretty proud of living here, it's a beautiful city and I would never want to live anywhere else in the world. Great culture, bearable weather (compared to the rest of Aus) and the people are just great. At night the city is full of quirky little bars with bands playing, there's tons of art galleries, great food, great opportunity.

...which is precisely why I stayed here when my parents and the rest of my family moved overseas!

Grew up here. Which sucked.

Now I live here. Which also sucks.

But it's really close to here. Which does not suck.

Portland, Maine on a mild winter day:

But I grew up in a tiny little town on seneca lake in upstate NY called Willard (ironically, in Portland I live on Willard Beach).Seneca Lake is gorgeous and I havent been able to find a picture that does it justice, but...

Willard was probably most famous for it's mental asylum for which the town was actually named, and not vice-versa. The Hospital was enormous; it ran the entire length of the town, had it's own movie theatre, cemetery, and by the time I was a kid 50% of it was shut down and the buildings were already dilapidated. There were of course, countless urban legends of ghosts, haunted buildings, and escaped homicidal maniacs that were still on the loose and lurking in our town. Our mission as kids was to explore these buildings and separate truth from fiction. Many pairs of drawers were soiled. Here's one of the run down buildings:

Spooky.
