All of a sudden I discovered that I'm allergic to caviar. It was the perfect metaphor for my life. When I was only able to afford bad caviar, I could certainly eat my fill of it. ↗

It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community. ↗
