Needless to say both Wacken and M'Era Luna were great.
I haven't read LJ for several weeks now and I doubt I'll have much time to do so for the forseeable future, but I'll try :)
Also, does anyone know of any decent 500gb/1tb external harddrives with an ethernet connection?
I have found a few with USB/Firewire connections which is good, but I'd prefer ethernet...
