Okay, just got back from the Cosplay Picnic in Norwich. Had a good day, and was proud to see a bunch of guys from the area gathering for such an event, it's unusual for this part of the country. Got more videos this time, so hopefully will get those up soon on youtube. Had one guy stand and head-bang to about ten tracks, who I high-fived. Also on the way back to the car, someone shouted at me "It's a ninja, what is it? It's a fucking ninja" which was entertaining. Didn't get any bullshit off anybody, it was a relaxing day.

I had a good time yesterday - I dragged my amp and guitar out to Norwich, and played some heavy metal in the street. I want to say thanks to everyone for being so supportive and giving me such positive feedback. Thanks to my friends who took the time to come along, and thanks to the one guy (who I didn't know) who stood and listened to me play for about 10 songs in a row - glad you enjoyed it son. I was humbled to have people take photos of me, even a couple of people wanted photos taken with me which was nice.

Beforehand I had been concerned that a lot of people might find heavy metal so disagreeable to their ears that I'd be shuffled away. But thankfully, I was very well received. One dude came over to tell me to turn the amp up, and I had several people saying it was the best thing they'd ever seen. I appreciated people taking the time to listen to what I played, and we got £36.60 which will be donated to Great Yarmouth Cat Rescue. This was the first time I played in the street, so I didn't really know how it would feel. I assumed I'd feel a bit anxious, and I had silly ideas going through my head like dropping the plectrum etc. But once I actually got there, it was very easy and I just played like I normally do in my room, no big deal.
