… but I do sure as hell know, what this winter’s gonna be like: It’ll rock!
While still waiting on any news concerning this years Plage Noire (last year’s one was ingenious as I’ve already told you!), I’ve already bought two tickets to the this years tour of Asp, as well as their revival tour of “Von Zaubererbrüdern”.
