WOW!!!! what a fantastic day!!!! the TSO concert was today, which was amazing. Even more amazing, after the concert I went backstage to see Mark himself!!!! He let me try two of his instruments just so I could get a feel for what vipers are like and then frets vs. no frets.

The viper was sooooo amazing in person! And I've talked to Mark on the phone before, but he was very friendly, supportive, helpful, and enthusiastic in person too. What an awesome guy!!!!!
