I didn't get mine yet. I've been receiving their cards each year for about 2 or 3 years now. I'm sure it'll come soon.

I got mine two days ago!

I just realized that it's so incredible that an artist takes the time to sign and send greeting cards to their fans. I mean, who else does that? That's really cool to me.

Thanks Dev & Tracy.

I received my Christmas card. Thank you Dev and Tracy. It's always those little touches that really make me so happy I'm a Devy fan.

Now, for the possible tour.... okay, just breathe, come on, just breathe.... DTB opening.... for OPETH....

HOLY FUCKING HELL I JUST BLEW MY PANTS ZIPPER ACROSS THE ROOM!

If this happens, I HAVE to get a picture of both bands together, and maybe if I beg and plead and bribe hard enough, I could, maybe, possibly, get in the picture with the two bands....? The ONLY way for this tour to be any better would be to include Type O Negative on the bill. Then, all 3 of my favorite bands could blow me away and I could literally drop dead a perfectly content little human.

Okay, that's it. I declare a moratorium on all references to ejaculation and erections due to excitement over upcoming tours or albums or whatever. People! Calm yourselves! There are other ways to express your delight at the coming (stop it, I didn't mean it that way!) auditory ecstasy.

And this means you, too, Lars.

Don't get all pissed, I'm just kidding. You can all go back to creaming your jeans. But, if I were in the DTB I'd be nervous as hell to meet any of you. At the very least, I'd wash my hands thoroughly afterwards.

I mean, who else does that?

I honestly can't think of anybody else that does anything even remotely as cool.

Seriously, can anybody think of a similar example?

Got one as well!!

I was all happy n shit, called and told my mom, the gf, and three buddies.

hehe

That made my week. Cool as hell!

Mine came this morning. Totally unexpected. Made my week too....

UPDATE!

Just got my christmas card from HevyDevy today when I got back from work! Awesome! I think it's my 3rd or 4th card from them but it's ALWAYS pleasant so please continue to send greeting cards, it makes me happy!

So who gets these? Are they sent out to all the forums members?

seems like anyne who's bought stuff from HDR....

awww...so I'm not special....oh well...

Yeah, I got one, and I swear, I'm not gay, but the first thing I said was...

"Awww... that's sweet."

But yeah, hell, I even considered sending one back to 'em, and still might. Just to show them that little touches like that are appreciated.

This tour...why the states? Cant Opeth drag DTB back to Sweden with him? Its like...the currently two best bands in the world touring together...untr00 :'(

For the first time in the last four years or so I haven't had one OR had an end-of-the-year newsletter. I'd put a sad faced smiley here but that would be predictable

For the last few years I've bought a pile of stuff, new and back catalogue, to the point where I've kinda caught up so there's been little in store for me to buy this year. I guess that's why ?

Still, there's always next year and it is a great thing that they take the time to do them.

Damn, the Opeth show in Stuttgart, Germany, in a couple of days is sold out.
I hope they come back to Germany sooner or later next year and it would be outstanding if they'd tour with the DTB.

Any news concerning the SYL/Meshuggah european tour? Another brilliant pairing if it actually happens.
