We made our way to the Sheraton Heathrow on Friday. Still groggy, I noticed the lobby was half filled with an Indian wedding, the other half were in Iron Maiden shirts. I felt out of place, but Brett fit right in. He did become more difficult to spot in a crowd though.

5pm finally rolled around and we boarded the bus to the Ruskin Arms. Its an older rock club, and where Maiden has its roots. We saw three cover bands and Maiden alum. The last band was called HI-ON MAIDEN, they wore wigs. But they rocked. And guess what, Brett scored me an exclusive members only fan club tee! I am now official.

We heard another funny response to finding out we were from Chicago. Are you ready for this? "Chicago, isn't that where the Packers play?" !!!!!!!!!!!! grrrr. They immediately apologized though. :) They were nice people and it turns out they had the seats next to us at the show the next day.

Stay tuned for the next installment. Must sign off now.

UP THE IRONS!!
