I'm driving down from Nor Cal for the signing. I had my friend Kittybeast get me the 3cds & 2 wristbands. I also bought 2 of the Walmart versions.

I'm going to be giving away 30 dvds of Heaven & Hell on the Metal Masters Tour Aug 30,2008 in San Bernardino...So if you see me...come up & get one. I should be there early...driving down to Stevenson ranch Friday & then leaving Saturday morning for San Bern. We are so lucky to have a band like this take the time to sign for us fans. I attended the show at Shoreline Amp. Mt. View Aug 31...

I did make the DVD menu & created photo slide shows with my pictures from the Aug 31 show. I also put it on 1 dvd. I figure fans would like to get a copy of a show they attended.




I made this flyer.

Also the L.A. Weekly was there taking photos…so I would get the next issue!

My journey begins with a good friend (All though I traveled alone). Kristy (Kittybeast) had bought me the cds @ Best Buy & got myself a wristband & an extra.

I live in Cameron Park…East of Sacramento in Northern California…

I arrived at Best Buy at 10am, got in line, & bought a couple extra cds for friends.
It was a muggy & humid day in So Cal. I met some cool fans in line. I finally met Joe from Redondo & Joey Niji…also met another Joey from the Dio yahoo group. I handed out 35 dvds of the Heaven & Hell’s set from the Metal Masters tour in San Bernardino on Aug 30,2008. I figure fans from down there would appreciate getting a show they attended. The security were pretty strict on only getting the new cd signed…they took everything else away…I understood…there was a lot of people there & they all deserve to get at least the new cd signed…so I went back in line to try to get some photo of my friends with H&H that we got on the VIP Metal Masters tour…I blew our photos up to 16x20!

They wouldn’t let me do it…but I had to try…Next time! I waited outside the signing room & Vinny actually stopped & signed the 3 photos of Shari, Chip, & myself with H&H.

I’m really glad to see more bands do signings like this.

800 miles
14 hours of driving
8 hours waiting in line

Yeah, it was worth it!

I can’t believe that Heaven & Hell kept signing for over 4 hours…they stayed until everyone got their “The Devil You Know” cd signed!

Friends who I’m giving signed copies of the cd or dvd cover to:

Kristy (Kittybeast)
Shari from Oregon (DIO)
Wolf from NY (DIO/Scorpions & got me the DIO Years autographed!)
Rhonda (DIO)
Chip (Dio/Scorpions)
Rudi (Dio/Scorpions)
Marcus (Brother who took me to shows as a kid)

I’ll have to narrow down the rest.

I’m not feeling well & I’m really tired…I’ll be revising & posting a blog on my myspace & on the RonnieJamesDIO.com forum.

Stay Strong,
Dion

Joey & Dion – Joey was 1st in line & got there at 5am!

Dion ~ I didn't realize you posted this. I know I've thanked you before, but I just want to say thanks again for sending me one of those 'special' autographed dvd. You're such a sweetheart.
