Super cool that you got to mee Acolyte, HB!

Well, after booking our trip to Brisbane, Australia to see Judas Priest play at the Soundwave festival, it got announced this morning that they are playing here in NZ for the first time at the Westfest festival about 3 days after we see them in Brisbane! Our budget doesn't quite stretch to include that show as well (it's a 7 hour drive to Auckland from where we are, or a not particularly cheap flight) but it's so awesome they're making it to our shores.
