My Picture with Mike Portnoy! :D

This is my favourite picture. It was taken when Dream Theater came to Chile in 2008. I like it too much because it reminds me a great moment.

All started one day when I came back from the school, then my mother called to me and said: Georgi , I'm in the Sheraton hotel with Dream Theater! come here!. I went flying to the Hotel. I arrived to the Hotel and my mom was waiting for me in the door to make me enter. There were a lot of people. When i was in, I asked to a bodyguard: where is the band? and he said: In the pool. In the pool was Mike Portnoy, the drummer of the band. He was sunbathing and I asked him for a picture. He said : Yes, sure!. He was very friendly. My mother took the camera and took the picture. I find it funny, because he was in swimsuit and the picture have a "beach style". I always will remember this day, because after the picture a friend called to me and telling that he was going to rent a room. Then we stayed all day in the hotel , we met all the band, even we had the dinner with the them. It was one of the best days of my life !

Here is a video with a solo of John Petrucci ( lead guitar) in Chile. Enjoy!
