We were excited about coming back to the UK for our second appearance following the Lacuna Coil tour. We were hoping to see some familiar faces and we certainly did. We played Manchester, Norwich, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Birmingham. The shows were quite impressive. The reaction of HIM fans to Dommin music was somewhat overwhelming. It was great for us and great for fans. Many commented about how the line-up fit so well together. There are so many things and so many stories for this leg of the tour that could fill up their own novel. I met a woman last night who has been a fan for over 4 years. She showed up with the old T-shirt that Billy James designed and I mailed out. It's so nice to meet people who have really been following what we've been doing for so long.
I finally got to talk to the HIM guys for more than a passing second. I was determined to express my gratitude. So right after we took the stage at Rock City in Nottingham last night, I peeked into their dressing room where they were all getting ready to hit the stage just minutes later. All the guys were very kind and expressed how happy they were to have Dommin on the tour and that the fans were getting something really special with this package. It was very comfortable meeting them. I don't know how to explain it, but when you meet someone with a similar temperment and personality, it's very easy. We all wished each other safe travels to the USA.
It's going to be really good to be back home. I miss it quite much. We have one more show to do tonight in London. It's a headlining show at The Borderline. It will be a very intimate environment. We'll be playing songs we've never played live before. It should be interesting. But I feel a bit intimidated. My vocal chords ache. I hope I can make it through one more night and I hope I can make it worth the long trip I know many are making to be there. I really want this to be special.
Off to London I go....

After 3 months, I've finally got round to reading your blog, and hey!.... I was the woman in the old style t-shirt - yay, it made my day to find I'd got a mention :-) I'll be at Download on Sunday, might have to wear the t-shirt again to show support (it got some interest at that HIM gig you know....) I'm gutted to learn that you've only got a 25 minute set though, as far as I'm concerned, you should be headlining instead of Aerosmith! ;-) Still adoring everything you do, and recruiting more fans for you! Gilly xXx

You guys were amazing In Birmingham
Sorry I was a bit shy and didn't talk to you much but I was kinda starstruck
as sad as it sounds. You guys were so amazing and I cannot wait to see you again. I had been listening to your album before I went to the show because the last time I saw HIM ther support act was awful, and I loved it instantly. When you were playing, my boyfriend and I were singing along and this girl behind us said to her friends "How do they know their songs!" 
but yeah meeting Kris has got to be one of the best moments of my life, just feel bad that I didn't chat to the other guys
but I don't think I would've been much fun to talk to as I barley spoke to Kris so maybe it was better for Billy, Cameron and Konstantine that I didn't say hi lol. Anyway I hope you had fun over here and I hope the bad weather didn't putyou guys off from comming back
Hope to see you on a headline tour soon as you are too good to be a support act :D

Actually, I've just seen that day tickets are £75 - aaahahahahahaha! I won't be going as there's only Dommin I want to see.

@Ferocity In Desire- Thats exactly what i'm doing. I'm working saturday afternoon so i can't make it for HIM and 30STM but i'm National Expressing it for sunday just to watch Dommin and heading straight back for work Monday morning (probably missing Aerosmith and Billy Idol). They are soooooooooooo worth it and you never know when the opportunity will come upto see them again in the near future

Yeah i keep wondering the same thing, but i rely on public transport too, so not sure about getting back, there should be okay, And as yet don't think we know which day they are on, will have to have a look. Oh i don't know, really want to go, but the only time i have never been home at night for my kids, is when i was in hospital having one of the others. I know they would be fine, but they're my babes.
Will have to see.
Ferocity In Desire // March 23, 2010 4:30:31 AM UTC
I'm sorely tempted to get a day ticket, see Dommin and come home that evening.
