Journal of a Metalhead Martin Anthony

My name is Martin Anthony. I'm a young man living the dream of being a Metalhead. In 2010 I left home for six weeks to take a solo trip of a lifetime to visit the United States and Canada. For those six weeks, I was on my own, achieving a lifelong goal to visit North America. For six weeks I went across North America to visit eight great cities. In these six weeks I was able to see the sights I had wanted to visit, watch the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands I wanted to see and understand what being alone with only $5000 on tour is like. I survived a bomb threat in Times Square, walked through freeways to get to a Winger gig, dodged a jaywalking fine by a NYPD officer, shook hands with Ann and Nancy Wilson, walked the streets and avenues of Manhattan, crawled on my hands and feet to visit Lady Liberty and had a brush with Pornstar Carol Cox in Montreal. This is my Journal.
