I didn't not know him very well but I will definetly show my respect by chalking up his name and going to the service, i'll be there with Nikki.

If there is on thing I can say it's that after talking to his friends I regret never getting the chance to get to know him. Seems like he was a genuinelly good guy and great friend. Rest in peace Erik you will be missed greatly.

i will try my best to be there, i might have a doctor's appointment though. Even if i don't go i'll write on my car. Thanks for attempting to make this something memorable guys. Don't be too dissapointed with the turnout because it's short notice. No one could have planned this

I'll try to make it down, either way, Erik's name will go on the back window. (And I take it SN = screen name of Xenodragon?) I think we should all drive with our lights on, too, that day. There's people on this board that can't make it to Englishtown, for the simple reason being that they might live in Texas or Idaho or wherever- but we'd at least all have our lights on whenever one of our thirdgens takes to the streets. I'm sure a lot of our V6'ers (Xeno hung out in the V6 forum too) wouldn't mind flipping the lights up.

If it sounds good, I'll mention it over on the V6 side.

Mudvayne has a show playing NOV 4th in PHILLY @the TROCADERO on SOUTH STREET (or somewhere near that not sure of the street but i think its south) tix are 22 dollars and im sure the fellows of MUDVAYNE would be proud to dedicate a song to him....i have met them and they are decent guys..plus i can easily email the owner of the TROC and ask if he can ask them before the show....im sure they will theyre cool guys...ill be there if any of you guys will be there meet me out front...it starts i think at like 6 or 7 ill be there early....later guys

I went to the show last night, and 40 Below Summer did a beautiful job with dedicating the song to Erik... I felt like a loser crying in the pit though... The lead singer saw me, recognized who I was and got down on the edge of the stage to hold my hand... Please if any of you are interested in metal music I highly recommend 40 Below Summer. They are an amazing band who loves thier fans and would do anything for them.
