I think this is a awesome lineup and I don't find it a problem with the set times. Like Hoyt said this is a cool venue. A lot of other things to do if you dont like one of the bands or just want to take a break. Food is good and the beers are cheap.

No worries Hoyt, just so you have a cot for the Exploding One. Old guys like me need a nap between sets Seriously, best of luck with the event.

So folks can show up early, catch a band or two and then take a break for some food in between sets. No one is made to simply stand there for 5-6 hours watching bands.

This show is an exception to the rule that I usually do with 3 bands playing from 45mins-hour each. And as stated above and on the title of the poster, this is a mini-festival that just happened to fall together at the right time. And if you look at the Masquerade shows, I'm doing no different with this one show than they do with most of theirs.

Neither Mindflow nor Meyvn have any issues with the lineup nor the set times. They are extremely happy to have the opportunity to play here in Atlanta for the first time.

Thanks,

~Hoyt.

noted. You let me know if you plan to attend and I'll provide a cot.


everyone please note that the tickets for this event go on sale this weekend, March 29th! Get yours early, because the room may fill up fast. Those who attended the CIIC show on Feb 2nd can attest to a full room.

I'll be approaching the Hampton Inn again this week for those who wish to travel in from out of town. Information will be posted at the start of the thread as soon as I have it. Thanks all!

Hoyt, where are tickets on sale? Is there a link? (This might have been covered earlier, but this is a 4-page thread now. )

Also, what's Mindflow's schedule like? Will they be in town before or after the show?

the tickets are on sale from the usual suspects: Ticket Alternative, as noted on the flyer in the very first post. I'll add the link to that first post once they are on sale to make it easy for folks to find. Right now I don't want to cause a bunch of confusion by posting a link.

Hey man, I've marked this date on my calendar. I really want to make it down to this, since I haven't come out in your support since Virgin Black and To/Die/For. This should be awesome, if I can get the day off from work, expect me there.

Of course, I'll be attending because of ALD and EBS, but I'll enjoy hearing the rest of the bands, too.
