Well, Union Station got back to me: there are no advance ticket sales for this. Just pay at the door. So I guess I better make sure I get there early. :-)

This is really exciting. I've never been to Union Station before. Is it the kind of place where you walk in and pay cover and get stamped, or do they sell tickets in advance? I'll be coming from Albuquerque.

Not surprisingly, Klebalica's story was the winner. But it turns out that Glenn (what a guy!) is replacing the lost ticket, so I faced a hard choice. In the end, I decided to give the ticket to Chris. Sccaldwell, if I had second set of tickets, I would have given you one, but I figured it was...

I'm not a local (and I'm not even attending PP this year, unfortunately) but in 2003 I spent a whole week in Atlanta (centered on PP4, of course) and I tried out a lot of the tourist spots. A few things I remember: World of Coca Cola: as lame as everyone says. That doesn't mean you...

(Well, it's actually two tickets: one for Friday and one for Saturday. And I'm not splitting them up.) I can't go. And sorry if this screws up the market, but instead of worrying about whether someone will really pay me, I'm just gonna let it go, and hopefully make someone's day. So here's...

Please remember to cancel any hurricanes this year.

Is there any chance you could get local bands cheap, so that going head-to-head with Nightwish wouldn't carry much financial risk? I just can't get excited about going to a bar and having a few beers, if there's no live music. I'm a metalhead first and an alcoholic second. ;) I can't help...

I'm not going to write up a full review. It suffices to say that it was a fun night and even the problems with King At Any Price didn't really spoil the evening. It's a shame that Harry wasn't feeling well. I've gone through my pictures. As expected, I wasn't too pleased with most of them...

It was pretty good and a lot of fun .. up until the totally fucked up part. I took a few pix but haven't gone through them yet (just got back home last night). Gimme another day or so. But here's a preview of my review: "This is your brain on drugs."

Only about 6-7 hours, and I have some other things I'll be doing in the general area to help .. uh .. amortize the expense. (But sheesh, compared to what I spend/endure travelling to fests like Progpower and CMF, this is nothing!) I'm goin' to another metal show (nobody famous) in Colorado...

I'm so psyched! Just bought my ticket and made hotel reservation. It looks like the closest hotels are on the other side of the Westminster mall, but still maybe close enough to drunkenly stagger back after the show, instead of having to take a cab. ;) So... what can I expect in terms of...

No full lineup suggestion, but I'd like to see Shaman and Virgin Steele somehow worked in.

Just curious, so I can start planning equipment purchases if I need to... I have a Canon Powershot A80 that I use for stills, but it is capable of recording video (though at pretty low res and it looks like shit and I can't imagine carrying enough storage (or batteries) for it to be feasible...

Even way out here in Albuquerque, there are scheduling ripple effects. My 11:15am flight is delayed until 2pm. (At least we get free wireless 'Net here in the airport. :-) Since I'm flying east two timezones, that means I'm not leaving 'til 4pm edt. Dammit, I'm gonna be late to the...

Oh good! The traffic jam out there was one of my gripes. Glad to see it got fixed!
