Here's a combined schedule for all four days I cobbled up. (I did this a few years ago but I got slack.) There are several things that haven't been finalized -- that I've seen -- yet, like SB's autographing, Table 2 autographing sessions, etc. EDIT: this looked great, all aligned in columns in...

I had a really good time on this last year and so, despite 70k having one of the most incompetent band bookers around, I've committed to going on this cruise again next February. I've seen some interest from PPUSA folks over on the 70K Forum (which BLOWS compared to Ultimate Metal), so I'm...

Well, okay, not Rusty himself....but one of his t-shirts. :rock: Brian, the big bearded guy on the show, was wearing it on tonight's episode. Pretty cool to see "one of our own" on national TV. I've seen Brian sporting a Charred Walls of the Damned tee on there as well. The neet...

My friend Ripper (the viking) recovered a leather vest with band-patches on it late on Friday night near the main bar in the venue. It's quite small, making me think it belongs to a (very cool) kid or maybe a petite female. There are autographs on the back as well as a hand-drawn band logo...

Seems likely, since the Masquerade's rep floated a query about booking a show here on the Atlanta Metal Forum. Tickets would be "very expensive," though. Hmmmmmmmmmmm..............

It's kinda startling, but the new Andromeda CD The Immunity Zone -- that I bought at PPUSA -- sounds just like the Miles Davis Quintet......... ....because it actually IS the Miles Davis Quintet, the CD Cookin' with The Miles Davis Quintet. Lance, it's a Nightmare release. Any...

I was kinda floored when I saw this date announced. Ozrics are one of my favorite bands. They are not metal, but they are excellent. Mike Portnoy, Devin Townsend, Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth), Christofer Johnsson (Therion), Marcel Coenen and Gregoor Van der Loo (Lemur Voice) and other metal...

I've been emailing back and forth with Audrey Ewell, one of the directors of this documentary, since they have scheduled an exclusive screening in Atlanta in August, and she kindly provided me with a list of all US screenings so far. I'll copy it below. The movie itself looks to be pretty...

Don't recall seeing this mentioned before, but re-posted from here: "Anvil will appear In Person on Friday, May 22 for a Q&A after the 7:55pm show and a brief live performance after the 10:05pm show!" This is at the Landmark Midtown Art Theater in Atlanta. :kickass: I'll be at work...

Interesting article, but the real gem is the Charlie Benante video snippet at the bottom. :) http://addictedtovinyl.com/blog/2009/04/06/a-magnificently-m etallic-night-at-the-house-of-blues/ I will admit that I, too, was once confuzzled by whatever it was that Jaymz yelled...

I just thought I'd open a thread about it, since it doesn't happen very often. :) Looking at about a half-inch so far here in Auburn, but the snow intensity recently picked up (with big, fat, "Peanuts" sized flakes) and it's really coming down now. Starting to accumulate on roads and...

Here's the link: http://www.wrekage.org/playlists.php (it's the October 25th playlist) As most of you know, I'm one of the hosts (deejays) for WREKage, Atlanta's longest-running metal radio show, which starts at midnight Friday and ends at 6am on Saturday....or whenever we get tired. (This...

I figured I'd get this traditional post-PP thread rolling this year.... Regrets from PPUSA IX (probably incomplete since I'm tired and sick): Not getting to meet a few Forum people I'd been hoping to (7thSavior, Gamefreac, Kimavir, and some others) Missing out on some bands' sets that...

Just wondering if anyone else saw 'em at the new VZW amphitheater up in Alpharetta and survived the Great Wind and Flood of '08. :yow: The show itself was great, although once again I'd have preferred a couple more older classics and a couple fewer songs from the new CD. Glenn...

Looks like the Progressive Nation tour show here has sold out, which is pretty cool since the Tabernacle is a 2300-seat venue. DT has played there before -- the first time, apparently, kinda at my behest (!) -- but I don't think they've ever sold it out. :rock: EDIT: the venue's...

*sigh* Sir Arthur C. Clarke, legendary futurist and visionary, father of the communications satellite and one of the world's best-known science-fiction and science-fact writers, has died in his longtime home of Sri Lanka. He was 90. :waah: I never actually met him in person --...

I've finally been able to upload some camcorder vids from Hoyt's show on Feb. 2nd onto YouTube, and more will follow. The quality on these is decent. :) Circle II Circle, "Edge of Thorns": Odin's Court: The other videos will appear here after they upload and...

Downtown Atlanta got hit pretty hard by a severe thunderstorm, probably (almost certainly, IMO) a tornado, last night. There's a lot of damage in the immediate downtown area, with at least two collapsed buildings and heavy facade and window damage from skyscrapers blocking streets. The...

...this is kinda weird, but two people I know slightly are one of the teams on the CBS show Amazing Race (it's on Sundays)....Kynt and Vyxsin, the goth dating couple. Our own Derek/Ruthven actually knows them quite well. :kickass: I don't watch the show, but I'll have to set the ol' DVR...

A few of you have met my cat, affectionately nicknamed "Zombie Kitty" lately since he'd developed a habit of scratching himself in one spot enough to draw blood. Otherwise he was a very affectionate 8-yr old cat (who shed a lot) and who was often inseparable from his owner, namely me. On...
