Don't miss this once in a lifetime event@ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Knowing this is happening is killling me! Would anyone be interested in possibly meeting in Atlanta and making a road trip out of this show? I'd actually like to go visit Criss Oliva's grave site as well. This could be a Savatage/JOP fan's road trip!

Part of the information you posted is incorrect.

SEVEN KINGDOMS is actually one of the support bands now. So there's another reason to make the road trip happen!

Sorry! I copied and pasted it from an older thread.

Our singer is going to this and has one more open spot in the car for me.

I want to go so bad. Going out of town for shows just really isn't in the cards for me.

You need a GHOST IN THE RUINS shirt though to wear at the event!

If this weren't during the busiest time of the year for work, I'd be down....

You got em'? If so, how do we get em'?

[Kong]

Jasonic...if you make the trip ( and hopefully create a caravan of others to attend), we will
give you a tour shirt upon your arrival....Sound tasty?

I think we will see you there...It's going to one hell of a show!

Nardi or Al?

You should definitely come to this show! I have free lodging if you need it!

there is a busy season at Arby's?

 

[Jasonic]

You are all making this WAY too hard to pass!!!!!!!
If I were not married with children, I would be there in a heartbeat.
Tis the same reason I have not yet been to PP.
It certainly isn't because I don't want to be there.

Amber - Nardi is going.......

Brian - I will get in touch with you about the shirts

Kong - Entice me more man, how about an opening slot??? Nothing against the QR band, but I think GHOST IN THE RUINS might elicit a different crowd response, esp at this gig!! We promise not to touch the HOTMK material.

 

[Azrael LenGraden]

This may be a possibility for me but I would be flying... I have frequent flyer miles I need to use up by the end of the year so it will not cost me anything... any hotels near the venue? near the beach?

Can you say Family vacation?
Take the the wife and kiddies to Busch Gardens and the beach and make a trip out of it!

Cool! It will be good to see him again.

 

[Jasonic]

Yeah, we already have an east coast family vacation in July, and then we are going to Nashville for a wedding in September.

Are you going to be in town for the couple SKULL gigs in June? Heck, is that the SAME weekend we are talking about here?
I can't keep all these dates straight!!!

Yeah, The Skull shows are the same weekend, Friday (15th) in Elgin (I think) and Saturday (16th) at the Days of the Doomed Fest in Wisconsin. But no, I won't be coming back for those shows. Too much Metal for one's calendar! Lol.

The venue is about 20 miles from the beaches on the Gulf. Not sure if there are any worthwhile beaches on the Bay, but Historic Ybor is a pretty happening area though. I suggest you check out The Castle...it's like a Goth, Metal, Industrial nightclub.

thanks...sounds interesting....

You say that as a joke, but the roast beef and curly fries discount beats ANY perk you have!

 

[edgeofthorns]

*bump*

Anyone on here attending the show....besides band members playing the darned thing?

~Brian~

 

[Rider of Theli]

yes - at least four of us from metro Atlanta plan on attending this historical event.
