YAY!!! Looking forward to seeing Ancient Creation. I missed those guys two years ago thanks to I-80 being F'N flooded. I'll have to get a hotel room this year at the lovely 1-1/2 star hotel next door to JJ Kelly's. I hear they have free porn!
We're definitely looking forward to being to back this year, and seeing all you crazy Chicago-types...
Yeah, I was feeling a little generous today. Ha Ha! Either way you look at it, it's a place to crash. Beats driving an hour back home at 4am.
Sorry you missed Ancient Creation. They were a pleasant surprise. I think it took me 3+ hours to get down there that year. :zombie: Yeah, I brought in a special antenna to get the porn. To all: Seriously, don't even touch the phones at that motel. Ack!

Is there booty shaking in metal? Oh wait, if I manage to NOT miss Earthen Grave for the third time in a row, I will definitely be shaking it.
I have seriously been lacking in my Metal this summer. Looking forward to the show....and Rachel's cookies.
