Given the amount of drunkenness most people reach at the fest, a hotel that you have to drive to isn't a good idea for a large percentage of the folks going. But since it doesn't look like most people have a choice this year, this might be a relatively sober fest.

There have always been all-female bands with moderate popularity in the indies scene in Japan. It's very rare that they stick together and break through though. That said, this group looks significantly more "idol" than most of the other all-girl bands I've seen...Was really surprised to learn...

No need to worry about extra days. It's 2012, the world is gonna end anyway! :D :danceboy: :popcorn: :tickled: :loco: :lol:

Agreed about RI. That or Courtyard by Marriott or any of the other 14th Street hotels. The Artmore is a dump charging (nigh on) boutique prices. The only things boutique about it are the lobby and courtyard (and have you seen the upholstery on those chairs...?). It's cool that the place is...

Rather than blockquote my entire post, you should try and be a little more specific to which part of my statements you're referring to...that said, I've already considered what you're talking about IN that post and was clearly mindful of it. This isn't exactly my first progpower...I've been at...

People acting like dicks in a Dream Theater thread? Unthinkable...

This is really great every year, yeah. It's saved my neck many a time. One slight complaint here though: the stairs by the boom camera...it wasn't exactly clear where the stair ended and the curtain that covered the base of the platform he was standing on was draped over the stairs most of the...

I wouldn't exactly say I was second guessing at all as it really does make perfect sense. I'm basically just wishing the things necessary to make those changes back to the old format would happen. I'll be interesting to hear what happens in January. Quite a few people did seem to cut back on...

Dude the gap between this fest and the average local fest crew-wise is wider than the Grand Canyon. You guys deserve all the support you can get the fact that you're even there at all is unusual to me. There's only really that kind of crew available for big shows and tours. Smaller metal...

I'll just get this out of the way and give a huge Cheers to Wayne for being a total pro on saving the recording of Forbidden's set from disaster. You're a god-damned hero, dude. I'm not much for cheers and jeers otherwise but I wanted to say something positive here before commenting on the...

See...I liked the first two Voyager albums but I wasn't too thrilled with IatR. The two songs I've heard off this album don't sound like IatR to me though. They've got way more groove than the stuff I'd heard before.

Is it just me or is this a new sound for them? It seems like a big break from that big Euro powerprog sound that I've been bored to death of and more like they're taking a clue from some of the djent-y groove metal bands...but still pretty much prog. Actually it reminds me a little of Sybreed...

I'll give Dream Theater some consideration as "kings" (whatever that means) when they can put out a single release that tops Ark's "Burn The Sun". Or a half-dozen other albums that have come out over the last decade. I know I'm in the minority here but DT is getting awfully close to two full...

Love their albums... I remember asking Mike Eriksen if he knew anything about Beyond Twilight putting out a new album last time Circus Maximus played here. He and Truls guested on the most recent two albums and I gather they're all pretty tight. If I recall correctly there was something about...

Okay. I have a vivid memory of two years ago during corset night of the lobby smelling like death farts. It was AWFUL. I'm glad it wasn't you. :)

Omg was that two years ago?...

Wow...I didn't realize shit was kicking off that early this year. Guess I'm missing Creation's End completely and will probably just catch Darkwater as they're starting. No Vortex for me then :( (That said...I'm all for skipping Eldritch if anyone else is game. ;D)

I'm really hoping on Friday around 4pm but I doubt it :/

I'm rolling into town mid/late-afternoon Friday so I'm hoping they are Churrascarias so we can do a Saturday lunch at one. :/

They changed their menu design in stores to where basically there isn't one. If you aren't familiar with what they already serve, you have no idea what's in their food (unless you check the website). There's just obscure names for things with no explanations... My friends down here all love...
