Ugh, work stress is killing me! Especially on this last week before the cruise. It's like the universe is conspiring against me

Kinda heartbroken after knowing straight from Be'lakor's guitarist that they won't be touring until the new album comes out. That does not mean they will not come to 70k next week but chances are very slim. They have a higher chance to come on 2020

I would rule out Be'lakor for this year. Had a small chat with Shaun Sykes and he mentioned they won't start touring before the new album comes out. He also mentioned they don't know when that album would come out, so.... perhaps for 2020

I'll join in to represent the noobs.

Yes! Welcome

It's always the same story every year. Bitching and complaining and then OMFG that boat was awesome

It's called restlessness, people! We're almost there

It's the day we get on the boat. The only period of time where there's nothing to do.

Between this forum meet n' greet, "La Esquina De La Ñ" (latinos' meet n greet) and the ProgPower USA photo, I get quite busy before we start sailing

Come on Andy! Gimme a nice B band this Sunday

I've never done the post boat party. Last year I was too destroyed when I got off that boat, all I wanted was a proper sleep.

But we'll see...

Is there a casino onboard?

Yes, there is. It is also a good place to meet and greet artists. Last year I met the guys from Enslaved and took pics with Jonne and Fabio from Korpiklaani and Rhapsody, respectively

I try not to do non-band announcements too often at all. I don’t expect do another one until it’s time to announce that the schedule is available within the app :)

It's all good, man. Keep doing that great job you do with the app

Holy crap this is actually good! I was gonna miss this due to ignorance

Was I the only one who got excited for the app notification to ....

... the after boat party?

Loving the several requests for Be'lakor and Borknagar. They are truly impressive bands. They are kinda busy recording their respective upcoming albums, but that does not rule them out by any means

If Be’lakor or Borknagar are announced, I will have a very hard time keeping it together.

+1, dude

Accept - 1 Eluveitie - 2 Subway To Sally - 1 Vomitory - 1 Delain - 1 Ensiferum - 2 Persefone - 3 Warbringer - 0 The Black Dahlia Murder - 2 Coroner - 4 Tiamat - 1 Gloryhammer - 0 Arkona - 1 Soulfly - Return to Roots - 2 Visions Of Atlantis - 1 Onslaught - 0 Pestilence - 2 Ne Obliviscaris - 2 Grim Re...

Oh hell YES! Another band from my wishlist!

B for Borknagar, Be'lakor or Black Crown Initiate

You guys wanna do a virtual head count here? So we have more or less an idea of how many people will show up. I will add my username to the top of the list and feel free to add yours if you plan to attend:

Wasn't 3 Inches of Blood on one year?

You're absolutely right, they played in 2013. I was checking @cowboy71's list and he had it listed as Three Inches of Blood, but the correct band name starts with the number 3

How would Andy announce a clue for a band such as 1349? Would he say the beginning letter of the number like 'T'hirteen? Anybody remember something from the past and how it was done?

That's a damn good question. 1349 is the only number-named band that has been on the boat

Some people are not aware that the airport traffic controllers are also being affected by the government shutdown. If they decide to stop showing up to work then it will become a more serious problem

I would like at least one more band from my wishlist. Tyr or Emperor at least. And Wintersun is more than welcome

My goodness, with the amount of work I got these days, the wait feels like an eternity!
