I was thinking about the Sweden thing too. There are several bands I am skipping anyway. Gonna be more time hanging with friends in the hallway for me this year.

Yay, more Margie time! I know you'll be up front with me for Pain and Myrath though right?

Give me $82.20 worth of onboard credit to reimburse me for foreign transaction fees Is that from paying your cruise fare with a credit card? If you pay all at once, you can use an international wire transfer. It cost $45 (at least for me), but UMC does allow you to deduct the cost from your total p...

That's awesome, congrats!!!

Stupid WTFDA placed my team in the Malmo tournament when there is a perfectly suitable tournament location within driving distance... SEATTLE!! IT'S EXPENSIVE TO TRAVEL FROM CANADA TO SWEDEN!! Having literally just flown back from Sweden I can sympathize, it is definitely expensive. But pay the ext...

Every time we leave the US or travel it seems like Andy starts the announcements! Great lineup so far. Looking forward to booking the cruise from Gothenburg tonight

Leaving tomorrow to attend a conference in Phoenix which is paid for by my company = free trip to visit some fellow cruisers!

I bet you're super excited about Sabaton headlining Tuska too

I quite enjoyed Fancy Dinner this year. I got the lasagna, plus a soup, plus a salad, plus two desserts. We stole your woman and took her with us to fancy dinner We ate almost exclusively in the dining room this time around, guess the schedule just worked out that way for us. 2. Scar Symmetry. I wa...

Discovered these guys by chance through an article on Metalsucks this morning. Really, really enjoyed this album and the song from their upcoming album. If you like Leprous definitely check them out.

I still deeply regret missing Blind Guardian's second set on the very first 70k. They opened with my absolutely favorite song, and I missed out on seeing a reportedly very inebriated Schaffer up there with them. I also regret missing the Finntroll set where the guitarist was playing a different song...

Whooooooo Allegaeon!! Thank you Andy!

That actually made me laugh out loud. Will be good to see you soooooon!

Yeah you're not kidding. I actually had to read the instruction manual

At the dealership getting my car safety checked for the trip to Ft. Lauderdale... Only one week to go!!!

I had to scrape my car this morning. Not a big thing in the grand scheme of things. But still. Can I be in Florida already? I am super happy that I have no idea what that's like But my bitch is that my washer broke yesterday. Because you know, buying a new washer and dryer is exactly what I wanted ...

Stickers have been ordered! I'll also bring safety pins for anyone who wants it to be more than a one time wear

6 years since this was updated... and pretty much nothing has changed! City/country: Clearwater/Tampa, Florida Age: 33 What first got you into metal? Not what but who! Always enjoyed classic rock and American metal, but my true love Brian introduced me to "trve" metal Play any instruments?...

I was able to save it to my desktop. I'll put it on a flash drive and see if I can take it to the print shop next week. How many should we make?

My cousin's shop doesn't but he referred me to someone nearby who can. So I'll be happy to see if I can get them, PM me and we'll see how to send me the design.

Excited to see you sooooooon!

I designed the image, but I think it was Speedy who printed up all the stickers. I'm afraid to try crossing the border with a bunch of "Hail Satan" paraphernalia - never know when you're going to get a Nazi border guard, especially in North Dakota. Maybe a US citizen wants to take care of...

*waves* Hi Miranda! Super excited that we'll be seeing you both in a few weeks!

Well, my other blind guess is EVERGREY. They at least have a current album to support

My thoughts as well. Hoping for Evergrey or Ensiferum. Emperor would be great but I don't see it being possible.

Indeed

Tonight's beers brought to me by:

The Funky Buddha - 'Butta Cup

Crooked Thumb - Grapefruit Gose

Cigar City - Raspberry Grove American Sour

The Funky Buddha - Sticky Treats

Yes, we are driving from Ft. L. I'm sure we can coordinate a pre-broad trade at the port

John Smith Festival announced Delain as one of their headliners in 2017. I guess I'm going to Laukaa (a small town in Central Finland where I lived as a kid) in July. m m Will that be around the time of Tuska or will they be several weeks apart? I haven't seen any dates or anything yet for Tuska ne...

It is going to be a bitch trying to drive to work tomorrow

Checked the status of our flights to Miami for 70k, and it seems Virgin Atlantic has changed the time of their LHR-MIA flight. We have 25 minutes to make it from our flight. Now, I'm pretty much an Olympic class athlete myself, but still find it rather unlikely that I'd make it through security and...

Would love to travel more but 70K eats up pretty much all of our travel budget and then some. One of these days I need to put the money together to go to Iceland. That country looks absolutely gorgeous. Would love to spend two or three weeks there just driving around from town to town, eating, drin...

The only drink package available is for soda and coffee. There will be no alcohol packages sold on the cruise. They sell way to much (make too much money on) alcohol to sell the packages. There's actually a water package too. They unfortunately only offer it in a 12 pack of 1L bottles if I recall c...

Is this some weird inside joke? Yes. You'll notice that every post Andy makes on the forums is changed to "broad" as well. Someone will post the link. It was a typo that never stopped. Moar broads = Moar better! Hells yeah!!! And WHOOOOO PAIN ONBROAD!!! Never thought they'd be booked, sup...

Kamelot: Best albums for me are The Black Halo and Ghost Opera. Haven (their most recent) is amazing as well. Have seen Kamelot with 3 different singers (ironically never with Khan) and they never disappoint, always play a great mix of old and new.
