Greg, was it you who said an RCer met you at some event and referred to you in person as "General Zod"?

All the time. Actually, when I met Mark, Ali and Jason (Guggs, JayKeeley and Dark One), it was because I had an UltimateMetal shirt on. Mark asked me if I worked for the site. I told him I posted. He asked as who, and I told him. He yelled across the bar, "Hey Ali... this is Zod." Ali and Mark will occasionally still occasionally slip and call me Zod.

At ProgPower it happens all the time. One of the woman does a poster with pictures of many of the forum folks attending the fest. So people just walk up and say, "You're Zod, right?".

I have to say, I've met a ton of cool folks through these two UM boards.

the gwynbleidd leader is coming is well ...

so where are we meeting up before the show?

 

[Krilons Resa]

I really hope some good stories come out of this.

Is Ali gonna go? ...with his Agalloch t-shirt?!

 

[lurch70]

i really hope Ali could make it but I doubt it (as I see Zod is selling a couple of tickets)

I'm cool with that place ... rather hang in the West Village than East anyway ...

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I'd walk a lot farther for a draught list that sexy. So that gets my vote.

@ "Bleeker" St. Also @ Kenny's Castaways. I bet that place rules face.

Google Earth creeps me out.

 

[lurch70]

Bleecker st AND Kenny's are beyond legendary NYC places

 

[Krilons Resa]

Bleeka = Dick in Portuguese. (yes, i prounounce bleeker as bleeka...im a Bostonian remember?)

I thought Kenny's Castaways was a second-hand clothing/merch shop until I looked it up.

sounds good! what time?

officially SOLD OUT

I'm really surprised they sold out this place! I've never been to this venue before, but judging from their web site, it's 700-capacity. Not a small place, bigger than Gramercy which is 600 IIRC. And Agalloch is not exactly well known, I would think Devin Townsend is a lot better known, but when he Played at Gramercy earlier this year it was far from being sold out. Go figure. Had I thought it would sell out, I would have bought my ticket well in advance.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

So when are we meeting? Doors at 8PM.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Well I reckon when a band tours 3 times per decade you gotta expect these things, am i rite?

 

[lurch70]

So when are we meeting? Doors at 8PM.

if Blind Tiger is the place ... I will be there around 6:30 - 7

 

[Sfarog]
