All you faggots! Get in here

[JayKeeley]

LOL - I've never experienced a hippie commune - for some reason it sounds very exciting. We get to sit around, be lazy and do nothing, but in the presence of atmospheric beauty.

And to the soundtrack of metal. Note that even when lazing down by the river bank, there is a fucken DJ playing classic metal! You will be drinking "UNION" beer (pronounced "oonian") and listening to Sepultura and Megadeth in the sun.

Euro Trip in 2008. Either to Hole in the Sky or Wacken. Who the hell is with me?!?!


:stands up in a room full of negars:

Expect at least moderate chance of seeing me there!

 

[General Zod]

Yeah... as Dark One said, I'm almost definite for Metal Camp.

[General Zod]

Am I cool enough to hang out with your esteemed cadre?

How much were the plane tickets out there? Some quick research shows that a flight from LAX would range anywhere between 1200-1700.

Far beyond what I'm willing to spend for travel.

This whole stealing signs controversy is bullshit. My respect for this man has grown three fold now that I know that he pulls out all the stops to give his team an advantage. When you step out on to that field it is a fucking war zone. 11 soldiers on each side, leaving their fear at the fifty, to validate every trickle of sweat that has drip from their brow since their first day at pop warner. While the offensive and defensive infantries square off in a battle of attrition, the head coaches our having a bout of intellectual intercourse. A game of round robin to see who will be the first to poke the other in the pooper. Bellicheck was simply attempting to protect his o-ring, by jamming his throbbing pig skin straight down his opponents throat. Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat. Whatever it takes! Drop the hammer on your foe with a swift forearm strike that will rock the heavens, his cries so intense, that they squelch the blood thirsty salvos resonating from 80,000 heads which gaze from above.

This is WAR!!!!!!!!!

Jerry, give it a rest.

If there's a smarmier douchebag even RELATED to the NFL than Bellichick, I'd like to know who it is. I hope they take draft picks and fine the motherfucker 1 bazillion dollars.

You're right, they DIDN'T need to "cheat" to beat the Jets (probably). But they did. Fuck them. Fuck that whole franchise.

I would think the best way to go is to travel to London and then take one of the low cost airlines (like Ryanair or something) from there. It should cut down on the cost considerably. And if we decide to hang out in London for a night or something, it makes it all the more .

forget the line up at metal camp, seriously

put it this way, if 10,000 people show up to metal camp, only 3,000 are watching the show, the rest are loitering somewhere in the wilderness

as far as I can tell with Wacken, it's basically one big field. Metal Camp is a field, a river, a river bank filled with bars, a forest, a field with a 2nd stage, a big hill, lots of food/vendor tents, lots of shade, a village market, beer, and inflatable dingies and kayaks

walking back to the car at night, through a woodland footpath, needed a flashlight

it's so spread out, you don't get that built up sewage crap that you guys wrote about -- although porta-cabin toilets are just vile.

I'm pretty stoked about Metal Camp. If some of you guys are going next year I may go. It sounds awesome

 

[Dark One]

I think it's practically a done deal, so definitely keep it on your radar Mike.

If we end up having as large a contingent as I think we're going to have, this could be downright legendary.

[Conspicuously Absent]

I'm definitely considering it. Just curious if train or plain is the cheapest way.

 

[Dark One]

Hmmm... from Germany I have no idea, but of course the one thing I do know is how efficient and comfortable that rail system is.

Hope you can make it regardless.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

plane = guaranteed cheaper and faster, but if I find a good deal with the train... more space, time to read, and better for the environment.

But plane is likely my best bet, time it so we all hit the same airport at the same day/time roughly and then all travel en masse and party like mad.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

I think it's practically a done deal, so definitely keep it on your radar Mike.

I'll start saving for it once I get back from Noctis.

 

[Russell]

Sounds awesome!! Let's get Russell involved as well as Amman of course. I'm sure he'd be up for hanging out.

Yeah, I'd definitely be up for that

 

[JayKeeley]

By the way, if the US Dollar keeps crapping out like it is, the metal camp estimate for next year could actually be more like $3K. I've seen predictions of $2.50 US to the British Pound by next summer.

 

[skeptik]

Oh dear god...I can't afford to order from Miskatonic at that rate! And they have the Hell box set planned, and possibly a new Warning!

 

[Demilich]

possibly a new Warning!

I don't know whether I'd be more excited to hear it or nervous that it wouldn't be as good as Watching From a Distance.
