Unless you've been living under a rock, you should know about Heathen Crusade - www.heathencrusade.com - pretty much all black, death, viking & doom, and featuring Thyrfing, Moonsorrow & Primordial's first ever show in the U.S. Also has Novembers Doom and The Chasm.
Of course, it's in 2 weeks, so unless you live near Minneapolis, I'm guessing you won't make it.

Eh.. Kinda poor right now. San diego's standard of living is pretty high so we're hurting at the moment. Otherwise I'd go and hang out with Larry and the rest of ND again. Sucks that I am not working for 33$ an hour[47$ an hour after 8 hours and 52.50 doubletime] anymore.. Damn schools being open 9 months of the year.

Gotcha. You're not going to find many festivals during the summer here, because all the quality bands are playing the summer Euro festival circuit.

Dude, I live 4 miles from Manhattan, don't tell me about "standard of living" costs, lol.
I hear you, I'm broke as hell too, but I just wasn't going to miss this show. Frequent flier miles + Marriott Rewards = not too expensive a weekend for me. Can't wait.

yeah we dont have that. lol atleast not yet. Its cool tho.. I just got on the guest list for Rigor Mortis[Bruce put me on himself(FUCKIN AWESOME)] so That'll help around here.. we're hurting since SD is for rich people then poor people.. no in between.
And I was working Demolition this summer... worked my ass off.. spent all the money naturally.. since the Comic Con was this summer too.. got a lot of cool shit tho.

My only source of San Diego-specific jealousy is the fucken ComicCon. That shit rules.
Too bad you can't make it work to get to Heathen though. The show is going to kick all sorts of ass.

No shit. I owe Larry and Paul beers too. [shrugs] guess they'll have to collect when they come near here.. Missing Primordial and Moonsorrow will suck too. And fuck the Millewaulkee fest.. get an easier spelled name fuckers.. Atleast Naglfar Played there 2003. [shrugs]

Well, the Gigantour is during the summer I believe, later summer, >_> and well yeah. It was pretty bad last year, but hey, it could be good this year.

Right, and you'll notice that Gigantour only featured bands from either the U.S. or Canada. Which is why it fucking sucked.

Well, had Pain of Salvation been on the tour it would have been worth going to. I mean, I do want to see Dream Theater live, as much as I dislike their studio work, and Symphony X are another one I want to see live, but I'm not going to go unless there is a band that I love there, and well Pain of Salvation was supposed to be that band, but eh.
