i am wondering how many of the rednecks from Upstate will make the trek to NYC

NY "rednecks"


HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Only me, J. and dorian can mention rednecks with any credibility :p
 
South of the Mason Dixon line for sure. Its really hilarious because if you go 30 minutes north your in the city basically. Down here some things still look like they havent changed in 20 years.
 
not exactly on topic, but I played a small benefit gig for a dude who is ina coma in town and the dude who ran it didn't know what they were doing. It was first started on Tuesday, and the venue changed 5 times in the 4 days and actually changed the morning of the show and he still didn't have any gear!:mad:
 
visa problems for metal band = i have a headache for chick that does not want to fuck you
 
there is no way they'll be able to pull this shit off

i mean just to get all the technical shit sorted they really need to be there a couple of days in advance, and moving on the DAY OF THE "FEST" is absolutely not a fucking option

and the running order is WAY TOO TIGHT, there will be no time for soundchecks or anything, and if there's anything i've learned from going to and playing metal concerts for years it's that nothing ever happens on time the way it should. there are always delays. this just seems REALLY SHITTILY ORGANIZED from start to finish
 
lol and the organizer must be real happy right about now

he's worked his ass off (though apparently not with a great deal of direction) for months and had this great vision of an open air festival in the forest with 75 vendors, three stages, 10000 visitors, camping, beer, drugs, buses etc. and what happens is he gets maybe 100 visitors watching a few local bands play for 20 minutes each in some no name club in NYC and the kicker is they all hate his guts for screwing up so badly (instead of applauding him for putting on the show no matter what) and as icing on the cake he's probably knee deep in several thousand dollars of debt now and can never put on another show anywhere close to NYC due to his soiled name

pretty awesome, this is one of the better metal soap operas lately
 
This is a General Admission, All Ages Show.

Get drunk and have fun. Listen to kick-ass music.

However, do not break our shit, our we will eject you full-force without re-entry. If you wanna do 5 tabs of acid first, go ahead, but dont fucking die at our fest. walk across the street, then die.

If you want to blaze all fucking day, go for it, but if you walk past a mounted cop, and he smells your Gorgoroth sleeveless full of weed stench, thats your problem.

Everyone who wants to drink will be ID'd at the entrance, where tickets are sold and collected. Everyone will be subject to a bag search, just to make sure that you dont bring guns to a knife fight. Everyone who wants to drink will be ID'd, and then be forced to wear a bright pink bracelet the entire day. If you are found drinking without a bracelet, you get one warning, then ejected without re-entry.

There will be booze and Jager fucking everywhere. Beer will be around $3-$4 per cup, and Jager will be in the $2-$3 range.

There will also be food vendors around the fest so you can get your grub on.

Armor, Guantlets, and Corpse Paint are not only permitted, but encouraged.

There will be a best Armor Contest, and a Best Corpse Paint Contest. Winners will receive back-stage passes, and bottles of absinthe. Yes, Absinthe, the real shit from the Czech Republic.

Unfortunately, anyone caught weilding a 6-foot broadsword Faust-style will be asked to put the pig-sticker back in thier vehicle. Battle axes, pole arms, crossbows, sabers, scimitars, daggers, maces, clubs, bows, throwing stars, knives, and any other weapons of war, though great, will not be allowed on premesis, for fucking obvious reasons.

This is going to be an all-day event. Bring a pillow if you want to crash out in your car for a while in between bands. Bring a jug of water to keep in your car. Bring some cash so that you can afford a few beers, and maybe buy a new set of gauntlets or get your (insert body part here) pierced/tattooed/otherwise mangled.

No, we dont profit from the sale of food or alcohol, this is handled by the OC Fair Grounds, through an independant contracor. Its a shame, though.

seems like a real amateur project this here deal... it doesn't give off an air of professionalism

not saying that's entirely a bad thing but he's probably setting himself up for financial disappointment
