Attn: Will, Laura, Karen, Emily, Steve, whoever else is thinking about coming.

Yeah....I'm thinking hotel myself. Somehow sleeping in a smelly dirty field with a hojillion metal fans doesn't sound all that appealing.



You're wrong!
a hotel is the worst thing you can do to yourself.
A) Wacken is in the country, meaning you'll have to cab to Hamburg EVERY night and it'll cost you a lot.
B) Camping is where the fun is!!! You can not say you've been to Wacken
unless you camped in the fest, PERIOD.
You party with your neighbors all night, you become their best friends,
you sing along all night and drink beer, you walk from camp to camp and meet people, you get up barely after 5 hours of sleep to another fun day,
---this time with everyone you met the night before at the camp
playing beer games with, and sing viking songs into the night with...
Trust me:
you do not want to miss it.
 
Well, sadly ever since I started school I can't go to Wacken... (that's why I havn't been in the last 3... I used to go every year)
This year on Wacken, will be my last semester before I graduate... and probably the hardest of them all :(


Wacken 09 looks good though ;)
 
^ Wow, this fest looks gay though..........................
I just looked at their website........
What's up with their website bullshit?
I HATE HATE HATE festivals like that...
"800 for platinum package where you can meet the bands, your name will be on our website"
Do these guys think they are dealing with hip-hop fans or something? It's metal, for pete's sake.
Who gives a shit about "meeting the band and have names on website"
for 800 dollars????????? Is that a joke?
and then I'll get in-and-out venue privillige? wtf does that mean? without it I can't go out?!

I hate this fest already.
 
Or, you could buy a regular ticket, come over to the hotel we'll be staying at and meet them all for free. Also, maybe venues on the east coast are a lot cooler, but most venues I've been to don't allow re-entry once you go out. Seems a normal thing to me, even if it is pointless.

Hey Will, or someone that knows...what's this bit about "Entry to the Thursday kickoff party?" Does this mean that you can't get into the Paganfest night if you don't buy one of those packages?
 
you can either buy a 3-day pass when it comes out, individual passes, or whatever... just like normal fests.

Karen - the VIP things are just for those that want to help sponsoring things... Laura and I are doing that this year due to the incredibly awesome time we had last year. The guys running the thing are super cool, so it's not like they're scamming anyone.

^ Point taken.... and I'm sure the guys who are doing it are cool.

I just hate no "re-entry"... that's BS.
Normally clubs do it for under age kids so they will not get hammered
in the parking lot and walk in the venue again, and I somewhat understand that, but the website says IF you pay the $$$ then you can all of a sudden go in and out?


At any event, I'm still considering :)
I hope it will work out with my school schedule!
