Hey all,

Lance and Jonah's band Avian will be having their DEBUT performance in Minnesota, opening for Gamma Ray. There are currently no other Avian shows scheduled; this one-off worked out perfectly because Lance lives here and Yan is a huge Gamma Ray fan.

Also note, Gamma Ray's North American tour is only 9 dates and this is the ONLY ONE that is not on the East Coast or in CA. I know that there are a lot of people travelling for this show (I've heard from people in Chicago, Kansas City, and Winnepeg making the trek).

Tickets just went on sale today:

But you can avoid TM fees through me. I can do the Paypal/mail thing. If anyone decides to travel, let me know. I will try to include you in some behind-the-scenes things we might have going on.

After that, I can't wait for Pyramaze at ProgPower! I will be there.

Doh!

And I even checked the CD booklet before I posted that, just to make sure I did the math right. Unfortunately, I looked at Beast, not Bone Carver.

*sheepishly ducking away*
 
Seriously? That is awesome. That might be the farthest I've heard of. Well, I guess I'm not sure if NJ or Winnipeg is farther.

Are you attending for Avian, Gamma Ray, both, some other combination of bands? Shoot me an e-mail and I'll keep you updated on what we have planned. Did you already get your tickets?

I'm attending for Avian. I couldn't pass up a chance to see them, especially since I have vacation time I need to use up and it's at a time of year that it's convenient to take off work. My ticket came in the mail today!
 
If it was Pyramaze, I would definitely go. I'm not a fan of Avian, though. Maybe I should listen to them more to try to get into the music.
 
We seem to be pulling quite a few fans from Chicago for this show (all those Chicago Gamma Ray fans have no where else nearby except us!). If there's any Chicagoans here:

FYI, I just saw that AirTran has Chicago to Mpls RT airfare for $78.

Issues:
- 14 day advance purchase requires, which is only 2 days from now
- cannot fly on Sunday

Boy, am I excited for this show tomorrow night! I am observing Avian's rehearsal as I type this and HOLY CRAP is this going to be awesome! Damn, I love Lance King's voice.

BTW, Jonah is like the worst Halo player I've ever seen. Seriously. He sucks. ;)
