10. Email sponsors
11. Email band with final instuctions/itinerary
12. Confirm backline including special items & delievery with crew
13. Confirm studio rehearsal & backline for Evergrey
14. Confirm String Quartet rehearsal and soundcheck hours
15. Complete band packages for check-in including badges/shirts
16. Confirm misc crew gear
17. Confirm backstage necessities
18. Reserve van for shirt/gear transport to Atlanta

Interesting! Sorry up front if this has already been answered, but where is the string quartet from? Did they previously know of evergrey?

What a rush it'll be for a strings player to get out of the orchestra concert hall and into a metal show!

Oh ya, I love how laminating our badges is #1, lol. I feel loved!

It's players from the Atlanta Orchestra -yes?

Oh. Is that all you worry about? Sounds like you're ready to just sit back, relax & enjoy the show ....

With the new Airline scare, I hope there are no headaches reguarding that.

They are from Atlanta and knew nothing about metal (the closest is some of them playing with The Moody Blues), much less Evergrey. I sent them the "Night to Remember" dvd to show what I wanted and they got back to me in less than 24 hrs jumping at the chance to do it.

As long as Mattias leaves the guitar dildo at home, we should be fine. I'll have Mike pick him up a few here in town. I'm sure he knows where to get the best deal.
