no that's what arghoslent would charge

I don't know what's in the US-market for Nevermore, but if you can scrape up about 350 000$ plus expenses (including transportation, hospitality etc.) you can get Maiden. Sure, no Nevermore but there's more...

I was semi involved in booking bands for a while and it usually ran about 30-60k per show and could get up well past 100k for certain bands. You also have to fulfill contractual obligations and often some strange requests...

If you could pay them enough to play at your wedding that would be both hilarious and awesome.

 

[Anvil]

If they do, you know you're inviting the whole neverboard to your wedding, right?

Max you're too damn cute



As for Dawkins, I have to say, I see Derek's point, but I kinda tend to be on the fence on that issue... I have read Dawkins and I really had no issues with his work or his love for naturalism and science.. For me, it was just another opinion. In Fact I found many of what he had to say great and interesting and even agreed with a big chunk of his work.
I see what you're saying though Derek, but I simply never really had an issue with it.. maybe I should re-read it myself..

[Dead_Lioness]

Ok ok , i won't re-read it

 

[derek]

Re-read him if you like, I just because there are some intense issues with Dawkins.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ I honestly never really got into thinking "about those issues" ...I read his books almost 2 years ago, and now reading your points about him
kinda makes me go back and look into it even more

as for the thread subject itself, how about trying http://www.nevermore.tv/contact.php

I'm in San Diego - I'll chip in !!!

Funny - I've had those "lottery dreams" conversations with friends about something like this, where I would pay big $$$ to have some of my favorite bands play a celebration party. Not only would it be cool to have a private show, but it would also be nice to give the band some thanks with an easy payday. Once I win, I'll pay NM $50K to headline, and I think I'll offer another $50K to CORONER if they'll reunite and open the show!

If I won a shitload of money, I'd set up something like Paganfest, but with better bands (not counting Turisas of course. I wish I could see them every week).

 

[derek]

The last thing I'd be doing would be organising a music festival.

I'd build an authentic castle.

 

[Calamitas1786]

With authenic suits of armor?

 

[derek]

Yep.

Jousting contests and feasts, too.

I'll take it a step further:
Organize a music festival in the fucking castle.

[derek]

Look, no music festivals! I don't like them much.

Just a castle, jousting and feasts.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Yep.

Jousting contests and feasts, too.

..don't forget the authentic wenches!
