I'm working on a few things. It's not this, but that's all I'm saying for now. I'm sick of the east coast getting all the good stuff.

Cool, thanks Pat. I'll be looking toward to hearing what you've got up your sleeve.
Ty, i think a Kabob in the face is a bit more proper!

haha there is an "Afghan Kabob Restaurant" that you basically have to walk through to get to Jaxx. LOL maybe this time we will have time to actually try it!

Ahem, the north & south east coast getting everything. This is like one of the few (2-4) good shows of the year for NC.

I do believe the guys(and girl) in Seven Kingdoms are driving approx. 15 hours to get to the first show. Certainly some of you can appreciate this and drive a few hours to be there. Or, you can just keep complaining, which will surely help your situation.
And, when these bands DO come to YOUR part of the nation, you can watch everyone else complain about it being too far for them.

Haha 15 hours? That's nothing compared to a Houston to Ashville North Carolina drive! Haha we did that in a day

who's to say the booking agent(s) did not at least attempt to get this tour into PA or NYC? Perhaps some of the folks who 'want' shows like this in their hometown could reach out to their venues and insist they take a tour like this.
You also know that Milton works for Intromental now, as I have done. So why not reach out to Milton and offer assistance in NYC or PA or Mass? Help him get shows into your town. If you have to, gather some friends and offer sponsorships. Venues aren't going to book 'unproven' bands. Trust me - I know. I spent more than six months working on the Jon Oliva's Pain tour in 2008. And still didn't make everyone happy because we couldn't get the founder of Savatage & TSO into 'your' town because of the 20-yr old talent buyers in the venues that say "Who?".
I'm not trying to start a flame war here, and I'm certainly not belittling anyone who says they can't drive a couple hours to a show on a weekday. Lord knows I can't. But until you've walked a mile in my shoes or Milton's shoes, try to understand that we don't 'ignore' NYC or PA or Mass or other cities where there's a market for metal. But it takes cooperation from the local talent buyers/promoters/venues in those markets.

I understand that, man. Unfortunately, it didn't work to bring to bring the tour up north this time around. Hell, I personally would love to have this show in NY (not to sound too selfish, but dammit I wanna see the tour I booked too.. lol). There's quite a lot of factors that go into doing this, but unfortunately some people don't realize that. It's not just "Oh, lets bring this to this or that place" and that's it.
I can tell you one thing though - there's always people complaining that they get the same half dozen openers in every tour and not enough quality progressive and power metal shows across the country. Believe me, we have quite a few cards up our sleeves that are going to take a lot of people by surprise, including some very special things for the NY area...
While you can't make it to these shows, the only thing I can ask you is to tell your friends in those areas about the tour and convince them it will be a good time. It will definitely help us bring some more quality shows across the country. (West Coasters, your time will come too).
