Melloboat 2009

[stefan86]

I got my hopes up for a 36 or 48h one again. I'm not going for a 24 hour one.

 

[MadTinus]

Hmm, yeah, I now read it too, I simply assumed it would be the same concept again.. I don't really like the idea of being stuck on the boat for a full 24 hours either actually... Damn! :/

 

[stefan86]

I just don't like the idea of it all being over too fast I want two party nights damnit!

 

[Brave.Archangel]

me too!!!

 

[MadTinus]

Yeah, that too!

 

[Brave.Archangel]

sooooooooooooo how the fuck am i gonna get back to stockholm

 

[Hobo]

it´s a roundtrip, so you go from stockholm, to stockholm.
difference is that if it´s a 48h cruise you stop in helsinki for a day, this one goes to Åbo (I think..) and back, without you ever leaving the ship.

I emailed them and this is the answer:

Hello Martijn!
Yes this is Stefan!!!
Thanks for your e-mail.
This new MELLOBOAT is located on a super presh new luxury cruiser called GALAXY.
The trip is STOCKHOLM - TURKKU /TURKKU-STOCKHOLM
It takes 23 hours but we will still have 11 concerts onboard.
Many artists has told me that they want to join in April. So there might be some secret gigs or unexpected guests onboard.
Melloboat is not just a crusice it is a way of life and the most important event of the year.

I also asked about a new Paatos album:

As the Melloboat, Mello-Club and the Mellotronen label + my family. I got 7 children takes all my time so will a new Paatos album not see the day of light in the nearest future.

Haha, the guy's got 7 children! :O

 

[Hobo]

just got a mail from stefan (at 3 am! ) that the tickets are now available!

 

[MadTinus]

I got a mail from him too (at 2:55 AM ) that the boat will stop in Turkku, but there's "no time for sightseeing"..

 

[Hobo]

..And so my place is secured

 

[MadTinus]

Cool, Ernst is going again as well?

I'm still not sure if I'll go. I'm gonna look into some other 'cruise' possibilities, Close Up or Sweden Rock or something...

 

[stefan86]

Close Up could be worth looking up. Misery Index + that it's cheaper than the other ones.

 

[MadTinus]

Close Up looks cool, but it's already early February..

 

[Hobo]

Ernst is coming.. if he can afford it..
I really think both CU and SRF cruises have so so lineups..
Meshuggah and Steven Wilson, now thats going to be awesome.

 

[stefan86]

the CU and SRF cruises always have so so lineups since it's essentially mainstreamish shit for partying it's fun though since there's more freedom on those cruises. they are after all somewhat used an escape from the crap that is swedish drinking life

Fo sho? That's terrible.

Just read on Blabbermouth:Looks like another very interesting edition! Except it's apparently a different boat and departure is now on Friday instead of Saturday.

After this year's incredible experience it seems I'll definitely need to be there again, it was just too awesome.

Oh, bummer! Hopefully they'll reconsider and make it a 2-day trip again for 2010.

Shame!
