Metal Camp 2008

[JayKeeley]

Seriously, while they end up with top tier bands, whoever ends up playing is completely irrelevant.

Exhibit A: The Beach

Exhibit B: It's really just one big fucking hippy fest

Exhibit C: Abbath burning up

Exhibit D: This is about 5 minutes from the hotel I stayed at

Exhibit E: Kobarid - this is the town I stayed in, you catch a glimpse of the hotel at 1:55

Shall we do an RC gathering in Europe and just choose this place?

Check out the vids.

Ken, it's difficult to gauge because I also tied in a trip to London and stayed with my folks and used the last of my frequent flyer miles....

...but I can tell you this, based on CURRENT conversion rates:

1 week ticket pass to MC: 110 Euro ($150 US)
roundtrip flight to LJU from London Stanstead: 60 pounds ($120 USD)
food + drink for the week: $400 each (?)

SUB-TOTAL 1: $670-$700

roundtrip flight from NY/tri-state/Boston to LHR: $900 average
*this really is the biggest variable since folks are coming from all over

SUB-TOTAL 2: $1600

hotel: approx 50 Euro per night per room ($70 USD or $350 total)
rental car: approx 30 Euro per day (compact car) ($40 USD or $280 total) + gas

Each hotel room would be split across 2 people. The car would be split between 4 people for at least 7 days.

SUB-TOTAL 3: $1850

For those camping, go with SUB-TOTAL 2. Good luck carrying a tent and all that shit to the wilderness of east europe.

For those who like bed mattresses, showers, cups of coffee, and a hot breakfast, go with SUB-TOTAL 3.

So all in all, think about setting aside $2K and you should be good to go.

Excellent. I was pretty much figuring it to be around a couple grand actually. If this all follows through, it should SO damn worth it.

Thanks for the response brooha!

 

[Reign in Acai]

Mael Mordha, Tyr, and Korpiklaani need to be added to this bill.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'm totally down for this. Definitely camping if I do go, why waste money on a hotel? Pansies.
If it was closer to Ljubljana I could stay with my uncle if I wanted.

because we have the money to waste, young'un

yeah? that's it?

I spent well more than $2k for Wacken '03 (flight was $800, ballpark); then again, that hotel wasn't cheap, and I drank about $500 worth of beer, and then I went CD shopping, and uh, well, yeah

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Pretty good price.

I'm starting to save money for this adventure upon my return from Canadar. It shall be a glorious time indeed

Where are you getting that from? I checked the official site and it still just has all the 2007 info.

I am seriously considering MC this year, but the line-up so far doesn't do much for me. Plenty more to go though!

Good question. I've been keeping an eye on Blabbermouth, and they don't have anything about this.

Not sure if this is what RiA is using as a reference, but it's all right here, this is the thread to continuously watch (the first post will constantly be edited):

Now we're talking.

Or drinking....down by the river.

 

[General Zod]

Though I'm not a fan, Behemoth and Celtic Frost intrigue me.

[JayKeeley]

The last Celtic Frost album was pure horror (in a good way). Pure headphone candy.

 

[General Zod]

Pure headphone candy.

I'll queue it tonight.

I thought it was pure horror, in the bad way. Really didn't catch me as anything but boring.

But I absolutely love To Mega Therion and Into The Pandemonium.

 

[Reign in Acai]

So it turns out that this festival is going to be 3 days plus 2 additional days at 15 Euros per extra day. What happens on the other 2 days you ask?!? Slovenia strippers bathe in the eastern european sun as lesser known acts hit the stage for an added dose of metal mayhem.

3 full days is enough for me.

It's funny, I really didn't like it when it came out, but it has grown on me quite a bit in recent weeks. I believe it may have been seeing them live which made it click. I mean, the new material worked really well, and then in going back to it, I dug it.

I'm not clear on what you're talking about. It's not a five day fest?
