News about next year's show (update 9/21)

[7thSaviour]

Hi folks,

I can tell you now that I will announce a minimum of 9 of the 12 bands on Saturday. I’m hoping to have the others done as well, but the two headliners always take time and I will not settle just to beat an imaginary deadline.

I will be sending out an email to the Gold Badge holders on Tuesday, Oct 9th with the date of next year’s show. I will post that information to the website the next morning.

I strongly suggest that you do not make a reservation with The Granada at that time. In case you missed the previous announcement, they will be closing down for a multi-million dollar renovation. It will become an upscale boutique type hotel with bar, restaurant, etc. The prices are expected to go even higher as they will be targeting the high dollar patrons (just as the rest of the area is doing to a certain extent). My understanding is that they will not be guaranteeing reservations or prices regardless until after the dust is settled from the renovation in early 2008. This will be my 7th and final year using the Granada for myself, the crew, and some bands.

I do not have any further details to announce other than for you to expect a $5 increase in the ticket price (to help cover the 2 additional bands).

I think it'd be great if you wait to announce the headliners until a month or so before tix go onsale, Glenn. Hearing the identities of the other 10 bands directly from you at PPUSA will certainly rule, however!

10 of 12 bands confirmed.

May take a minor miracle to get the two headliners confirmed though.

Nothing is a bigger miracle than Conception in 2005

Look here big guy, I wasn't even born when PPVI happened.

Seeing Conception would be a dream come true for me at PPIX, and I know around 1000 who would fly to Atlanta from LA just for Conception.

It would be awesome to see them with with all 3 vocalists, as well as both drummers!

I say take a rest for now. Confirm those headliners after the show, given that you have a bit of time to breathe. 10 out of 12 bands is extremely impressive. Extremely.

Don't take a rest if the case is that the only way you can get the headliners you want is if you nab them before all the other festivals.....I'm just saying that confirming 10 bands so quickly must have been exhausting. Go to bed.

Well that wouldn't leave any tickets for the rest of us. =|
