[Jibrille]

I was on a budget this year:

Seventh Wonder Escape to Atlanta t-shirt (me)
Oceans of Sadness Arrogance of Innocence t-shirt (husband)

It helped that most of the bands playing this weekend I already owned a bunch of CDs for before last year's announcement.
I would have liked to pick up some cds for the bands next year but really wouldn't have known where to even start.

I went back to get a Delain shirt but they only had the girlie tees left and I didn't care for that design.

I came home with 49 CDs plus I bought the new Kamelot from Zane so it'll arrive in a couple days. Probably a quarter of those came from visiting the Atlanta used CD shops on Thursday and Friday, and I took quite a few from the $5 bin at CDInzane (and a few more when it dropped to $3). 2 shirts (PPXI, Delain), 3 autographed posters, 1 pick (Illusion Suite) and probably 3-4 extra pounds at my waist due to the unusual intake of fast-food and alcohol.
