Rites of Darkness III

[Anom@nder Rake]

I picked up my ticket earlier today and just read that Drawn and Quartered have been added to the prefest They've been kicking my ass lately

Jer, if you've got the $100 just get your fest ticket now or in the coming weeks. ]

Aye. I'm going to mull this shit over this week.

 

[Demilich]

Oh hell there are so many bands I want to see

 

[Ars Magna]

I'm apparently a confirmed vendor for this show...which is good and bad. Good because, well, I may sell something, and bad because it's an 18 hour drive or some shit and I will have to stay semi-sane. Then again, good because I will probably save hundreds in booze fees if I'm not wandering aimlessly.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I'll buy you a CD or a drink then. Depends on what's better for you

 

[Ars Magna]

Depends on what's better for you

Will you have any spare ladies in tow?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Yeah, your wife.

I still don't own that Dead Congregation album. I need to get on that stat.

 

[Ars Magna]

Yeah, your wife.

I'm not sure if I'm happy for you or sad for her.

 

[Ars Magna]

The pre-fest show(s) are also lining up to be interesting.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Any of you lads still going to this? I'm starting to feel wise by not pulling the trigger, considering two-thirds of the bands are in limbo, and another third has dropped for other bands. Still going to be one hell of a fest, but the uncertainty of the lineup makes it hard to justify shelling out the clams for airfare in December of all months.

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

The line-up seemed too good to be true and when Behexen, Urfaust and Mortuary Drape dropped off I didn't think much of it because there's always a few bands that are forced to cancel festival appearances. In the last week a bunch of bands dropped off and came out and said it's because of the organizer's incompetence. The line-up is still strong even with Root, Dead Congregation, Hour of 13, Demonical, Interment, and Tribulation falling off. Now it's a possibility that Stargazer and Zemial might not make it and that would really kill me because those are 2 of the bands I want to see the most.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Not feeling so bad that I wasn't able to get off work for this.

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

look for bars on beeradvocate

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

No Root? No woot

 

[Reign in Acai]

The promoter really shat away any and all good faith he had. Apparently Loss backed out because the promoter reneged on his promise to pay for a van rental/hotel up front, and wanted to fork the dough up after they played.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Pagan Altar is teetering now. Douchebag promoter cant offer any reassurance that their hotel is booked for the previously agreed 4 day stay.


Edit - It's official they're out.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Oooof

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

That's a major bummer, man.

I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on going. Gathering of the Beastial Legion shall suffice.

 

[Reign in Acai]

So essentially now I'm paying $600 to see 3 bands.

Stay tuned, there's still 10 days left. It's a shame to see you get fucked Nick. If the promoter has any common sense, he'll be attending this fest from a different state.
