Roll call for Kamelot & EdGuy - Pearl Room - Oct 18

[_Wes]

So who's coming?

I'll be there!

 

[Rycher]

Not me - tickets to the Illinois/Indiana football game. Go Illini!

 

[wildfyr]

This one is not on my radar but I hope for those who do go that it does not end up at Capone's.

 

[MetalSpice]

Damnit....can't go.
I'm standing up in a wedding that same day.
Our little Joey Vega is finally getting married!
I told them to move the reception to the Pearl Room, but I think it was a definite 'No'.
Perhaps I can get the Jazz band to do a swing version of "Lavatory Love Machine".

 

[_Wes]

I'm there.

Pate - you're at Bradley????

My drummer works there. . . he's the school A/V guy. . . . course, we're both alums too. . .


Cool!

[_Wes]

Wow - i had no idea there were so many Bradley alums here!

Wow - i had no idea there were so many Bradley alums here!

Yeah, I graduated in 2004....loved it there.
My uncle also works there....he's a professor of Teacher Education.

 

[_Wes]

Cool - I got my MA there in '96 - Wade got his BS there. . . . hmmmm - '90?

I also taught in the MA program for a year. . . .

Okay - so - any ISU alums here?!?! LOL. . . . (BS - '93). . . .

For the 3rd straight time I will miss Kamelot because of a scheduling conflict.
Someday.........

Kamelot kind of bored me the last time I saw them.
Great band...but much more enjoyable on disc IMO.

EdGuy is awesome. I'm disappointed that I'll miss them, but they'll be back...right????

 

[_Wes]

I'm not taking any chances!

Plus - I've not seen Kamelot live before. . . so this'll be cool.

 

[MetalSpice]

I think I've talked to that guy.

Conversation went something like this:
*me wearing Solitude Aeturnus shirt*
Him: "Where'd you get that? Did you go to the Powerfest thing?"
Me: "Yes, did you?"
Him: "No, but I'm going to Progpower. I was just surprised to see someone with that shirt on. I'm supposed to be the only one here who knows that band."
*he leaves the room*

Way to go, Pate!
You just shattered his dreams!

 

[ShadowLioness]

I will not be there, due to prior obligations, though I did enjoy Edguy the last time they came around...against my initial prejudice against that band. They were entertaining. Have fun!

 

[es156]

I will definitely be there. I caught both bands at the Pearl Room last year and both shows were great. Can't wait!

 

[AirGuitarLoonhouse]

I have one extra ticket if anyone is interested. Would sell for half price. PM me if interested. I'll be there with a buddy so I can get you the ticket at the show. We'll be there in time for the whole show.

***Update: Someone has claimed the ticket. Thanks all***

Also, anyone know who the local opener will be?

 

[AirGuitarLoonhouse]

Something Beautiful
Infrared



Not looking forward to either.

Thanks! What is your overview on those two bands in terms of style?

 

[MetalSpice]

SB played at the venue I used to DJ at downtown for All Axxxess Wed one night.
And yes...it's just two guys, with a lot of backing tracks. I really enjoyed them.
But you're right....doesn't really fit the bill, but not many bands do anymore.

 

[AirGuitarLoonhouse]

Mindwarp Chamber or Sacred Dawn would fit.

Agreed. Mindwarp opened last year and slayed!

 

[Vegetaman]

I'll be sitting this one out.
