Stuff done in the last three days:
- I checked out our prospective venue's facility. It's awesome!
- Preliminary venue negotiations - room rental price & drink specials
- Confirmed: 3 bands, come hell or high water
- On Hold: 4 bands waiting for the "when and where"
- Tentative: 1 band
- Back-up list: check!
- Received budget from 1 band who will do whatever it takes to play the fest \m/ but may still cost us too much.
- 1 band might not be handled by the same booking agency which would have given us a deal, thus we'd have to pay the BIG full-price :zombie:
- In work: sponsorship of the backline
- In work: sponsorship for some food/beer.
- Confirmed: web designer - Mosquito (Justin)
- In work: choosing webhost and creating layout
- Confirmed: Sponsorship with UltimateMetal.com - simultaneous website/forum launch
- Confirmed: Vendor and Sponsor - Nightmare Records
- Confirmed: Sponsorship with Goat on a Stick Productions
- In work: sleep.
Stay tuned for more updates! If all goes well, we will have a date and a venue for you soon!

Very cool to watch thing thing progressing......if you'll pardon the pun.
Agreed... it's interesting to see something like this come together organically from the ground up, from just a offhand notion to a fully-formed, actual event. I have no idea whether I'll actually be able to attend, but much respect for Tammy and John and everyone who is making this happen.
I'm picking and choosing my vacation days VEEEERY carefully this year. I gotta make it down to Texas, and Atlanta, and reserve enough time to make at least two Canadian trips. When the hell am I gonna fit in Wacken Open Air?
EXCITEMENT!!!

Thank you! That means a whole lot, Sumeet! We really appreciate it more than you know!
I'm glad you guys are enjoying the progress. I'll be posting more specific updates when I can be less ambiguous.

yeah I'm watching the progress of this Texas Madfest because I intend to make it to Houston for the first time in my life... and with good reason!
Then I have to balance that with a possible trip to Chicago for the first time ever for Powerfest.
not to mention appeasing the wife with a short vacation or two of her choice.
oh and PPUSA VIII is a no-brainer, since I live 30 miles from the venue.

I am doing the same. Always wanted to make a Texas trip, but haven't dome so yet. This may be just the motivation I need to stop procrastinating and do it.

AAARGH YOU BASTARD why did you have to mention the Chicago Powerfest? Aww this is torture.... well, at least for Chicago I only need one day off work. I think.
Any word on that show's development?
