What did you buy at PP?

[dslartoo]

Good god, looking at some of these lists, I am feeling list envy. On the other hand, my bruised ego is cushioned by a great deal of cash that I didn't spend.

My own (feeble) haul:

PP USA DVD
Pain of Salvation "BE" DVD
Orphaned Land -- "Mabool"
Sonata Arctica -- "Reckoning Night"

cheers,
Phil

Yeah. Looking at the vendors during the PC69 set was fun, but I didn't have all that much to buy. I order stuff all the time from The End Records, and since they have free shipping, there's no difference from ordering online and coming and buying there, but it was still great fun. I was getting wide eyes seeing some of the people plopping down six DVDs and tens of CDs down on the counter.

What I was there to get was some Freak Kitchen, since the places online that have that have shipping costs and I thought I would just get some at Prog-Power and save that money (I'm spoiled with shipping from ordering with The End). I was a bit disappointed to only find the self-titled album. The guy there told me they had 'Appetizer,' but someone must have picked that up before I got there. At least I got one.

Are you the dude with the Tarja Turunen lookalike GF/Wife? If so, I gotta admit, I'm slightly more than moderately envious. =)

hehehehehe .. not.. sadly i'm not...

... plus two big, goofy Atlanta tourist shirts from the gift shop near Houlihan's... I needed something WHITE to wear around during the day. One of the shirts I bought was so gay... it's got a big goofy wreath on the front, and it says "Atlanta". It might as well say, "I'm not from around here".

[BlackenedDawn]

32 CDs, 2 DVDs and 5 shirts. After last year's wakeup to "so much merch, so little cash," I did quite a bit of saving this year .

 

[booB]

Satyricon, Nemesis Divina

Awesome! I was surprised to see this disc at the show, and I'm even more surprised to see that someone bought it. One of the best "troo" black metal discs ever.

 

[DarkOne]

I was so good this year. Instead of buying steadily throughout the weekend, I did my shopping during the early GB period, and was done. Until, Damn it, I saw Therion. I had to go out and buy two Therion CDs. Damn them for being so good live.

Here's what I picked up:

Allen / Lande - The Battle (Good so far)
Avian (Sounded great at the Nightmare table)
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor (Zod forced me
Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic Calling
Redemption - Fullness of Time
Savage Circus - Dreamland Manor (Went to the listening party - Awsome!)
Spheric Universe Experience - Mental torments
Stride - Imagine
Symphorce Godspeed
The Storyteller Tales Of A Holy Quest
Therion Sirius B/Lemuria
Therion - Theli
ProgPower DVD

There are more "blind buys" here than I've bought in a looooong time. Here's hoping they pay off.

Steve in Philly

 

[MetalAges]

My turn!

Manticora - Hyperion
Manticora - Darkness With Tales to Tell (bye bye MP3s, oops did I say that...)
Kamelot - The Black Halo (yes, finally)
Primal Fear - Seven Seals (not as good as I would have hoped)
Masterplan - Aeronautics (see above)
Stride - Imagine (awesome!)
Pink Cream 69 - Thunderdome (best yet?)
Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion (yes, finally)
Battlelore - Third Age of the Sun (love em! Glenn PPUSA VII!)
Nightwish - Nemo single (don't care for singles but it was cheap)
Hammerfall - Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken (I know what to expect when I get a new Hammerfall disc, I love it)
Spheric Universe Experience - Mental Torments (hm, need to listen more...not as good as I was hoping on the first run through)
Starbreaker - S/T (see above)
Subterranean Masquerade - Suspended Animation Dreams (friggin awesome, buy it if you're looking for something original and refreshing!)
Icarus Witch promo (can't wait to check this out, loved the sampler tune!)
Dead Nature - Pure Impressions (see above)
Savage Circus - Dreamland Manor (I don't get it...the drummer from Blind Guardian leaves Blind Guardian, to release a new Blind Guardian disc that isn't really Blind Guardian...or is it? Only thing I can figure is he missed the old days where the band wasn't overblown in vocal layers and mega arrangements. Awesome disc if you like older Blind Guardian. Literally, if someone had played this for me and not told me who it was, I would have said it was a new Blind Guardian disc).
PPUSA DVD - Good stuff! Funny and a good look behind the scenes.

Of course the CD sampler for this year as well (awesome!). Various demos and mini samplers. I also received Opeth's new one when I got home (awesome so far!).
