I'm almost 100% positive i'm going next year. The posts in the "perspective of a first timer" thread have swayed my opinion. I don't really get the chance to connect with that many metal fans up here in CT, so the social aspect is big for me. The only band i'm a fan of on the lineup is Seventh Wonder, but i've been checking out some other bands on the lineup and i'm interested in Orden Ogan and Pagans Mind. I like a few (Jorn-era) Masterplan songs as well, but i'm not sure if i'll be able to stay through Saturday. I'm hoping to at least do Thursday and Friday though.
So yeah, I am definitely eating my words that I posted in the SW topic about how the lineup isn't worth it this year. I'm looking forward to a new experience.
I'm happy to hear you're considering coming, in case you still think I hate you.
However, if you're going to make the trip all the way to Atlanta, pay for two nights of hotel, flights, etc... staying through the whole festival won't make a huge difference financially. Trust me. We're talking no more than $150, and you'll get to experience the full thing.
It will be the best decision you'll ever make. I did it as a fan in 2002 for the first time. Haven't stopped since.
