Wizard coming to the US (Chicago)!!! Ragnarokkr Fest 2012

[J. Golden]

Thanks... and I am too.

I'm still up in arms about this Blabbermouth thing. Like Diabolik implied they post such inane bullshit...why wouldn't they post stuff about a true metal fest in the States??

They post stuff about ProgPower and MDF and maybe even Rites of Darkness. WHAT THE FUCK GIVES?

I have a theory on this. If you've seen some of the stuff some of the promoters have said on FB....yeah, I'll leave it at that.

I'll be getting that framed.

saw Borrowed Time last.....holy smokes they may steal the show in May.

Skullview last night were also amazing. Damn, Mike Quimby has some amazing vocal chords.

I would've liked Borrowed Time if it wasn't for the vocals. They just rubbed me the wrong way. But yeah, Quimby definitely can belt it.

 

[Diabolik]

My favorite part of Borrowed Time is the vocals.

I agree. Very good live band. Great selection of covers as well. Anyone who covers a Randy song is good in my book.

Is there anywhere to get the Borrowed Time 7'' domestically? They didn't respond to my post on their FB wall and I don't feel like paying $14 for it to be shipped from Germany.

 

[Diabolik]

I am sure Planet metal will be getting it. I know the singer is selling it for 30 bucks with a limited t-shirt and some other stuff.

I'm proud to say, it wasn't me this time. I'm still working on how to get it in. If not, you haven't seen nothing yet....

If anyone else is attending this fest from out of town and is interested in sharing a hotel room, shoot me a PM. I'm driving from VA and want to keep my costs down where possible.

There is one hotel in walking distance, but trust me when I say I doubt you would want to stay there!!!!!

SANCTUARY stayed at the hotel casino, Harrahs. You might want to look into that.

 

[TychoCelchu]

Anyone know what the Super 8 that's about 3 miles away is like?

Not sure what hotel you are talking about Jasonic. I had a room at the Harrahs for the Sanctuary (& Ghost in the Ruins) show. It was pretty affordable & a real nice room. Free parking in the ramp & only a block & a half from Mojoes.

I don't remember the name of the hotel. Its on the street BEHIND MoJoes, running parallel to Cass Ave.

Looks from the outside like they DEFINITELY have hourly rates!!! :Smokedev:

I wonder if that might save you money, in the long run? I'll have to run a comparison...

Same here. It should be quite the celebration of all things denim, leather and bullet belts!
