Make it easy on yourself and sort them chronologically. Makes it much easier to reaper people.

I'm gonna go with May 25 in spite of the fact that I think it might be the 24th if the recap release schedule is any indicator. But we all know the only predictable thing about Skipper is the unpredictability.

I can't believe I forgot this one on my list, but I would be remiss not to add a request for Feuerschwanz to my wishlist.

MORC has started announcements, so we can start up a list of unlikelies for 70K 2025. Burning Witches is the only one that hurts so far. But that's how Larry does things.

Regarding the Cemetery Skyline discussion from a few days ago (in case anyone hasn’t seen this): https://youtu.be/y1PQE6cxXK4?si=l302ExVU7yUCbFkt It’s not exactly what I expected, but I still dig it.

I'm not on facebook, but I'll find it.

Thanks!

I'll try to stick them on PhotoBucket or something. Not super easy to share pictures here.

It's Easter weekend? I guess Easter isn't as big a deal in the USA as in Australia? https://www.news.com.au/travel/destinations/north-america/baffling-easter-sign-for-australians-in-us/news-story/832e40d4dedc19397a97d1823234b9ed It's an EXTRA long weekend for us - Good Friday is always a public hol...

I keep meaning to grab the prices per person each year, and I keep forgetting. Realizing that prices will increase again, does anyone (Cowboy?) have the prices, or a screen capture, of 2024? I'm mainly interested in the larger occupancy rooms/suites. Please direct me to the appropriate thread if I ...

ah, so it's NOT just my internet acting up

Seems back to normal now.

We are up to over 175 people having requests submitted. A nice chunk and definitely a 'statistically significant' proportion of the total cruisers :) I'll collate everything over the Easter long weekend and submit to the skipper shortly after I think. Because I'm guessing/hoping we get more news .....

I feel like they could record a jam session in a garage with a single mic in a coffee can and it would still make a good album, lol. There’s almost zero chance that they’ll put out something that completely sucks. Just in case my post in the other wishlist thread got buried, I’d like to add them to...

Without actually hearing them? WOW

With that lineup, I have a hard time believing I won't like it. I just hope they have a set worth of material by then. lol

Dallas, please add Cemetery Skyline to my wishlist.

1 year for Silver, 3 years for Gold and 10 years for Black. Sale dates vary wildly and it's impossible to say before the announcement, last round the sales opened on May 30th for golds, June 6th for silvers and June 27th for newbies. Just to add to this... There is not only NOT a particular month, ...

I think this is the fastest that ALL of the daily recaps have ever been posted, at least from my memory. Great work by you and your team! I don't know about the fastest, but almost definitely the earliest. The drops were on the exact same schedule as 2023 recaps, except a day earlier. Although the ...

Already threw my wishlist in the proper thread, but I do have to take an extra second to laugh at 70K "employee" (who definitely doesn't handle booking) yelling at me not even a few months ago that 70K never takes requests or looks at wishlists Yeah, sure. Tell me more, tell me more :lol:...

Different beasts, my friend

Oh, definitely. Just couldn't get into it. That being said, Bill Hicks did always say that pop music was the TRUE music of Satan. lol

I mean, they're Prog/Melodeath, so I'd definitely catch a set if I'm onbroad, but I've only heard a couple songs that didn't really grab me. Maybe live would be the hook. I'm such a huge Be'lakor fan. They, along with Ghost, are my absolute favorite "new" bands of the last two decades I'v...

Honestly, I'm not even a fan (I'm not NOT a fan either, but I have no opinion either way), but I'd love to see them onbroad just to scratch that itch for so many survivors.

Guess the next question then is, other than Equilibrium this year, has there ever been a case of a band's performance not going ahead, and that set NOT being rescheduled? 2023 the Wolfchant lounge set was cancelled due to a medical issue of the drummer...i'm not 100% sure but i think it was not re-...

My issue here is she was saying blatantly false information. And I can't seem to find any evidence of her saying what you claim she said, so maybe trying to poke fun at someone where they're not isn't the flex you seem to think it is. I get it.

Yeah, no. I know for a fact this person doesn't know what they're talking about. They literally said 70K has no wishlist functionality and doesn't ask for people to guess or suggest on their announcement post. Which all of us here know is not just part of the cruise but an integral part of the anno...

Sadly no. I'd take any of those three over some of the bands we got this past year and some of the guaranteed duds we'll get this coming year. But again, I wasn't promising any booking for the original guy. Just some basic ways to help his band improve the odds from 0% to >1% (Because even Lich Kin...

I mean, you only become the next Rusted Soul if you annoy everyone and no one likes your music. Look at fellow boat vet bands like Inviolate, Scorched Moon, and Ravenous EH. They plug their band when appropriate and get added requests to play the boat from those of us on the forums Not that I don't...

Thanks for the info. I've been wondering about how I can get my band on. (I'm not the person in question here, lol). Guess I'll have to start dropping hints! \m/ Who knows?

Stats, please add Death Dealer Union to my wishlist. I can't believe I forgot them. As far as Lena bands go, I rather them than Infected Rain.

I just want Kyle on the boat cause he's a fucking cool guy. Exhorder, Trouble, Alabama Thunderpussy. I don't care. But so far, I'm really digging the hell out of the new Exhorder songs.

Not sure why, but Royal's checked-luggage handling STINKS. Last year, my rolling duffel was never brought to my stateroom. I happened to notice it wayyy down the corridor from my room, luckily on the same side of the ship as our stateroom. This year, similar story, but it was left closer to the roo...

*inserts own commentary* "And here we see fans charging into the theatre for the Equilibrium set....THAT NEVER HAPPENED" :| Dude, that was so sad. Never understood what happened there Fron what I heard, the original story was that Equilibrium's gear never made it on broad. But a day or so...

My track record of not showing up in 70K videos continues.

In four years of attending 70000 over the years personally I felt the hygiene and sanitation on the ship was the worse in the 4 years . My room attendant was very middle of the road with his efforts . Normally other years I found the room attendants a little more attentive , partially setting up a ...

Oh and another one: Art Of Anarchy

Dammit, get Jeff Scott Soto on the BOAT.
