Kalakai is Miami based band that I saw a few years back and though they were pretty damn good. Perhaps they wouldn't mind playing.

by **MitchTheMetalhead** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:23 pm

Fuck ya! cant wait to headbang and get drunk with you crusty bastards! (and bastardess' ?)

I might take y'all up on this.... I'm staying just down the street... Essex House 1001 Collins Avenue, next to the Clevelander :shred:

by **Inquisitor** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:32 pm

My mate and I will be there, not that far from out the Port Holiday Inn. After the football game of course.

by **RazorReb** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 8:38 pm

Hope to be there. Have a long drive from middle Georgia.....of course we have to stop first and watch the Falcons beat the Packers. :beerwink:

Safe travel to all

:shred:

Horns Raised High for Captain Metal. Look forward to party with all. 2 friends and myself are staying at Newport Beachside Resort 16701 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida 33160. Also interested in sharing a cab if anyone is up our way?

by **Element0s** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 10:07 pm

Really hope I can crash this party. One of my travel-mates is under 21 by a few months!

by **Hellpig** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 10:14 pm

Hell yeah, we're staying at the midtown Inn, wich according to Google, is like an 10 min drive by taxi! So, we, the crazy Quebecers (Canada) are gonna raise hell with you all! let's kickstart this cruise like there's no tomorrow!!!

by **Captain Metal** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 10:42 pm

As to Tomasz suggestion for Kalakai, well you can be sure they will definitely NOT be playing, as I seriously dislike a few of those guys. So they can suck it! :lol:

And as for Craig's question about the outside stage, well it's not in the park area behind the club, but rather on the north side of the building. If you Google map it and look at it from the Satellite view, you can even see the stage on the right side of the patio area.

Thank you Captain! I really appreciate the hard work and frustration that went into making this happen. I'm sure all of us will at the very least make an appearance. This sounds awesome, my friend :headbanger:

Yeah, sounds good. Looking forward to it :headbanger:

by **Davina** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:09 am

Coooool! Thanks for organising this Captain Metal. Me and the hubby will definitely be there after we've had some burgers! :party:

What ID is acceptable at the door? Will my UK photographic driving license be ok or should I bring my passport?

I guess I'll bring my driver's license.

But if they ID me for 21, I'll probably fall over in chock anyways and won't be able to enter once I start laughing

Well in your avatar, you do look a bit like Fadel Castro.

by **RevWhite** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:53 am

Sweet deal man, I know what I'm doing Sunday now. :headbanger:

by **Brodd** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:56 am

Sounds awesome. I'll do my best to be there.

Take a look at the "bird's eye" view to get an idea of the parking situation. Looks like a park behind the building, will the outdoor stage be there?

Google Earth view is superior now that I look at it.

Yeah, and there is the street view as well. I can see a car parked on the building's back, but it could be the open space for the stage. Hope it doesn't rain!

Should I by happy or angry about that comment?

Hell, I'll just say you owe me beer, yay!

BTW, I have a much cooler hat on that pic and a much cooler beard than FC, and I'm very much younger than that dude

Well, that's good, we don't want the massive Cuban population in Miami to get the wrong idea.

by **lacunabliss** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:35 am

Cool thanks for organizing!

What are the set times? A few bands I don't want to miss.

Well, people tell me I look like Osama bin Laden, so maybe we should go together with gnoff? :lol:

I am almost 49. My flight gets in after 8 pm on the 23rd after leaving Sea-Tac at 8:25 in the morning. Lay over in Dallas. I am staying in Coral Gables about 4 miles from the Miami Airport. I am going to put my bags in the room and go to a German restaurant and have dinner and a few beers and then get some much deserved shut eye. Friday is going to be fun and fantastic and I want to absorb the entire event with open eyes. As it is, I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning Sunday the 23rd to get to the airport by 6:30.

I will see you young-uns on the Majesty.

Yeah I'm definitely going to the pre-party :headbanger:

after the football games. The second game won't be over until close to 10pm EST, so maybe we can leave a little early if the mood suits us. If it's a killer game, maybe we stay. We can play it by ear. Then we can cram in a cab and hop over to Transit lounge. It's only about 8 miles/15 min away.

Metal? :shred:

Any one wanna share a cab with me from Ft Lauderdale to this event and back send me a PM.......

by **asmegin** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 8:45 am

Sadly, the lady and I will not be able to attend. It would cost $100+ in cab fairs to go there and back to the hotel and would be just rushing everywhere. Would rather take the lady out for a nice romantic dinner and enjoy the evening before set sailing.

Hope everyone else has fun!

Might be different in Miami because it's a big tourist destination, but generally you would need to use your passport for identification if you don't have a US or Canada driver's license.

by **bangers** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 9:44 am

Fuck yeh. I will be there ..... With bells on ! Time to get our mother fuckin drink on!

Well, you knew from the get go that Brian and I would be down with whatever you planned... but I'll pipe up here and send another round of thanks to you for getting things put together. I'm glad so many people are going to be able to make it!

It's going to be awesome. :mrgreen:

Well, Scott - you do have a lot longer travel day than I do.....but - you should go to this shindig man! You don't have to stay too late or anything - plus you can sleep in a bit the next morning. Hell, if I can do it, you can do it. Okay....here's a bribe - maybe there's a slow dance to Peaches & Herb's Reunited in store for you if you do. :lol:

Hmmmm?

by **Captain Metal** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:01 am

That's right, wear him down with your feminine wiles :lol:

by **junkhead13** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:07 am

That would work. Donn, wasn't Cesar talking about using Reunited at the Hibernus reunion show (whenever that is going to happen).

Translation for others: the drummer for Thrash or Die has expressed interest in Reunited

I'm doing my best! The Peaches & Herb song reference still cracks me up - Scott mentioned it on the "what kinds of music do you like (besides metal)?" thread a while back - to which I believe I replied "Reunited? What? Are we like at high school prom circa 1978 or something?" Seriously doubt any of the metal bands you've booked will play Reunited....but then again....a metal version could be quite humorous.

are we still talking about goofy 70's song Reunited or something else?

by **junkhead13** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:10 am

that is the one.

Would have been perfect if Hibernus Mortis decided to reunite for this one. You would have had your song, and Scott would have had his slow dance!

Oh - too funny - just found a youtube of the song done by Faith No More at Download Festival in 2009 :lol:
