I am actually hoping that we can break the record for longest-period-between-band-announcements, currently 98 days which is held by Barge To Hell.
Only about 25 days to go :)

I though you said we already broke the record? Or was that for 70K only?
Also, it's unfortunate, but...this:dinki wrote:dude calm down. SOON

Well and truly broken the 70k record (previous record was a mere 60 days - we are now at 74!).
UMC record stands at 98 days though for Barge To Hell :)

Of course they are two separate things even UMC count them as 2 separate things:
"Are you ready for Round 4 of The Original Heavy Metal Cruise? "
If they were not 2 separate things, it would be Round 5 :)
Anyone remember this classic quote from the skipper?
"I will more frequently announce that I have nothing to annouce from now on"
His definition of "more frequently" is about the same as his definition of "soon" it would seem

hahaha.
THE POINT NEEDS TO BE MADE. HARD.
Yeah I'm pretty curious about information. It doesn't even cross my mind daily, though. Andy was really good about giving updates and info early on in the 2014 campaign. This summer drought is normal though. I imagine he's globetrotting, attending festivals, speaking with bands and agents, and hiring new UMC help. Either way, nothing for me to be worried aboot. I'm more worried about my bum cabin-mates actually getting around to giving me money....

I've spoken to Dave and understand his situation. I've assured him it's not a problem, as long as our other cabin-mate actually contacts me and gives me money in the next week..

Good point.
And, I understand that Andy marches to the beat of his own drum and all that, but if it was me, I'd kinda say exactly the above.
ie.
"This is your captain speaking, updates will be sparse to non-existent for the next 2-3 months as I visit festivals internationally in order to shore up the best lineup imaginable"
Rather than what we had, of UPDATE, PHOTO, BAND, UPDATE, UPDATE, PHOTO, PHOTO, BAND, BAND......*radio silence*.....

Yeah - I edited my above post. Last two cruises haven't had any announcements in August so won't be holding my breath for an announcement!

He promised a cruise with at least 40 bands in defined time and he delivers.
The rest is not his priority.
That's what he said to me some time ago.
So, take a deep breath & go to any summer festivals or shows.
