Rank 'em!

That's what I did, too. Made the airport wait tons of fun

I'm still perplexed how you managed to miss everyone on the forum. Heck, I don't remember ever seeing you and I remember tons of people who weren'r (and still aren't) forumites.

I met Debb at the karaoke place the last night. Other than that, I had no concept of who anyone was and kind of did my own thing, I guess. This year will be totally different

Well my favorite Mexican is HECTOR. So f you don't mind playing "2nd Fiddle" and being our "Chamber Maid" we'll get along just fine.

If I'm only half Mexican does that make me only half "Chamber Maid"?

As long as you don't get stingy with the toiletries

I saw 28 full sets last time, and it was more than enough. Felt like there was little time to eat and just sit around (though I'm not complaining).

Anything more than this would be tough to pull off in my opinion. I was just too tired and didn't see Marduk a 2nd time or get up early for Swashbuckle either time.

And I suspect that we all know each better this time around that there will be even more socializing and then meeting all the "newbies" as well. I bet people are going to bail on a few sets when push comes to shove

Jeez, I thought I hit up a lot of sets (pretty sure I was 24 or 26 full sets, don't remember; have posted it many times though).

The only non-negotiables for me are Kamelot, Orphaned Land, and Alestorm twice (possibly Hammerfall twice). Other than that, I need to prioritize and whatnot. I'd LIKE to see Therion, Virgin Steele, Eluveitie, and Moonsorrow twice, but I don't really see that happening with there being conflicts and whatnot.

Sounds do able, I think I saw over 25 bands last year and that was with me crashing early a couple times cause of motion sickness.

[EvilDan]

I will do a full ranking once the full lineup is announced

Quit copying me!

So, you are planning on coming OUT of your cabin this year.

Bier makes sense and that I like it is meaningfull

TRUEST POST EVER.

Updating my list again -- this time with more of a priority-type thing.

My problem is that, if there's a band I want to see, I have a hard time NOT seeing both sets. That being said, there's a lot of bands I want to check out so I'm going to need to prioritize here. This is super compartmentalized, but it'll help me in the long run.

Bands I Will Definitely See Both Sets -- Non-Negotiable
1. Kamelot (10/10)
2. Orphaned Land (10/10)
3. Alestorm (10/10)

Bands I Will Definitely See Both Sets Unless One Of The Top Three Is Playing
4. Hammerfall (9.75/10)
5. Therion (9.75/10)
6. Eluveitie (9/10)

Bands I Will Definitely See One Set
7. Virgin Steele (9/10)
8. Moonsorrow (9.5/10 -- probably one of my favorite bands announced, to be honest, not sure why I have a hard time putting them up top in the non-negotiables; do want to catch other bands I haven't seen before though).
9. Nightwish (7.5/10)
10. Riot (8/10)
11. Tristania (7.5/10)
12. Children of Bodom (6/10; I'll get dragged to this one by my cabinmate; it's her favorite band)

Bands I'll Probably Catch One Set If It Doesn't Conflict (Very, Very Unlikely)
13. In Extremo (7/10)
14. Amorphis (pre-1995 my favorite band, now I can't stand them -- 5/10)
15. Crowbar (2/10; not a fan, but we're both from New Orleans; would rather drink with them than watch them play though)
16. Stratovarius (7/10, depending on what they play)
17. Grave Digger (5/10)
18. Tankard (4/10)

Bands I Don't Give Two Shits About
Annihilator (2/10)
Atheist (1/10)
Cannibal Corpse (2/10)
Channel Zero (1/10)
Coroner (1/10)
Dark Funeral (1/10)
Exciter (3/10)
God Dethroned (4/10)
Kataklysm (0.5/10)
My Dying Bride (3/10)
Overkill (5/10; we'll see, could move up to 'possible one set')
Pestilence (still haven't listened to)
Pretty Maids (6/10, don't care enough to see 'em though)
Samael (1/10; listened to a bunch of their stuff and hate them more every time, hahaha)
Suffocation (1/10)
Venom (1/10)
Whiplash (0/10; worst band I've ever heard)

And....i guess i'll see you at....An Orphaned Land set and an Alestorm set. wow, we have almost opposite tastes. not that it's a surprise seeing as i don't like much folk or operatic metal.

bands i give HUGE SHITS ABOUT:
Annihilator
Atheist
Coroner
God Dethroned
Kataklysm
My Dying Bride
Overkill
Pestilence
Samael
Venom
Whiplash

Oh, really? I said that MONTHS ago. Too lazy to find post.

*gulp*

Keep pretending. You seek no escape. You are the predator.

[EvilDan]

So, you are planning on coming OUT of your cabin this year.

Once in a while

When she's done with her latest (willing) victim, and it's time to go on the prowl.

I really wanted to go a different direction with this.

Off topic is the way to go!

You can try linking your avatar from an outside hosting site instead of uploading it to your profile. Some of our more tech savvy forumites can probably get a good resolution image you want to the proper size for ya too.

It fills the gaps and gives you the ability to be really patient with your REAL quarry.

Quelle surprise! J'ai pensé que tout le Quebecers aiment le tech-death (LOL). Je pense qu'Atheist est comme ces bandes. J'adore le metal du Quebec, en particulier Voivod, Martyr, Beyond Creation, Gorguts, Unexpect, etc. Je suis jaloux que tu vis là-bas.

I guess the word "surprise" and the list of bands at the end kindof gave it away.

[WizardBeast]

english vocab is heavily borrowed from the french via William the Conqueror 1066...it's very easy to understand printed french, not so easy to understand when spoken quickly.

Wait a minute, why do you know french?
