back next year

[Warthog]

Ah, it's a workout! It's a good idea to get in shape before any festival where mud might be a factor, I think.

 

[LooseCannon]

Mud's nothing.I've been through worse.

I was reading this stupid post last week about Wacken complaining that they couldn't push the pram because of all the mud - WHAT A LAUGH!

 

[Supercharger]

Well..someone told mud is good for your skin

 

[Warthog]

Don't think you'll find Wacken festival mud at your local high-priced spa, Supercharger.

@Brat: No kidding! Should've brought some plywood or something to use as a skid...They shouldn't be blaming the festival for their own lack of ingenuity.

 

[Supercharger]

Me neither hahaha..but hell just three days without rain..it's that too much to ask?

 

[Fallen_Knight]

A good billing, sun but not that hot without rain and snow, that we want

Shall we ask Santa?

 

[Warthog]

Let's ask Yngwie. His ego is so big, he probably thinks he can control the weather too.

 

[Fallen_Knight]

That was funny *laugh*

Americans in Wacken

Glad to see some other Americans are willing to travel so far for good metal! I will be heading out this year from Las Vegas, NV.

I am staying in Hamburg at some Marriott hotel, can't remember the name off hand. I had considered getting a rental car and just going back and forth each day, in which case I'd be happy to hook up with others staying in Hamburg so we can share the rental car. However, if we can arrange a cool group of people to share the cost of a nice RV for 3 days, I'd be all over it!

Anyone interested can e-mail me direct at: lasvegasmetal@hotmail.com

Thanks!

 

[Fallen_Knight]

You are goin to be tired leaving when they close at 3 am and going back to festival at 10-11 am

 

[Warthog]

Hey! So there's some metal in Sin City? Excellent! Glad to have you aboard.

Just a suggestion, but I'd recommend not booking a hotel for the days during the festival. You will not spend enough time during the night to justify the cost, believe me! Start your bookng after the festival's over so you have a chance to wash three days of Wacken mud off and return to civilization.

If you can rent a car, sleep in it at the festival - you'll get more sleep that way, haha. An RV would be great, if it can be managed. Though again, you're coming during high tourist season, so they'll be in short supply.

I'm working on a website together with info and hints for American metalheads thinking of making the long pilgrimage to Wacken...I'll post something here when I have it up.

 

[Fallen_Knight]

Great!
Americans are getting a collected info-site, that is good

 

[Warthog]

Yeah, it'll have important bits of info like:

-Leave your "I Love President Bush" shirts at home
-Germans do not find it funny when you yell "RIIIIIIIIIICOLA!"
-Do not ask for Miller Lite and expect to come home alive

 

[Fallen_Knight]

Who drinks Miller?

I have tested it once and it was bad..
Nothing competes with european beers, mostly german...
