Going to be bringing some vinyl sleeves in hopes of getting signed. Got some white whales for FF. AMERICAN nightmare background music would be amazing.
Where has everyone booked hotels for? I'm at the Hampton Inn in Irondale, but I keep glancing to see if any closer ones drop into that price range.
It's funny, they didn't add Control to the album play line despite announcing it. And Gojira isn't on it anymore, either?
I think they were already on it. They’re doing a bit of a social media push on lesser known bands to get more people into them, I think. They did the same for Koyo.
So who all is going? As of right now, I'm driving down Thursday in time for a pre-show. But if a pre-show doesn't catch my eye, I'll just drive down after work to save the PTO. Current plan is to leave on Sunday. If I can sneak in Four Year Strong and Spiritbox and still make it back home in relatively good time, I'll make that happen. But I suspect they'll be playing later in the day. I should've stayed for Showbread last year.
Do you have preshow insights too? We'll have to meet up; it looks like I'm doing this year solo. Debating whether or not to pay they ridiculous parking money or not. It was kinda awesome, ngl. I was on the interstate like 6 minutes after the headliner ended the first two nights.
If I end up going, it'll be incredibly last minute. Just too costly for me coming from Michigan for the lineup unfortunately.
Well I would love to meet the both of you and you two have been the most active in this thread! Im a distant third haha. im flying in the Wednesday before, and leaving that Monday after.
I think I mentioned it in here, but just in case you haven’t booked a hotel, I’m at the Hampton Inn on Old Grants Mill. Pretty decent prices/free breakfast.
I’m looking to come in for just Saturday. I live in Atlanta so its a quick hop over Saturday AM and stay the night.
Last year I stayed on the one hotel everyone said to avoid - the dreaded Ramada by the airport. I had zero issues with that place. Haven't seen any roaches, haven't encountered any bedbugs and haven't seen anything sketchy around the hotel.
i'm about 51% sure i'll be there just for the friday bands. haven't bought anything yet, and i'm not sure about payin 6-8$ a gallon come september to drive up there. i'm tryin to convince a few friends of mine to come/carpool with me. ...would drive early thursday to get there in the evening. party hard friday, and then drive back home saturday.
