Oh Mr. Wombat...what is going on???????????????

I'll tell you all MONDAY.

It's already Tuesday ( and Wednesday where u are ) mate. It's ok. We can handle the news being delivered a day or two late. Spill the beans or at least give us hints.

Monday!!!! good god that's a long time for us to wait...but hey I am a Perry fan so waiting for me is no problem!!!

[G.I.Jim]

Columbia S.C. sounds like the best location to me!

do you all have electric amd running water down there sarge?

That was supposed to be included in the Obama Stimulus Package that never arrived.

True... I still have to run through the woods rubbing my ass through the dirt and leaves after I take a shit!

Jim, do we need to take up a collection and buy you some wet naps to help you out with your personal hygiene problem?

Damn... Are you trying to take ALL of my fun away?

Vermont please...Lots of: clean fresh air, sheep! and chicks that wear tube socks and flannel nighties in the evening.

The sheep sound more attractive than the women

That's what Stevew2 thinks also , regardless of what state you're talking about

The women are hot, you'd be surprised at the instant makeover they get once their tooth is flossed!

My two cents from the TIMRFC (Tito International Melodic Rock Fest Committee). Yes, this is on par with the IOC. I would rule out Detroit and New Orleans, because I do not want to get murdered or see anyone else get murdered. Toronto I would need a passport, so no good. Nice city though and potential favorite if not for the passport. Weak U.S. dollar also hurts this choice. The Canadian dollar is basically $1 for $1 with U.S. If it were .75 to $1 ratio, this would be the choice, but not now. South Bend was fun but I don't know if I would want to do it again, plus it is not a major city like the others on the list and this is a "big city" event. Vegas would be too cliche plus it is expensive as hell ($11 for a bottle of water...go fuck yourself). Although this would be a good draw both internationally and domestic for MR, so it may be worth it. That leaves the big 3, which sucks. Chicago's negatives would be too close to South Bend (for the we want something new crowd) and is probably a little weaker/less sexy than the other two remaining cities (although it is better than LA). The positive would be Andrew would probably have a lot of contacts in the area from his first show which could make things smoother. New York would be a draw and a good choice but L.A. would probably make the most financial sense since most of the artist reside out there (saving on travel and hotel expenses for Andrew). Plus, it is a tourist destination (for some reason). Also, it gives you the feel of a foreign country (yet still in the U.S.). Probably the best bet and most sense and gives me a legit excuse not to go...fuck that city and the whole state for that matter.

TIMRFC's rankings:
1. L.A.
2. N.Y.
3. Chicago
4. Vegas
5. Toronto (would be #1 if passport not needed and there was a strong U.S. dollar. Blame the neocons for both.)
6. South Bend
7. New Orleans
8. Detroit.

Nice to see a post where you make a lot of sense

Chicago is almost on par for musicians over LA....as it NYC, so it's an even call there. But I know Chicago and I know LA very well. I don't think I'd want to put on a show in LA.

You must have missed Herbie's post about hiring his band "The Windy City Breakdown"... :wink:

[Andrew]

Chose to ignore that one.

Plus MG is WAYYYYYYY off topic. This thread is now about MR Fest II in Vermont. Maybe Andrew can get everyones favorite jam band (Phish) to make an appearance.

Now this is my fantasy, so please bear with me.....Maybe Andrew is planning Steve Perry's Comeback concert? That would be friggen incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of my posts make sense (excluding most of my responses to SteveW). L.A. eliminated in the first round = stunning upset. Your comments do not sound good for the anti-Chicago contingent.

No "The." Just "Windy City Breakdown."

[Playitloudforme]

Oh well, if not LA, where I have family and could save on hotel.. it won't be likely for me. The economy still sucks eggs.

Have fun ya'll.

[Behshad]

Oops, sorry...I almost called it "The Windy City Breakdown'S" earlier and then I noticed the
error of my ways!!!

[Since 78]

Note to self: Eat lunch before reading MR. On happy note, LA is leading!

[Behshad]

Even though LA leads the poll , Chicago has been chosen

now we need a date so we can plan

You know what, I'm going with Tasmania. I need a good excuse to head down there again.

if hotel is an issue for ya, you just come over to ChiTown and you can use Tito's couch

or the backseat of his Malibu. Just move all the Snickers' wrappers.

I still shake my head when people think that because chicago is sorta in the middle of the country, that it's convenient for everyone. The fact of the matter is that with the exception of chicago residents, it was convenient for no one.


Alot of this should be centered around what artists can show up.....ease of transportation, accomodations, venue...etc...


I still think suberbs of NY is a PRIME location...as is the LA area. they are transportation hubs, even more so than Chcago is. You can get a plane to NYC alot cheaper, at all times of the year/day to NYC than you can to Chicago...that's a fact. Consider that in the calculations of where to fucking hold this fucking thing, fuckers!

There had been some comments thrown around during the last MR.com fest....that had it been held in NYC or LA, it would have been more successful. I'm inclined to concur with such sentiment...

Just sayin.

Well maybe it had been more successful if it had been held in Chicago Quit your whining, If you think you can use this lame ass excuse to get out of this even, you better think twice fucker !:);)

Hey I said NYC from the get go...but Chicgao is not that much more as far as the cost for me

LOL.....last time, the excuse wasn't location....it was school, fucker!

I don't have such an excuse this time around, so dont worry...I'll be there to make all of you other fucks either very miserable or very drunk.



I just thought South Bend was a fucking awful location regardless....if you were going to do an event in a suburb of a major city, a 1 hour train ride out....NYC or LA was a far better choice, IMHO.
