Who out there is going to be attending this year's Rocklahoma in Pryor, OK?

Which bands are you looking forward to seeing?

I will try to drive up on Friday as I really want to see the reunited TRIUMPH. Also will be working on Sunday for ZEBRA.

The majority of shows are either in New York (Long Island) or some festival dates in Louisiana. Rocklahoma should bring a lot of national (and possibly international) exposure for the band. I am working on possible shows in Dallas, Tulsa, and St. Louis - after Rocklahoma.

As Andrew mentioned in his review of Zebra's DVD, if you do not already have it, it is highly recommended.

Triumph is great, but Zebra -- what kind of Jurassic butt-rock is that?

Sorry, Don, I had hoped that I could make this one, but sadly my husband only found a part-time gig for the next couple of months. As a result, FF is still up in the air, too. :cry:

Have a wonderful time! 8)

Plus, a fifth day was added on Wednesday:

Wednesday July 9th
Ratt
Jackyl
All Star Fantasy Camp
Firehouse
Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp Jam
(General Admission is $25. Free Admission for active member of the Armed Forces.)

PRYOR, OK - Due to the massive tornado that hit the town of Picher, OK members of the Rock community have banded together to play a benefit concert Wednesday, July 9th at Rocklahoma. Proceeds are to benefit the victims of a deadly tornado that caused severe damage to this Northeastern Oklahoma town.

Picher, OK at one time with a population of 1,600 was severely affected by a F4 Tornado on May 10, 2008. "There were seven casualties in Picher alone with tornado winds estimated at 165 to 175 miles per hour. The twister was a mile wide at its widest point," National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Teague said. A total of 114 homes were leveled by this deadly tornado.

Dave Giencke, Director of Operations had this to say, "We at Rocklahoma want to give back to our neighboring community of Picher and help the residents rebuild their lives!"

Looks that way. I just copied and pasted. The lineup is so huge that some of it was probably on page 2 of the site. Thanks for catching that!
