Concerts, concerts everywhere
This is going to be a busy year for me with concerts. I've already had three shows in February: Helloween/Gamma Ray (twice) and Iron Maiden (once). Here's what I have for the future:
Symphony X at El Corozon on 4/16
Dream Theater at Wamu Theater on 5/5
Wacken 2008 with Avantasia/Iron Maiden in Germany on 7/31-8/02
Edguy (opening for Kamelot) at El Corozon on 10/23
I was going to see Turisas on May 5th but it's the same day as the Dream Theater show. If I hadn't purchased my tickets to DT's show already, I'd just skip them and see Turisas. And if there wasn't so many bands on the Turisas' gig line-up I might be able to see both concerts on the same day. Though my calculations say that Dream Theater will go on stage at 10:00pm while Turisas would go on around 10:30pm. D'oh.
Though I'm less than enthusiastic about seeing most of those shows at the El Corozon. That's the same place that I broken my nose at during the Blind Guardian show in 2006. And pictures are going to be fun since it's a tight space to begin with.
I still don't know where I'll be staying for Wacken. I can't drive so I'm limited on places nearby. The only problem is, there is nothing nearby. Supposedly they have buses and such that go to Wacken but I don't know if they go from the hotels or not. Yeah I could camp but I don't really want to do it alone.
