Alright, so I haven't been answering my phone lately. There's a reason for that. I've been extremely busy on the phone, e-mailing, and texting with a guy from Rockford, Illinois. No, he's not boyfriendish or anything like that. We've been talking business. *gasp*

Since highschool, I've been joking around about putting on a heavy metal festival. Well, it was a joke...but it was also something I really wanted to do. I'm sick of the this country's music taste. I know a lot of people in the metal underground in America, who love the obscure European metal bands that I also love. But we don't get to see them....unless we want to travel 4 hours...or fly across the ocean...or by some sheer luck they happen to be an awesome metal fesival near you.

So I don't know about anybody else, but I'm tired of Wacken, Tuska, Sweden Rock, Metalcamp, Hellfest, so on and so forth...well...ALL BEING IN EUROPE! That doesn't help us.

Basically, I'm seriously looking for people who want to put in the time, the effort, the money [of course], and most importantly...the people who aren't going to sound creepy to the bands...HIGHLY IMPORTANT...and want to be a part of making a real fucking European heavy metal festival in AMERICA. Not to mention, a real European heavy metal festival in Central Illinois! If the cards are played right, we could be the next Wacken Open Air.

I plan to play my cards right. So if you seriously want to help, let me know. This dude and I can't do this by ourselves. A festival, especially a music festival, is a massive operaton. We need insurance, we need ordinances, zoning, a LOCATION!, MONEY, organizing, permits OUT THE ASSS! advertising, a NAME!, logo, shirts, FOOD, BANDS!!!!!!, and everything else under the godforsaken sun.

Should everything work out, it'll start out as a one day festival with 7 or 8 bands. Eventually, I'd like it to be 4 days with over 100 bands!!! So hit me up if you want to help =].
