OCTOBER RANT!!!!

AHHHH THIS IS MENTAL. 3 OF MY FAVE BANDS ARE ALL TOURING AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Forever Never: Oct 13th - 30th
Fozzy: Oct 9th - 21st
Avenged Sevenfold/Stone Sour: Oct 26th - Nov 7th

Now, before the Fozzy and FN tours were even announced, I bought tickets to 8 A7X shows. Well, 7, but I'm getting an 8th because I am NOT missing the Halloween show. Sooo... October 26th, 27th, 28th, 30th, 31st and November 2nd, 4th and 6th I'm at A7X/Stone Sour shows.

Now, Fozzy tour is all before that, and I'm sure I can fit a few Forever Never ones in between but this is really, really awkward. A7X are my fave band in the entire world and I've spent so much money on tickets for this tour, and I still have half the transport to work out, and two or three hotels to book.

Forever Never and Fozzy are both my friends... and I can't neglect them!!!

I sent Rich from Fozzy a text: "Forever Never, Fozzy and A7X/Stone Sour all touring the UK within 3 weeks of each other. Life is cruel. I need to win the lottery!"

He replied with... "Well you know I have you covered at the door for all our shows." Which is all well and good, but tickets for the shows isn't the problem!!! It's transport costs LOL and, providing I'm working then, taking time off work. I doubt I'll be able to take an entire month off, no matter what job I get.

Both Fozzy and Forever Never are playing shows in Manchester, and I can make the Fozzy one because it's on a Saturday, but Forever Never are playing on a Wednesday and there are no buses running home during the week after 11pm. Last time I went to a gig during the week, it cost me £38 in a taxi home. I wouldn't mind that for a one off, but considering A7X/Stone Sour are doing 2 Manchester shows over the following couple of weeks, during the week, that adds up to a lot of taxi costs...

and now Renny from FN is making me feel bad!!

"ps since when does Wednesday stop you from going to a gig? If Fozzy or Avenged were on a Wednesday I bet you'd make it! ;) haha"

:(

I don't know what to dooooo!!!!!!!!!


*SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH*

They should make this easier on me and all tour together for an epic supertour.

I feel like I'm letting down my friends of 5 years for A7X >.< I've been so loyal to them since the day I met them. I've seen Rich's bands 38 times and I dunno how many times I've seen FN but it's gotta be at least 20. Now it's like I'm blowing them all off for this band I've become obsessed with.

This feels horrible... but I'm not willing to cancel any of the A7X shows I have planned.

O.O

Uhh...

Wow. 

I don't know what to say, or how to remedy the situation.   :-\

Like I said I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I finally got my hubby on the phone so now I have tickets purchased to see Roger Waters in Dallas in November. Wheee.

Mark Chapman

-_-

I NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS MESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Me
I feel really bad XD I'm going to see A7X in Manchester on a Wednesday and a Thursday lol. I need a job fast so I can afford £100 worth of taxi fares in 3 weeks!

Renny
Are they playing two nights in Manchester?

Me
Yeah. Like a week apart. I think it's because they could only get Academy, so they're doing 2 because of capacity. I dunno.

Me
Make it easy on me and support them XD

Renny
haha
I wouldn't mind
but I don't think it's gonna happen

Me
You've opened for Stone Sour before. I remember that <33

Renny
Yeah that's true. Corey didn't remember me at K Awards :(
tosser

Me
Oh wow LOL Shoulda slapped him :P I'm gonna be reeeeeally nice to Jericho when I go see Fozzy cause he is friends with A7X :D

Renny
He's particularly friends with Portnoy

Me
I know. So I need to be really really nice and let him know that I spent almost 300 quid on A7X tickets and that he should totally hook me up with a backstage pass or something

Me
I bought all my A7X tickets before I even knew about FN or Fozzy tours so now I'm like... shit -_-

Renny
Oh dear!
Well our tickets are only... 6 quid aren't they?
haha
That's value for money!

Me
tickets aren't the problem XD I text Rich and he's like "You know I have you covered for all our shows"... it's travel that's expensive LOL But I'll have a word with a lovely taxi driver called Jimmy who has said in the past he'll run me home from Manchester for £20 or something. All depends on if I get one of these 2 jobs I have interviews for. Otherwise, I'm screwed in October. Royally. lol

Renny
haha
Its funny how many tours there are in October
Alter Bridge too
Attack Attack (not that I particularly like them but still)

Me
O_O Alterbridge too?! Don't tell me that!

I can go with you? PLEASE?!!!


Shane Sanders

 :D that's fine with me sadly we are in the nosebleed because we are poor people but just to say i was there is enough for me 

DreamGoddessLindsey

I wish I had so much money that I could go to eight concerts back to back! Damn! I can't imagine how much money you'll be spending. Probably more than I get for an entire month!

Mark Chapman

More than I could actually afford lol.

Tim

Yeah bout to say, I don't care who the band is,m no way would I pay for eight shows in one month.  That is insane.  Clearly, you are more hardcore than I.

Blitzkrieger

Christ, I'd be lucky enough to go to a show lol

I'd see them more, if I could :D
I'd also do the full Fozzy tour, if I had the money for the transport (don't have to pay for ticket) but, again, I'm hoping to have a job by then and there's no way I can take an entire month off anything >.<

Only one person I can think of that I would do that for... but he's currently back touring with Styx... so........

I wouldn't even see that many shows for Rollins, and we all know how much I adore that tattooed hunk of male intensity. :)


Shane Sanders

I couldn't do that. I can't even think of a band or a singer alive that I would bother spending that much money to see let alone go to that many shows. Of course all my faves are either dead, don't tour anymore, or if they do tour they don't come anywhere near me.

Then again I waste my money on other useless junk lol. Like WoW, anime, and action figures. So, I'm no help.

You know how I am for A7X >.<

And I'm used to doing this shit thanks to Fozzy/Stuck Mojo/Rich in general. I've been spending stupid amounts of money on tours since Feb 2005 lol

ALSO!





Makes me happy :D

*waits for the rest to arrive*
