Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there.

Noo, this is what i didn't want to happen!
Here they CAN (and will) ignore it... ah well. I guess it's right should be right after all, huh..

Ah well, i'm still gonna bump it now and then to make sure that no one will miss it unless it's on purpose.
And it's too bad none of you could be there, it would be nice if some from PA would, not that i'd ever dare talk to anyone, haha..

I'm going, I bought the ticket (which is quite cheap for such an event). I just need to buy plane tickets and maybe book a hotel room in Stockholm because I'll arrive probably a couple of days before the event.

Wooot!! nice to see my trailer posted here (that wasn't me pimping the damn thing LOL)
 
In case nobody read the melloboat thread (there are 2 floating around here I believe), here's what I just wrote in the first Melloboat thread I found...
 
Apparently there have been some system problems at Silja and some people have had difficulty booking tickets.
 
If any of you are one of those affected, please email [email protected] and it will all be sorted!!

And by the way, Fredrik Thordendal has agreed to join the Mats/Morgan team for the boat trip, and they'll be playing some of Special Defects' Sol Niger Within.
 
And I think Lars Hollmer will be doing something too. 
 
 
I think under 18s can go if they have someone of age who takes responsibility for them.  I think there's a way around this age thing.  Email [email protected] and ask!!
 
And of course...I'll be there.  I'm not the biggest talker on PA, but I am a member.  LOL

Excellent.  Hope you can make it.
 
For the Swedes on the board, I'm not sure if it's this Thursday or next Thursday, but P3 will be airing an interview with Mikael Åkerfeldt regarding the boat trip and Comus etc, and they'll be playing a bit of Anekdoten for good measure...Tongue Uhm...I think half the programme will be on radio the other half on the net.  I think it's from 21:00 to midnight or something to that effect.
 
I'm a bit hazy on the details, so I'll get back to you on that one.

Aw, come on, Jhsutt (wtf?), it's not that far! :) Would you really miss the first Comus appearance for over 30 years?

First...and only.  As far as I know, it's a one time only reunion, especially for this boat trip.  Of course, it's possible it might turn into another Led Zep-type reunion, who knows.  November was supposed to do a one-time appearance only on last year's Melloboat, and that ended up in them being reunited, so...you actually never know.  But if it's financially feasible, I wouldn't take the chance of not going because it's too far. 
 
Of course, if it's not financially feasible, you have my Cry's.

You work at mellotronen, firefly? You're not the guy who just recently disovered Fleetwood mac's Rumours, are you?
