Don't be cheap!!!! Treat Mom to a new hotel room

I had thought of flying down and doing the Hotel thing and flying back...be cheaper to go to Melbourne and see them there on March 16th and fly back straight after the concert. Plan is to bike down, sleep at train station, listen the concert from outside the Stadium then bike home...now thats cheap!

A pentecostal church is planning to protest against it.... SATANISM is feared. Saw it in the newspaper today, hilariously naive.

A crusade is looming as church groups prepare to take on heavy metal heavyweights poised to play in Wellington over Easter.

Wellington pentecostal church Lifepoint says the lineup of bands - including former bat-biter Ozzy Osbourne and Kiss - are "not appropriate" and will have "negative influences" on the city during the two-day Rock2Wgtn festival on March 22 and 23.
They plan to lobby other church groups and will look at taking their concerns to Wellington City Council.

"It's not appropriate from our angle of things," said pastor Karen Crawshaw.
"I don't think we can force our views on others but at the same time we think it's a very negative influence on our city.
"It'll put a damper on the things the church traditionally focuses on at the Easter season."

The condemnation follows confirmation that another hellish rock act, Finnish heavy metal band Lordi, has been booked to appear at the Wellington event.
The band, whose five members dress in elaborate costumes as monsters and demons, won the Eurovision song contest last year.
The winning song, Hard Rock Hallelujah, includes the lyrics "I got horns on my head, my fangs are sharp and my eyes are red" - and prompted Finland's religious leaders to warn that the band could inspire devil worship. But vocalist Tomi Putaansuu, a former film student who calls himself Lordi, denies any Satanic leanings.

Concert promoter Phil Sprey has said the concert's lineup, expected to draw 80,000 people to Westpac Stadium over two days, would have a broad appeal.
Mr Sprey said the names of three more international bands and "two or three" Kiwi acts would be released over the next three weeks. The music would appeal across the generations - from children, to people in their 60s.
"It's a celebration of a weekend, a day everyone's supposed to be happy and cheerful. All we're doing is adding to that," he said.

But Ms Crawshaw said the music genre "brings together people who have a great deal of pain".
"I guess they find expression in that but it doesn't have a positive answer. The Easter story has a positive answer."

Father David Kennerley, of St Mary of the Angels Catholic Church, said the issue was more a reflection on how society was, rather than a religious matter.
"It's not the sort of thing I'd be going to," he said.

Mr Sprey said tickets would be available through Visa pre-sale on December 17 and to the public on December 20.
Prices would be announced shortly.

Yeah, I saw that, along with the picture of the bizarre Finnish metal band.

Best publicity ever.

"It'll put a damper on the things the church traditionally focuses on at the Easter season."

Really? How does a fuck off big heavy metal gig detract from kids eating chocolate?

Three acts confirmed....KISS/OZZY/LORDI....we have our Airline Tickets and Hotel is paid for....Concert Tickets go on sale Dec 16th for Visa Card Holders. Lordi have a great sound and are something very different visually....which attracted me to KISS in 77'....
