    If the Atlanta date wasn't in August I'd be able to go.

    Oh well.

    St. Louis? :(

    Coming soon, I guess. I'd like to go all the way up to Chicago, but I doubt that'd happen. I'll just see MegaDeth, Dream Theater, Symphony X, and Dillinger Escape Plan.

    What's up with all the official thread trend? :lol:

    I blame Casey.

    I'd go solely for Dream Theater.
