I wanna rock! (ROCK!)

Big news people: A fifth(!) day has been added to Rocklahoma!

Seriously!

Rocklahoma is a music festival featuring all pop metal bands, mostly from the 80's, in Oklahoma. It was started last year and over 100,000 people trekked to the Oklahoma prairie to ROCK!

This year there is FIVE FULL DAYS of rocking. And I need to go.

Bands include: Warrant, Kix, Brett Michels (of Poison), Sebastian Bach (of Skid Row, obviously), Dokken, LA Guns, Queensryche and so many others.

Anyone that knows me (and those of you that read the post on Def Leppard) will know that I love metal, and especially cheesy metal. I love Dragonforce. I love Mastodon. I love 80's metal. Unfortunately Dragonforce or Mastodon will not be at Rocklahoma as that would kill the spirit of the festival. BUT, there is FIVE FULL DAYS of 80's metal bands.

That means:

FIVE FULL DAYS of bands wanting to play new material while the crowd yells for their one big hit they had in 1986.

FIVE FULL DAYS of 45 year old men staring at 45 year old women and wondering if while Warrant sings "Heaven" they might get away with feeling them up.

FIVE FULL DAYS of middle aged men wondering if it's too late to "rock out with their cock out". (I do not support this or the use of this phrase.)

FIVE FULL DAYS of me wondering if I'm the youngest person there and then noticing that I'm in Oklahoma and there are at least 300 8-12 year olds with mullets and/or rat tails.

I need to find a way to go to this. Donations are accepted in cash/check/Paypal. Email me for details.
