Ahhh I looked and it makes sense. As long as I see NIN and Flogging Molly, I dont care which I go to. So Southside would also be fine

And I accepted you on ICQ as well, so we can talk and whatnot, if you are ever on.

I dont know much about German weather, but I want to try to avoid mud at these concerts the best I can.

When I went to the Warped Tour last year to see Bad Religion and Flogging Molly, it rained all day and was miserable. Also people flung a lot of trash and wet paper pulp into the air, so everyone was covered with mud and paper and condoms and all kinds of gross stuff. So washing is important .. the clothes I wore were totally ruined.

You are very helpful, thank you again and for making the effort to write in English. I am now ashamed, because so many people make such an effort to speak in English for me, I will try more to write in German.

I need the practice anyways. And I will see about this other place to camp, because I would like somewhere to wash up before I sleep, I do not like to sleep dirty. If it rains I am sure there will be a lot of mud, and therefore it will be useful to wash.

Thank you again I am so happy to meet so many nice people on here. I hope that all the ringrockers that can not speak or read English very well are also so nice.

Hrm .. so you are saying that it will cost me 200 euros .. for RAR huh? Before camping stuff? .. hrm .. I might not have as much money as I thought. That means that RAR will cost me around $265+ .. I will have to see .. I suppose then Hurricane will cost me about $250 as well.

Oh well I will see, thanks for the estimates on the costs. I am quite a cheap guy when need be, but I would prefer not to be.

Im glad that your tent hasnt been stolen either, I will take faith in that then.

And I meant that I intend to order a shirt off this website and wear it over here .. like .. soon. It would be funny to wear around an american Uni. However, I think that the postage might cost as much as the shirt if I want it shipped to America. :/

Edit: Bummer, seems that they wont ship it to America anyways. I have to say that the Zeltficker shirt just is funny as hell, if I came to class with that my german teacher would go

(angestrend = exhausting, tiring) I will be nice and add the english since yall are so nice adding the german.

Okay, so I have had a few more days to come up with questions, since everyone has been so nice to answer my questions, in English even

-Is it realistic for me to want to go to RAR and Hurricane on consecutive weekends? I have the time, I certainly have the money, as I am spending like $6000 to come to Geramny in the first place, who cares about another few hundred.

How much should I budget in for incidential expenses? I mean like water, food, beer, liquor, t-shirt.

(BTW I love the Ringrocker T-Shirts they are funny, I might get one for my german classes, see what they think.)

Anyhow, also I have decided that I will most likely be able to leave Bonn on Thursday evening. Hopefully I can find a way to get down there, Im not sure if any of my classmates at AIB will want to come, I only really want one to come anyhow . Regardless, I know Friday is too late to come, and Im not sure that I can make the round trip Wednesday night, how would you do that anyways? I mean do you claim your camping site then set up your tent and leave it? In america it would get stolen! Do you stay with it? Im confused.

However if people were going down to claim camping places early in the week, I might be able to go down then, as long as I made it back to Bonn in time for classes the next day ..

Thanks again for all the help, you are all such nice people, Americans if I asked the same on an internet forum would not be so nice, especially if I was asking in a foreign language, like German.

Slayer is what metal is .. though early Metallica didnt suck so bad.

Though the Scandanavians are pushing what metal is in several areas recently.

Feh .. Jerry Self is just milking the Misfits name and logos to death. Im not sure how it is in Germany, but over in the US, if some piece of plastic crap can have a Misfits logo plastered on it, and Jerry might make another nickle off it, he will.

Its real sad. The Misfits sucked without Glenn Danzig.

Bayern

Good news .. I think that I can make the NIN concert in Oberhausen .. Im not sure its worth going way up to there from Bonn and then 54 Euros for the concert though. I guess I will see .. but is the Area 4 festival okay?

How about the Hurricane Festival?

WHOA! Flogging Molly .. rad!

Hrm 106euros for RAR + 89 for Hurricane .. Im not so sure about that .. though Hurricane looks rad too .. Im not sure I could do both ... maybe we will see .. Flogging Molly is like my 3rd favorite band.

Viel Spass

Yes it is called a sleepingbag .. thank you for the responses again.

Bummer .. that would be rad to see NIN as well as RAR. My schedule doesnt look like I will make it tho

Okay.

Ich plante bei der Ankunft zum Konzert am Freitag, wie ich einen Tag von Klassen werde auslassen müssen, ist es eine schlechte Idee, das spät zu kommen? Ich sehe viele Menschen sagen, dass sie am Mittwoch oder am Donnerstag ankommen werden.

Edit:

I suppose that will depend on who I meet between now and when I go to the concert and stuff anyhow. But advise away anyhow.

Ah thank both of you.

I did not know that this concert would not be sold out. In America it would sell out in maybe 2 or 3 days most likely.

I went to a George Strait (country) concert in Texas Stadium (80.000 seats) and it sold out in 8 minutes.

I will just wait until I get to Bonn then to worry about all of this. However I am happy to be talking to Germans and gaining contacts over in Europe, I want to have a very fun summer.

Well Rebecca answered most of my questions, and it is still a long time until the concert.

Davor welches Datum sollte man Karten kaufen?

I need to figure out how Im going to get tickets over to america .. I looked at

www.eventim.de/cgi-bin/TINFO.DLL?fun=TDetailB&id=EVE029491109752896F&doc=funktion/fun_deb_sta&key=139419$222463

But I dont think that website will allow me to send tickets to america. But then again the website has a lot of german that I cant read

I also thank everyone that posted in English I will keep working on my German for everyone, maybe if people live near Bonn I can party with you hehe.

I will visit more later it is time to sleep.

Thanks .. I use "sie" because erm .. we are taught to in gymnasium and uni .. unless asked not to. We are taught old fashioned german tradition in america.

Auch, was ist das Unterschied zwischen Rock am Ring und Rock im Park?

I verstehe dass, RAR ist in Eifel und RIP is in Nuernberg? ja? Aber das ganze Band-Spiel an beiden Konzerten? Das ist das, was ich nicht verstehe.

Also of course if you wish to respond in English it would make it easier for me to understand, however I will do my best to understand German responses. It took me a long time to make that post

Ich studiere an der Universitaet Texas A&M, in College Station, Texas. Mein Hauptfach ist Elektrotechnik und meine Nebenfaecher sind Germanistik und Mathematik.

In case you were wondering.

Ich kann nur ein bisschen Deutsch schreiben aber werde Ich versuchen.

Hallo! Ich werde in diesem Sommer fuer eine Studie im Ausland Reise nach Deutschland kommen. Ich werde in Bonn wohnen 21. Mai bis 26. Juni, um Germanistik zu studieren.

Während ich dort bin, plane ich mich zu kümmern "Rock am Ring." Ich hörte über dieses Konzert im letzten Jahr, weil Bad Religion (mein Lieblingsband) daran spielte, und seitdem ich dabei war, in Deutschland zu sein, Ich es nicht verpassen würde.

Ich dachte, dass da ich naher von Eifel in Bonn sein werde, sollte das für mich leicht sein hierher zu kommen. Jetzt sind alles, was ich tun muss, Fund, wo ich zeltenden Sachen in Deutschland kaufen werde.

Hallo wieder, und tun irgendwelcher von Ihnen hat irgendwelche Vorschläge für einen Ausländer?
