ssar 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Never have done it cuz it's so expensive, and to make a bit of a trip of it involves too much organization & sacrifice. Have been very tempted to do so for Metallica on a few occasions tho! Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 @ spook CB that bites! Tell them you are in the wedding party as one of the best men, and that it would be culturally insensitive to have to pull out now. I used that one once Link to post Share on other sites

Call In Sick Service provides clients with a cast-iron sickness alibis. We would call a place of your work for you and pretend to be your doctor /dentist or a spouse, etc. and tell your boss that you can’t come in. So you will not have to fake it on the phone!

I saw them after in Osaka where they played for more than two hours. Great outdoor concert after one of the hottest days of the SummerSonic festival. Tool also played last year's BDO, didn't they?
