I guess the Michigan/Ohio scene should do their best to blow this up and attend.  Try to atleast double the attendance of Season's Beatings...

Either way atleast try to inform people about the new release in a couple weeks after this.  If you can't goto NEC, I think doing that can help out a little bit.  It's gonna take a little time to grow midwest scene out a bit, since it's by far the most lacking for melty in America.

PBJ are you heading back to this one again?  Might be a great time to go again, and KC has been getting pretty hyped more and more lately these days!

You gotta come out Pete!  We're going to have crazy numbers and plenty of side stations (ahem:  Melty?).
