Eww Hinder? Thats just gross.

I'm actually off that entire weekend. I thought about using my George Bush Reparations money to take a trip, but I'm not sure yet.

Yes, ewww to Hinder.

Matt, if you went, I would make much more of an effort to go.

[xjsb125]

The flights would cost me around $670. Long run I'd spend about $800 probably. I've spent more than that to see OLP play before, but I also got to see Seattle and see them play the 3 opening nights of their 2006 tour. If I decide to go, I'll let you know.
