Let's Organize a Trip to Sweden Rock 2009

The videos are flying in from Sweden Rock 2008. I swear, I must go to this fest next year. I'm pretty sure if I don't go my life will be drastically incomplete. The lineup for this year's Sweden Rock was killer: Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Poison, Ratt, Airbourne...and that's just a few!


Here's Poison performing "I Want Action"



Here's Poison performing "Unskinny Bop"



Here's Def Leppard performing both "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Photograph." *The quality sort of sucks, but the pictures are good.



Ok, so you've watched the clips. I think we should organize a Bring Back Glam! excursion to Sweden Rock 2009 - and I'm being dead serious here. Sweden is not a cheap trip, especially for those of us coming from America. When I was pricing the trip a couple months or so ago, my calculations pretty much landed at five grand for a week for two people. Granted I don't camp -- the Glam mistress doesn't camp -- and my husband is a picky traveler, so maybe you could knock off a couple hundred bucks. Still, I'm dead serious about going next year and I think a Bring Back Glam! contingent would be oh-so-fabulous. Just think, you've got an entire year to save five thousand dollars: that's a little over $400 a month, or just over a hundred a week...Ok, so it's still a lot of money, but we're talking about the trip of a lifetime here. Maybe if there's enough of us, we can get a group rate?! Here's hoping...


Anyway, if you want to go, send me an email. I'll keep the messages in a separate folder, and maybe we can make plans a little bit closer to the event.

I bet it would be an amazing time. Getting the funds and permission from my wife, might not be so easy though!! :)

People, I went for the first time this year,2008 and it was phenomenal.Great people,bands and weather.

Don't forget when planning your spending money that a beer, yes one beer, will cost about $10!!! (Water is free though!)

I'm still going back next year,despite the high cost of Swedish living!

I am organizing to go to this very thing. I live in NZ. I have a friend in Sweden and also another one over there who will be going. Stayed in Sweden for 5 weeks couple of years back. Loved it.
Where the hell are you traveling from?
