Im feeling pretty sick about not getting to Germany this year. This week there's Blackmore, G3 with Satriani, Morse and Vai and the German Grand Prix....to top it off the Nurburgring is going into bankruptcy, who knows the future of tourist laps there???? Did a week of a very similar trip three years ago...kind of felt that was it and was fine with not going in 10 and 11, now this year I feel different. I just don't want to go 3000 grand and more in the hole to go on vacation

I love getting away to Germany, always feels more civilized than LA, people have manners (I actually have to re learn having to say hello and good morning to strangers Lol) and it's my favorite place in the whole world. I'm sure the Blackmore shows and the G3 will have even some kind of tributes after losing Jon Lord.
