I would have bought 50 tickets at the first rows at the Luna Park shows for 50 DTF users so we can enjoy it together, surprise the band and be on the DVD. Say a 5,000 budget for tickets.
I figure 50 would cover all my DTF friends and regulars + whoever they think should come, as long as they're passionate regulars not just in it for the free trip and concert.
Free trip? Yep, that's actually the expensive part, for those 50 people I would have bought plane tickets! a 70,000$ budget would probably do.  The Americas won't be a big deal and there are like 10 Europeans fellas here that I can think of.
Get there a week before the shows? Yeah.. I would have booked a motel near the venue, 4 people per room, not to save money but for forced socialization and festivities. I hope we can get like an entire floor with connecting doors or something. I reckon 5,000$ is enough for that.
We'd could probably get Nekov to find us a decent rate on a rent RV, actually we'd probably get him to find us the motel too, pretty much all Argentina planning would be on Nekov but financed by millionaire me. So another 5,000$ for a week of RV rental? Not bad.
We'll take the RV for ride and blast DT discography, loud sing along of an obnoxious DTF crowd roaming the streets of Argentina, you'll never find a nastier group of prog nerds.
One thing I'm not paying for are any cab fairs for individual sight seeing (if you wanna go off on your own).
bosk and admin will surely convey this gigantic undertaking to DT management and something tells me JP would wanna meet us and maybe the whole band with him.
90,000 the whole thing? Hell, I think about it and I figure it's worth 10 million dollars for how amazing it would be.

I would be lying if I said that this though didn't cross my mind at least a couple of times. Also, if I were a millionaire, I would probably tour Europe with them, enjoying a full month of DT shows!  :metal

As long as I'm one of the lucky ticket recipients, you betcha.  :biggrin:

Nekov

Ok, I'll do the planning and get you alcohol drinkers super wasted for very little money.

I'm not sure if I'm enough of a regular to be part of this, but I would surely and definitely join the thing should I be invited.
The question of course then is; where is the DTF millionaire who's going to pay for all this?  :P

That's definitely an exciting thought to tour with the band and see all the shows but to bring the DTFers together and have a week of fun, music and these discussions we have here in a real life setting, that tops it for me!

Nekov this is mostly not going to be an alcohol crowd if you know what I mean, so work on some bad connections. We need to chill and have deep conversations :lol

The image I got is of you taking a turn on driving the RV and looking at them through the over head mirror going "Don't make me pull over" :lol

I just got a different, more disturbing image:  Me waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, and glancing over to see you duct-taped and gagged in the corner with a terrified look on your face that says, "bosk, I tried to stop them--really I did," and then glancing back and seeing an angry DTF mob with torches and pitchforks surrounding my bed, and one of them saying in Darth Maul's voice, "now we shall have our revenge."

:rollin Daym! No, no I'm not taking people who're that angry heh. Obviously there'll have to be some coordination talks on who's coming but most of the people I have in mind get along together and with you just fine from what I see.
Also have this theory that our P/R are most probably very nice and well behaved in real life, even the angry ones.

Are you gonna be too critical of Argentinian pizza? Considering where you're flying from.

I am extremely liberal when it comes to judge foreign pizzas. They must not have pinapple slices, mayonnaise or other horrible stuff on them. If they do, I will burn them to ashes or die in the attempt. :charliedominici:

Nekov

We have those :P but you can always get the regular ones.

That would definitely be the most epic thing ever  :lol  :tup

Just think. If every member of DTF donated $20, we'd have enough money to do this.

I would buy the 50 tickets, fly there, watch the show, and then time travel to the beginning 49 more times and watch the show with myself with the extra tickets.

Nekov

I guess we know who's not gonna win the member tournament this year  :P

Let's all pool our money to buy a gigantic DTF blimp which will hover over an outdoor theater when DT is playing.

No offense, but that's not the most well-thought-out plan, since DT doesn't really play that many outdoor venues.

Put the blimp inside a venue. We'll all be quiet and pretend it's surprise decoration.

Shoot, why didn't I think of that?  That's a brilliant idea!
