Really? Bill seems more like a Di'anno fan, what with the sexual deviance and whatnot.

E-mail him back and ask him about offdates in Lawrence or KC.

Also tell him to put some more fucking pop punk on Warped

It won't be playing there.. wish we could make it work.. but the promoter in the market is worried about the draw and last year was a big money loser.. It is tricky to make these tours work

On the dates on your website it says more to be announced. Is it possible that bonner springs could still happen. I mean there is no Mayhem within 8 hours!!! You guys got to have a mayhem in Missouri/Kansas

Unless his email address is publicly available, it's not cool to share it with the world.

I came up from Austin hoping to meet you at the Metal Blade tent last year. Does that count?

A Google search of the email address reveals that it's been online since 2008.

The attendance at my show last year wasn't too great. The last section in the reserved area was mostly empty and the lawn was maybe a quarter full if that. Just like all tours, in some areas it draws well and others it doesn't. I guess if one area doesn't draw well it's made up for by the ones that do. Still, with how big of a production this tour is, it must suck to lose money on any of the dates.

Lyman tweets his email address for entire public to see on twitter a few times a week. He usually answers most questions within a day or two.

Miss May I bassist Ryan Neff confirms on his facebook that they are not on this. In response to a fan asking, he states "wish we were, but we are not unfortunately."

Its funny you mention that because at a seminar from 2012 concering Warped tour 2011 Lyman said only 6 shows made a profit & that without corporate sponsors the tour wouldn't exist. I think its safe to say Warped is more of a $ maker than Mayhem Fest. The way the tour market is getting oversaturated with bands constantly touring in a bad economy I think alot more fans are skipping these festival tours and seeing their favorite bands headline instead. It makes me wonder if these festival tours won't be eventually replaced with high dollar destination festivals marketed towards certain genres, like Carolina Rebellion, Lollapalooza, Ozzfest in Texas, etc. I bet 10 years from now Warped will be a destination festival and there will be one for the most popular genres in place of traveling festivals.
