Great we are all serious on this , i am looking foward to seeing this become a reality.. My contacts are working on it , as we spoke, we are all on board !! should be an interesting ride !! Maybe we can get Rad Dog into Africa also ,, that to would be very cool ..
peace everyone !! Dubia first ..
Desert RatDog .. is as serious as it should be at a time where everything else is becoming a joke! the question is what kind of budget they require? I personally do not have the slightest idea. I'm commited to contacting the local sponsors and organizers and intiate the event actual mainifistation once a budget is determined.
Peace.
Rat Dog in the desert is a posibility !! just need to know what kind of budget they have to work with .. I spoke to my brother inlaw on sunday ,. He called me like 4 hours later and told me his people can get Rat Dog. On Easter sunday he did this ! Hope evryone is serious about this .. It would be a wonderful thing to see it all come together ...I will send link and e-mail add. to Chris W. that`s my brother inlaw. Peace everyone !!!
it's ok, the posts are back suddenly. maybe some tech problem, fewww, thought i lost u my friend, i'm happy now :)
this is weird, i didn't hear anything about this festival, also the clock tickin at the top right corner indicates that there are 12 days left?! gotta call and find out tomorow what's up with that. hmm, even the ticket are section has no tickets :)-
oops, i missed it!! it was on march 7,8!! i did't even hear a word about it!!
anyway, the bands lineup indicates promising and positive signs.

I'll sign up for a partner and see where this will take me, pass it to the kid pls.
Yikes! It was actually supposed to be just a condensation of Ratdog in the Desert, not a suggestion for a new moniker, but if it works for you and you want to run with it, more power to you brother! Hopefully stuman's contact will pan out into something.
Anyway, they have a couple of sites, the official www.rat-dog.com, and (the I guess unofficial) www.ratdog.org.
If you can find a way to pull this together, then I'll have no excuse for not coming. I'll just have to take care not to step on any doobies on the way there!
Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

hmm ... it's a bit exaggerated i think but .. it's valid.
Locations
In Dubai right now and it is about 42 degrees C. Dubai is the center of trade in the Arabian Peninsula and has a rich mix of cultures and is very tolerant. Is Rat Dog really considering playing here? Interesting concept. I have not seen Rat Dog since SPAC 1993. Would be nice to see him again only this time i am going gray and he has a beard!!! Wow.
