Well, Josh Freese is hoping so. We thought the A Perfect Circle drummer offered some unique packages for 2009’s Since 1972. But Freese has officially outdone himself with the special deluxe packages for his new EP My New Friends.

These packages may be a bit pricy, but if we had the money we would totally purchase one of them for the chance to go to the spa with two A Perfect Circle members or take shrooms with Danny Carey. And it’s not too hard to believe that someone would shell out that kind of money for something like this. One 19 year old paid $20,000 last time around to go miniature golfing with Freese, meet a crap load of rock stars and have two songs recorded about him. Pretty expensive, but pretty awesome too considering Freese’s legacy.
So if you have a crap load of money and want to purchase one of these packages, go to Freese’s official website. If you do end up purchasing any of the above, let Metal Insider know so we can totally be jealous of you!
