I was a ProgPower virgin. Unfortunately I was too shy to go introducing myself to people, except the nice ones I talked to before they opened up the doors Friday for the general public.
I had such a great time though at the event. When I found out Epica was playing, that is when I decided to go. I hadn't heard much from the other bands, but was blown away by how good most of them were. I really loved Epica, Freak Kitchen, Pyramaze, Vision Divine, Evergrey and Thunderstone.
I definitely will go out and buy some of those cds I am missing.
I hope to go again next year, and maybe this time I will try to be more sociable. (And bring more money for the vending room. I learned quick that $100 cd budget wasn't gonna cut it)
