All I need to some sober people to hang out with and I am good to go

You're welcome! I'm sure. While I've been spared the gene that makes that first drink so dangerous, I haven't been spared by its effects on my life and my children's. I have seen the hold that alcohol can have on people and the damage it can do and its pretty scary...

Hey Rick! Good to see you here. You going to both ProgPowerUSA and BARFEST this year?

Hey Eric!

Thanks! Unfortunately, at this time, it looks like the answer is no. As I was telling Keith [Sharward] the other day, I won't be able to make it to BAR Fest this year. A good friend is getting married on Friday and we have a band practice scheduled for the next day. The practice wouldn't be such a big deal but it is already so difficult for us to get together and summer is only worse, so bowing out of that isn't an option. We have a mini east cost tour with Suspyre and another band in the beginning of August and July is not looking good for us getting together for practice right now so every practice beforehand is more important than normal.

I'd LOVE to see LTE, ZH, and Suncaged too, so this really sucks. God help me if Enchant makes a return appearance too! That would absolutely kill me! I can't wait to see what the rest of the lineup will be.
