That is awesome. Good luck to you. I ran one 2 years ago and when you cross the finish line, it feels amazing. I limped for 2 weeks because my knees hurt so bad, but the rush lasted for months. Keep with it and you'll do great.

This was my first ProgPower. Had a great time and enjoyed meeting some great people. The music was awesome. I have to admit that Halcyon Way blew me away. I had never heard them before the show and they made a huge impression on me. They also introduced me to the PP concept of musician...

I totally missed getting the Book and CD. I managed to get one of the guys checking the hand stamps to get me a book. But I missed the CD. When did they give those out?

Just got back from the showcase. Freak Kitchen kicked ass. awesome show. Now it is time for bed. I 've been up since 3am. Tomorrow is going to rock. I hope to see everyone there.

Thanks to everyone for posting all of this info. This will be my first ProgPower, and am really getting pumped. I was getting a little worried that going solo would be boring, or intimidating. But based on the info in this thread, it sounds that it will be completely the opposite. I'm looking...

I'm arriving on Delta at 10 am on Thursday. Just in time to shop for supplies for the weekend.

32 :kickass:

Yeah, my tickets came yesterday. Now I need a place where I won't lose them. 6 and a half months seems sooooo far away.

Finally just picked up my ticket. :rock:

I first heard of ProgPower back in 04, because of Pain of Salvation. By that time, it was too late for me to get a ticket. Then in 05, my wife was pregnant with our second child, so I didn't have the time or the money. For 06, I just forgot, taking care of an infant and a 2 year old will do that...

I've been planning to go since 03, but this is the first time I don't have other responsibilities. So, yes, I am a first timer. :rock:

My 2 daughters have a nasty stomach virus :Puke: , but I still got mine at 10 am sharp.

I have a room reserved at the Midtown Marriott. And just in case I realize that I can't afford the Marriott, I also have a room at the Super 8. No flight tickets yet, waiting for the right price.

My wife and I were watching it about 3 weeks ago, and one of the contestants had a "rocker" voice. Kind of sounded like Nickelback. But the judges were just turned off by it. They are looking for pop, R&b, and maybe contemporary country. Artists like Bo Bice, had a rocker image, but they didn't...

I've always liked it. I am not a big fan of some of the bands that do live albums with the orchestra (Except for Dream Theater's last live CD, that one was awesome). But I love the way Dimmu Borgir or Nightwish do it. It sounds so full.
