So, in the nature of everyone else's rants of praise, disappointment, debauchery and wallet-disgorging, I shall continue-- I had low expectations for this weekend. Not because of anything like the bands, the venue, etc... but because I tend to always over-plan things, and in the end it works...

I've often thought to ask this, but for some reason shied away. There are those songs out there that no matter what genre they claim to belong to, are just damned good, if not just damned metal. Therefore, I wonder if anybody has ever done or heard a cover of Charlie Daniel's Band - The...

Hey all, I'm on travel this week to Annapolis, and I know NOTHING about this area! If anybody is familiar with the area, I could really use some advice on what to do whilst here! I know there's more of a metal scene here than there is in freakin' Iowa, so if anybody knows of any Metal shops...

Well, I guess it's a bit more specific than just any apparel... I want to find a baseball cap that's metal related. Either a band I like (which I know none of you can read my mind... I hope), or something like a Heavy Metal logo (like the one from the movie/magazine). I've tried some...

DO NOT READ if you're prone to offense. I don't seek to flame or be flamed, just something I think about. So my mind works in strange logistics and I spend a lot of time thinking in taboo. More and more things "corporate" just irk me to no end. I was able to avoid most of it in school, but...

I'm trying to figure out what this trip is going to cost me, and with a fuel inefficient vehicle, every last extorted penny hurts :erk: Here (Cedar Rapids, IA) it's running about 2.479/gal, which I gather is probably on the lower end of the national spectrum. I have come up with a simple...

Which hotel(s) does everybody plan on staying? I realize they've set up a "powerfest rate" at one of them, but which are going to be best for teaming up with other fest goers? Also (without calculating it on google maps), does anyone know which is the closest to the venue? What about safest...

Can anybody advsise on some good places to get band tshirts? So far I've searched most of the typical sites selections, like Century Media, The End Records, and the other vendors that were at PP, as well as ebay, but they all don't really have a lot (at least not a lot of newer stuff). The...

Bootlegging at PPXXXV A short satyrical essay on an inevitable reality. Person A: "Dude, progpower was fantabulous this weekend." Person B: "I know it, man! Can you believe they freakin' cloned Ronnie James Dio just to headline the show? That was well worth breaking the international...

As another fantastic year of ProgPower comes to a close, I constantly strive to tweak out the experience. I've attempted to plan out the best possible way for things to go down, and naturally some things fail, some things work out much better. I have compiled a list of DO's and DONT's from...

Hey alls you alls! I was wondering/hoping to obtain some information about the pre-party shows. As in, who to contact about possibilities and such. I know a band that I think would be supremely prime for the pre-party show. If anybody has heard of them: Sons of Poseidon. They have been...

Ok, I've got to ask this and see if anyone else has had this "revelation" This is probably a long post, because I'm long winded. (which is undoubtedly a side effect of the need for concise information in engineering :B ) For all of you out there who aren't into or haven't heard Manticora...

Hello to all you metalheads! This was my first attendance at a ProgPower fest. As well as my first time in Atlanta, my first time in a city significantly larger than 100K (barring minneapolis, because I only drive through there), my first time OUT of the midwest even... :OMG: and my first...
