    Prog Power Luncheon: Friday Sept. 11 @ 1pm

    I'm doing the lunch thing again this year. I'm moving it to Friday, unless enough people bitch and want it on Saturday. Every year, about 20-30 of you show for this. So, I'll just plan for that again. Kelley (metaloperachick) and I will be going. I know Chris Rifkin (The Halcyon F5bot)...

    Official Cheap Bastards: Time to Purchase Your Tickets Thread

    I withheld puting over 200 dollars on my credit card for as long as possible this year to keep a little more cash flow going (as a lot of uneasy people are doing this year because of the uncertain job situations, cuts in benefits/pay, etc.) But it's time to bite the bullet and get it over with...

    Who's up for some Cross Dressing Metro Sexually Confused Prog/Power Metal?

    Tammy got me into these guys. Yes, that's a guy in that photo by the way. :) Their music reminds me of Angra, Rhapsody, Symphony X, and Labyrinth. The vocals take some getting used to... but the choruses are phenomenal. The song "The Love from a Dead Orchestra" reminds me of one of my...

    When will some bands start being announced?

    This festival is only 4 months away (and February is a short month). Are we looking at band announcements in March or April... or when? The Michael

    Since its almost December and we've all heard most of everything...

    Post your favorite album of 2007 and a few comments as to why you chose that over all the others. Try and limit your post to one album you chose as your favorite and an analysis of why. If you haven't heard everything that came out this year, that's cool... I haven't either. But you've...

    Anybody have any advice on working with women?

    Outside the work place I get along just fine. That's a completely different animal for me. In the work environment, as a manager, I'm trying to strike that balance between keeping a friendly, encouraging and supportive rapport yet professional and impersonal. Some of the women want to bond...

    So is BAR Fest '08 going down or what?

    Is BAR Fest going down in '08 or what? If so, what month? I want to know so I can make plans and start saving, getting my vacation time ready. Because I am SO there next year :-) If you dudes are going ahead with it, please see if you can arrange a discounted rate for hotels or something...

    Anyone think it'd be a fun idea to start an Prog/Power award ceremony?

    Like top albums of the year within the UM metal community? I'm not sure what the best way to go about it would be, but it'd be fun to get everybody's opinion and have a definative top 20 releases for 2007. I'm sure it'd also help Glenn guage opinions on an annual basis and see what people...

    Which of you bots will be at Therion in Mokena, IL tomorrow?

    Sadly, I'm going by myself. I know Yips and Yardley will be there (watch out! :lol:). But if you notice me, be sure to say hi. I'll be very lonely :) I'll be wearing black slacks and a collared long sleeve striped shirt with navy, purple, and light blue. I also have long brown hair that...

    Where are the General Festival Reviews? *Post yours here!*

    Want to read how Mattias from Freak Kitchen violated me sexually? Read further to find out... Most posts I'm reading are about individual bands or specific things about the fest. I figured I'd do a recap of my thoughts for all to read :). Included are opinions on hotels and other...

    Someone please confirm this rumor for me...

    Is Angra no more? I heard about it from a PP guy at the airport. Someone say it ain't so. :ill: I couldn't find any info on the net. I'd like to hear someone in the know, like Glenn, confirm it for me. Thanks, The Miichael

    Question: anyone know when PP IX will be?

    as in the dates for next year. If the exact date is not know, that's fine. Are we talking late September or early October next year? Late September is better :)

    A Prog Power Kodak Moment...

    Where the mystery of Secret Sphere(s) was solved.... behind the zebra, as exposed in this "look at my nuts" shot. Some looks are so great, shoes aren't required. Why draw attention away from the ankle bracelet? Notice the red see-through shirt, heart pendant, dog collar, and tight black...

    Has everyone/anyone seen the new Therion video?

    As mentioned earlier, I am completely blown away by the new album! Musicians that can meld complex pieces of music with a variety of infectious hooks are what its all about. And this song, "Son of the Staves of Time" is parcticularly amazing... although the imagery in the actual video is...

    Edguy in Mokena, IL

    I arrived around 9pm, in plenty of time for Edguy :). How could I have missed the rest of the bands on tour with them? Funny you should ask (lets pretend you did)... Today I went to a meeting for work in the morning, hosted my nephew's birthday party at my house, drove my grandma home, and...

    Anybody else been asked if the Prog in Prog Power means Prague?

    Sometimes I wish Glenn came up with a less cheesy name for his brand than "Prog Power", but I suppose its simple, catchy, descriptive... and definately better than Glennfest or something. A lot of brands sound cheesy when you hear them the first time, but after so long, you get used to it and...
