ProgPower IX

[Saladbar]

Got my ticket yesterday and there's less than 150 left. Are all the usual Chicago peeps going to be there this year?
This will be my first year, really looking forward seeing Spheric Universe Experience, Serenity, Andromeda and of course Iced Earth. The Gamma Ray, Helloween show is a bonus, I'm hoping that tour hits Chicago as well.

[PowerMetalNerd]

You know I'll be there.
Glad to hear you'll be partying with us this year!

 

[Diabolik]

I am all about Heathen Crusade this year.

 

[booB]

I'll be there. I've been to every ProgPower USA and Chicago Powerfest.

 

[Jasonic]

Not me, though I do like the direction they are going in booking bands like Elvenking and Amorphis.

Should be a good time. As always, I eagerly await everyone's review of the fest.

 

[Heavenly Call]

Definitely going! Would be damn near sinful to NOT go being just 35 minutes south of Atlanta! All hail Rob Rock, Elvenking, Iron Saviour, Helloween, and Gamma Ray!

Foh sheezy!!

 

[Jasonic]

Foh sheezy!!

You know, I really think you are a good guy, but I seriously HATE when you use words like "sheezy"

 

[rms]

Not going, not enough good bands but I hope it sells out and all the band slay.

I just think its funny because I am one of the whitest guys ever. I have a lot of friends that like rap and they always tell me that I dont any "soul" and I always just tell them I sold to it the Devil in the name of metal.

I'm going - anyone need a room?

Depends, what do you look like big boy????????

 

[KaptainKrude]

I'm going... using someone else's gold badge once again... I'd rather give the money to Glenn than to TicketBastard... so yeah. Skipping Ramma Gay and Helloween though... flying in Friday and leaving Sunday. The IE set should be cool, but Amorphis and Riverside are the biggest draws for me.

 

[Jasonic]

Skipping Ramma Gay and Helloween though...

 

[ShadowLioness]

Most people who know me know that I'm not going. I'd only be interested in Riverside and Amorphis. I honestly cannot justify a trip like that for two bands.

That fest in general just isn't for me, but as always I wish nothing but the best to those that attend.

 

[TX Metal Cowboy]

I'm opting out for Chicago instead. This will be my first time this year! I love Amorphis but I couldn't justify the $117 times two for my wife and I. IE and Testament on the same fest is a rarity I couldn't pass up!!

 

[The_Q]

Fo Shizzle my dizzle!!! Hey Jose, what Saturday do you plan to come by Impulse? We gotta meet man!!!

 

[Mountain King]

We're pretty much in the same boat, about the only thing that will make me change my mind on the show is if Jon Oliva tours the US. After a good run I'm honestly burned out on progpower, the experience just wasn't the same the last time I was there as the previous years.

Fo Shizzle my dizzle!!!

Don't make me come over there!!!
(Actually, I need to soon, to pick up P'Fest tix)
