Not as much of a haul this year – there were a few things I was hoping to get, but they were sold out. Also, I was hoping that there might be some advance copies of the 7th Wonder DVD, but no luck. Also, I didn’t spend as much time browsing, due to not wanting to leave my seat open for too...

Herman (I think) from Dragonforce. “It was an hour song, but we play it fast, so it’s down to 10 minutes”. Anneke was a virtual highlight reel… When the house lights came on before her GB/VIP encore and about half the folks left: “Oh, no! It’s a game! I say it’s over, and you say you want...

This trailer cracked me up - especially the last few seconds...

Our elected officials obviously don’t care if some musician from outside of the country can make a living. Nor do they care about the sense of community experienced by those to have a passion for our kind of music. However, they MIGHT care that a vibrant and diverse arts scene helps makes...

Haven't seen a thread yet for this year, so thought I would get it started! Arriving Wednesday on Delta #671 from PHX at 4:42p. I am cutting the time closer than usual (Southwest eliminated the direct flight I used to take and US Airways was more expensive), but I won't be checking a bag, so...

Was anyone else in Nashville, TN in the early 1990s? I’m planning a work trip there this spring, which started me on a stroll down memory lane. There were a ton of hard rock and metal bands playing original music. I’ve put together a playlist with some old footage from YouTube, but I know...

@$%*!!!!!! Think I have it. :mad: Although not sure if it came from the fest or from the coughing kid that was next to me on the 4-hour flight from ATL to PHX.

Just saw this in an e-newsletter on cruising. Some of the tips might work for Post-PP Depression as well. :) http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=1655

I actually spent less time and $$ in the vendor room than usual this year….in large part from trying to be respectful about the seat-saving issue. I made a couple of targeted trips looking for very specific things, and also asked Lance for recommendations (which are always great). In the...

I’m not sure of the reason for the ban on outside food – it doesn’t appear to be a $$$ decision on the part of the venue, since they don’t normally serve food at other shows. Would it work to let people bring in food from outside restaurants say, after 5 p.m. (to avoid the rush when people...

The do-over at the beginning really put me off. Pulling a stunt like that when the show is already an hour behind schedule - and you are NOT the headliner? Seriously? So the band wanted to start the show with the curtains closed, smoke, and a high energy entrance. Great. But the time to...

I'm old and forgetful, so figured I'd better post this now. :) Started talking to a lady in the elevator at the hotel. She asked if I was here for the music festival and I said yes. I asked if she was, and was surprised the answer was no. She lives in ATL, but she was staying at the hotel...

Hi all - It's time to revive our old Forum Member lunch! Diamond45 and I will be organizing a lunch on Thursday, Sept. 11th at Front Page News at 1104 Crescent Ave. NE at 1:00 p.m.. (This is hopefully late enough to avoid the lunch rush, but early enough to get our VIPs to the Showcase on...

Looking for a healthy meal to cancel out your other ProgPower vice(s) of choice? True Food Kitchen has opened up a restaurant in Atlanta - looks like it's just off the Buckhead MARTA stop: http://www.accessatlanta.com/news/entertainment/dining/first-look-true-food-kitchen-buckhead/ngbCr/...

Was doing some Christmas shopping online for my nephew on Amazon and ran across the Rockabye Baby store, which I'd never heard of: http://www.rockabyebabymusic.com/ Hilarious! I ended up buying CDs with music from Def Leppard, Metallica, Queen, and AC/DC. Was also tempted by the ones...

The other thread seemed to be more of a general discussion of the amount of $$ spent, so I thought I would start a new one. Feel free to combine if needed! My haul… Illusion Suite – The Iron Cemetery Wolverine – Communication Lost James LaBrie – Impermanent Resonance Circle II Circle –...

Wow, didn't realize this was 10 years ago. And I never really stopped to think of the impact on the survivors of this tragedy... :cry: http://www.providencejournal.com/topics/special-reports/station-fire/

Wow, really surprised there isn’t already a thread up for the Jon Oliva workshop. This is my 7th year attending the festival. Every year, I see some bands I like…some bands I love…some bands I don’t care for, and some bands who earn my respect for putting on a kick ass show, even though...

Midtown Atlanta has received some nice press this week as the new site of the Men's BB&T Atlanta Open: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/sports/tennis/atlanta-gives-tennis-the-uptown-treatment.html Apparently, the two show courts are only temporary, but the three practice courts will be...

Our bags are heavier, and our wallets are lighter…time for the annual merchandise haul thread! I was trying to watch my $$$, but did manage to make a few great scores… Pre-ordered PPXII DVD Vanden Plas t-shirt (Seraphic Clockwork) Lanfear – X to the Power of Ten Mystic Prophecy –...
