I'll admit I was a bit bummed to say good bye to some awesome friends I met there. But in the end, I got this huge stack of CDs to listen to, but surprisingly, I was actually familier with nearly all the bands announced (only two that I had a "who?" response - Riverside and Volbeat). That lineup as it is, has me already stoked for next year.
Also, granted, it may not be the same as ProgPower, but it is nice to have Jaxx literally right up the street from my place - can get there within 1/2 hour leaving straight from work (like tonight). I've been to enough shows at that place that I am almost guaranteed that I'll find somebody that I know that I can hang out with (including Jay, the owner of the place!), not to mention it seems like I meet somebody else new every time I go there. Kinda majorly bummed that I'll miss After Forever this upcoming Saturday due to prior commitments this weekend, though. I thought they kicked ass at ProgPower and would to love to see them again in a more intimate setting like at Jaxx. Oh well, looking forward to celebrating my b-day with Therion, however!
