No. There are several Jewish fans, crew members, and vendors that would not be able to attend due to certain holiday restrictions. It is not an Orphaned Land hint.

I love the date! Easier to get vacation time off work. Also, I hope it'll be a little cooler because standing in line in the sun in a black t-shirt is brutal.

Yay! Hotel room is booked for the Granada!
:Smokin:
I can't believe there were only single King bed suites by the time I booked yesterday afternoon. But now I'm seeing some people say that they were only at 60% capacity? I don't understand it (or the various prices I've seen folks post for the exact same types of rooms), but I'm glad I got our room booked early. Can't wait to see everyone on the porch again this year. I hope it will still be warm enough to party there in October.
I just called them a 8pm and they say they sold out. I'm bummed.
after stayin' there the last two years, and hangin' on the porch. But, alas... I have a suite at the Residence Inn. $189 with a kitchen, I'll take that.

No need to be bummed... I've been going to ProgPower since 2001, and I've never stayed at the Granada... but have hung out on the porch many times!

Thanks
I gotta say, my boss cheered when I told her the date. I'd wrested from her the concession that I attend ProgPower regardless of when it is and she wasn't happy but she agreed to it. I work in academia as staff and this year's (2006) ProgPower date fell during the first two weeks of classes. This is a traditionally busy time.
I said "Guess what! My concert has a different date!" "end of September?!" she asked, excitedly. "Better! Beginning of October" and she pretty much did a happy dance. I'm considering asking for the whole week off this coming year, but she doesn't want my time off request until July 2007. *shrug*
Anyway. Yay.
Now, to plan our May trip to DC!

Rosh Hashannah has fallen on PPUSA weekend before (PP6, iirc) Yom Kippur has not. Hmmmmm.

That's it! We've got to start checking I.D. !No need to be bummed... I've been going to ProgPower since 2001, and I've never stayed at the Granada... but have hung out on the porch many times!
JK, all are welcome on the porch Just make sure you have a stagger buddy or can find a spot of carpet somewhere as these little gatherings tend to run late. :zombie:

Nobody in this world or the next would want to see me in any kind of corset. (But I'd be willing to wear one if the right lady asked...)

Thanks for the info. I have a few free days with Hampton on my Hilton Honors account - so it woulda been nice to have em open. Ill keep my eye out - maybe they'll open back up before Oct.

I think it'll be fine for us Canadians going down...right now we have snow on the ground, and it's still warm enough for me to go around in a t-shirt comfortably. What's considered cold down there is probably uncomfortably hot for me.

I called and was told that the location would not be re-openning as a Hampton Inn. The hotel has "left the brand". The guy I talked to didn't know much else. Interesting. I wonder what it'll open as... and I wonder if it'll open in time for PPVIII
