Before I go into my annual self-imposed exile for a couple of months, I wanted to leave you with a few notes:
*Thanks to all my crew for everything.
*The ProgPower USA X video will be on the website within a day or two. The overall website will be updated slowly over the next few weeks. Wayne Joyner did a hell of a job with it.
*The date will not be announced until Nov/Dec. I need time to get all of my stuff booked first.
*Astral Doors and I simply weren't able to come to an agreement for an appearance next year. It's as simple as that.
*I appreciate the kind words from everyone regarding this year's event. Constructive critcism will be noted and looked at.
*The theme for PP USA X, is indeed a split night: new blood, returning heros, and the legendary.
*I will not be addressing those who are disappointed in next year's roster. There will always be a vocal minority who are not satisified because I didn't book their favorite band, they don't know all the bands, their musical tastes are moving in a different direction that the fest, they wanted all new bands, they wanted all returning bands, there is not enough power, there is not enough prog, the oddball was not very unexpected and thus not an oddball
, the list goes on and on. I could debate the merits of each band's invitation/slot based on prior successs, artistic merit, current buzz, and history. However, it would be like talking to the wall in some situations.
*Sponsors will be announced once Deron has the website ready.
*I will follow-up any complaints or posts that I feel are unfair to me or my crew.
Otherwise, thank you and good-night.
