That's actually really cool! I love wearing "out of place" band tees (or just tees from lesser known bands) to bigger concerts just to see what other fans with diverse tastes that I might meet. It's cool when others do the same. I've met some interesting people and made some new friends that way.

Have to agree with the general sentiment here. A blue shirt would be great for next year! I also like the idea of a steel blue or lighter blue shirt like some folks have mentioned, since there was already a dark blue ProgPower shirt for ProgPower XI.

Fixed. ;) Also, I didn't see anyone else mention Springsteen on this thread. Who's the other fan besides me (and gilpdawg)? Despite just entering my 30s, Springsteen truly is my favorite artist of all time. Been a fan since I was 5 years old and he was the first large arena concert I ever saw...

Been a ProgPower attendee since 2004 ... 11 years in a row! Gold Badge holder for 8 years since ProgPower VIII in 2007. The first year Nick (DemonOfTheWoods) and I attended, we were not in the doors of Center Stage 30 minutes and I remember looking at him and saying, "We are doing this every...

Favorite Band/Artist: Bruce Springsteen Favorite Metal Band/Artist, overall: Doro Favorite Power Metal Band/Artist: Dio Favorite Progressive Metal Band/Artist: Devin Townsend or Dream Theater

I am really late with this (but hopefully not too late), since I'm rarely on this forum anymore these days. I'm re-using my forum poster photo from the last two years. I can't find Nick's old photo, but if you still have it, Ann Marie, please use Nick's (DemonOfTheWoods') previous forum poster...

Congratulations!

I'm rarely on here anymore so I almost forgot about submitting our photos, but since Nick posts pretty frequently I figured I should post these. Didn't have time to make new ones, so the ones from last year will have to do I suppose. As always, thanks for putting this together, Ann Marie!

Thanks for sharing this! Right up my alley! Been awhile since I've heard something new (or at least new to me) online that really caught my ear and made me want to check out a band further. I plan to do some digging and further listening on this one!

I remember talking to Ripper about this on Saturday. He was really adamant about wanting to get the vest back to it's owner. I remember him saying that the large back patch on the back of the vest was signed so I'm sure it must be very personal/important to it's owner. I hope whoever owns it...

So many great photos! Thanks for sharing them! I'm really enjoying looking through all the photos other folks are posting here and on FB since I accidentally left my camera on a table in The Courtyard while saying our goodbyes on Sunday. :erk: Still waiting for The Artmore to FedEx it back to...

ASoT is supporting the show at Empire. Perfect bill for them like you said. Looks like I'll be catching this tour both there and at Baltimore Soundstage. Hoping that Soundstage gets an opener that is just as good and well-suited for this bill! I'm also super excited to see Sister Sin on this...

Isn't Jon Drenning from Crimson Glory a BioChemist or something like that? Thought I had heard something like that a couple years ago. (Perhaps Danaë Drenning can confirm/clarify if she see's this thread.)

I'm interested to see which other ProgPower musician's occupations might pop up in this thread. A friend of mine and I were having a discussion this weekend (I think on Thursday) related to this. He was saying how he thought that at least several of the bands playing ProgPower were probably...

I think that was the one song in their set that Nick (DemonoftheWoods) and I did not know. Lol! Was sitting here with him while typing up that set list and we both knew there was another song in there that we were not familiar with, somewhere around the second half of the set I think. (We forgot...
