Awesome! Also means I'll get to meet my good friend Martin again :) Good stuff!

So it turns out my way of preparing for PP is not to come :( I had to sell my ticket... but I do have a good reason. Work is sending me to LA, where I'll be at the WCG Grand Finals for our game. Which is pretty amazing too. Just the timing couldn't have been worse. I can't believe I'm missing...

Yep! Count me in too for WAY TOO MUCH Chinese food. Buffets are the devil's work; you always feel like you could eat a little more because it's FREE ANYWAY. And then you explode.

I may just need some more time to get into Klone. It didn't do much for me yet. Leprous, however, are pretty much the band of the festival for me. So I'll be jizzing my pants all through that gig. I have no idea actually when I'll be arriving yet; it probably depends on whether or not I rent...

So it turns out that Friday tends to be the best day for after-festival festivities, given that there's only three bands playing (and only one's really good *coughcough*), so I was wondering if people have favourite places to go to before/after the gigs for some drinks. Last time I was there...

Chinese socks? But they're trying to cut off our blood circulation! Or was that Vietnamnese?

Bit on the boring side for me, but hey, that means more time for beer! Or maybe they'll be much better after a lot of beer! (Don't get me wrong, Mercenary make great Heavy Metal--they're what In Flames should have become when they chose to go for Britpop instead. It's just a little light on the...

Judging by the three songs on their webpage, these guys are actually good! Looking forward to discovering great new stuff at PP again :D

Did we mention that this is also a lottery whose winner gets to be asked embarassing, private questions by me? Nah, just kidding. YOU'RE ALL WINNERS!

Wow, am I ever late to this party. In my opinion, both gigs were amazing. I loved the old stuff since I had seen Wolverine perform in 2001 (and absolutely loved them back then already), and His Cold Touch just has an insane energy... but the gig with the more recent material was just so, so much...

Fun. So I'll finally meet Oganalp. Interesting way to meet. The lineup so far is a bit too powermetalish for me. Remember the prog part in progpower!

Which might be the problem, and an interesting question to boot: are there bands that are "too big" for ProgPower? As in, if Rene books Band XY (Sym X, DT, Opeth, whatever) there will be Problems (the festival being booked out too soon, the venue being too small, the elitists being too...
