    ProgPower 2011 - The good and bad

    The good: - No Kalle, Jari and Kenneth for a whole 4 days! The bad: - I missed PP 2011 :( I'm very sorry to have missed this year. You guys are a wonderful group of people that I truly miss seeing in the autumn. It somehow feels like the autumn can't begin until I've had a few big whiffs of...

    Thank you all!!

    I keep forgetting to mention this, so I'll stick it here: The wrist bands were an improvement over paper tickets - I rarely misplace my wrist, but am prone to losing papers ;) The CD sized paper program was also great. Perfect for sticking in a back pocket and not losing. Opening the...

    PP 2011 I'm listening to...

    Shadow Gallery - Say Goodbye to the Morning What are you listening to to get in the spirit of PP 2011? :wave: (Edited so there's distinction between 2010 and 2011)

    Tsk, tsk! Still posting in the 2010 topic? We need a PP 2011 listening to topic!

    Favourite shows of the weekend

    That's because you were still staring at the belly dancer and forgot to listen to the rest of the show, Marcel ;) Sacrum's stage show was one I won't forget any time soon. I did greatly enjoy the irony of the song after the "suicide" - "Keeping Me Alive" :D

    Favourite shows of the weekend

    Wow, this year was bad for idiots. I didn't see guys fight, but there was a female who was getting in the faces of people trying to watch. She was so drunk she was either dancing or trying to pick a fight, ha! The guys involved dealt with her firmly, but as politely as possible (well done guys...

    Best PPEU-moment

    The Good: Losing my voice while singing along to the Baarlo marching bands. The Bad: The Wheelchair and throwing beer at the stage during JOP. Shameful. The Ugly: 9am in our room after the after party. I'd like to send a special thanks out to Chris who was able to come to the venue with me...

    is this due to Progpower?

    Now you know what the botulism in the water does to metal fans who go wading :eek: I'd love to know how American bullfrogs got to Baarlo. They're not an easy animal to transport accidentally. Frogs eggs on camping gear perhaps?

    Favourite shows of the weekend

    I didn't know many bands going in to the weekend and was delighted to find so many great vocalists and keyboard parts. Keyboard being my weakness :) In no particular order: Leprous (these were the biggest surprise of my weekend) Myrath (will be using this music for belly dance class ;))...

    Thank you all!!

    Hello all! Kalle, Jari and I just arrived back in Geneva. 364 days left until 2011 ;) Thank-you to everyone who was there, especially those of you who made the event happen :) We'll be nursing our fevers and flus and would like to send an apology to everyone who might have picked it up :erk:

    Preparing for ProgPower

    We have our 64Gig USB stick to plug into the car, so we'll have more music than I can list. I think we'll listen to bands that have played in past years to show our newbie friend what kind of music he can expect, plus some of our favourite assorted music. No road trip is complete without...

    Progpower special on DPRP

    Very insightful. Now I'm more curious about Leprous. The influences mentioned are all bands I very much enjoy.

    I'm listening to...

    Rhapsody - Unholy Warcry. Inspiration for this choice: My hyperactive Italian coworker running down the hall screaming, "NOOOO! WAIIIT! DON'T PROCEED WITH THAT CASE FILE!".
