    NVanDyk-Best wishes to you

    Nick, my thoughts are with you. Thank you so much for surprising us all at ProgPower this year. I met you for the first time at PP2, and I know I will be seeing you there again for many years to come! Lorraine

    Been to every single PPUSA?

    Well, as Jax knows, my hubby Kevin (a.k.a. Smak) and I have been to them all! For those who don't know, he and I met at the first PP (awwwwww!). :D Long story short, I heard about it on the Fates Warning mailing list. I had been listening to Symphony X a lot at the time, so I thought it would...

    Fates Warning Performance?

    I was one of those women--right up front on the rail! I swear I must have lost a gallon of sweat, but it was sooooo worth it! They played all the songs I was hoping for: One (which was the opener), Monument, Still Remains (one of my favorite songs by any band, ever... so beautiful), and even...

    Special "Thank You" to Threshold

    I have had such great experiences with Threshold at both ProgPowers they have played. At PPIII, we chatted with Karl, Rich, and Mac at breakfast at the hotel the morning after their show. Mac remembered me from the audience (glad I was memorable... I hope for good reasons! haha). This time, we...

    Threshold Setlist

    Yes, they did Sanity's End... I remember that specifically because that's when Damian did his stage dive practically right onto me, lol! I would have liked to hear Light & Space too, but Pilot was incredible.

    NEW HOTEL CHEAP WITH A PP USA SHUTTLE NOW (update 9/7)

    Glenn, could you clarify what the nearest MARTA station is? I looked at a map, and the hotel appears to be just south of Civic Center Station (3 stops south of Arts Center Station). I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right place. Thanks!

    Agreed on that... Towers of Avarice is incredible. Still, their performance was great, and I thought Chris sounded awesome with them.

    Poll: Which bands should return?

    My votes: Threshold (of course! :D) Redemption Orphaned Land My 4th pick would have been Silent Force, or DC Cooper backed up by anyone! I thoroughly enjoyed his pre-party set last year... so awesome. And I personally love repeats. There are some bands on the list that I didn't care...

    Dream Theater Official Bootlegs

    I will pass a hug along to Kevin! Well, our daffodils are blooming and things are starting to turn green, so I'd say spring is on its way! I can't believe we won't have the Fairfield this year. I'm sure glad I made reservations early at the Residence Inn. Won't be quite the same, but it's...
