Haven't seen a thread for this yet, so...
Cheers; The bands were incredible! I haven't seen a lineup that strong on paper deliver the goods! Every set, every band held my interest from the moment they stepped on stage to the very end.
The bar...for having Sweetwater 420 this year! Its easy to pay $5 for something you like, instead of watered down pseudo beers like Bud Lite. I drank more beer this year than in years past because of it.
Glenn...enough said.
Atlanta weather...thanks for the "No rain" weekend, at least while everybody was in line to get in.
Jon Oliva...for being Jon. Hes an awesome performer and I feel like he's a personal friend because of how he treats people.
Daniel Gildenlow...see above
Need...Thanks for kicking our asses! I knew you would, and you pulled it off flawlessly!
Tom Englund...Aren't you that dude that's in that band? Cheers!
Every band deserves kudo's for the awesomeness that is ProgPower!
JEERS; I hate this list for obvious reasons, but for the most part there was little to complain about! That's why this is a guaranteed return every year...you just cant NOT have fun at ProgPower!
Security...never had a problem after Fridays debacle, but what a clusterfuck for the 1st few hours! To have to throw away a handful of Starburst is just plain fucking wrong! 3 Subway sandwiches had to be run back to the car which ruined lunch/dinner since there was no cooler in the car, so...obvious
Parking in the John Marshall Law School on Friday...exiting the building took 20 minutes, all because the #3 button on the keypad was stuck! We were afraid we were gonna get stuck there all night!
DaVinci's Pizza...500% markup on slices of pizza! We had no choice besides starving or leaving the venue. I hope Glenn gets a cut of the profits, because at those prices we were paying $40 a pizza and he sold probly 500 pizza's at the minimum! Do the math...
Vendor pricing was a little high. It sucks to pay $15 a cd on Friday and then find them for $5 on Saturday. Not that I mind, but a little balance goes a long way. I would have bought more if the prices would have been a little lower, even though I still bought 45 cds lol
All minor issues because everything is just so awesome all weekend long!
There is a reason why this festival is the best thing in the USA. I hope it goes on for 15 more!
BIG THANK YOU TO GLENN!!!
