Yes, we are going to have some shitty weather. However, the show will go on.
1. It will be a tropical storm by the time it hits Atlanta. That means 35-70 mph winds and heavy rain. That is also assuming that we get a 100% direct hit by the eye. The further away it is, the less wind we get. If you check the latest computer models, it is looking better all the time.
2. Rain is not a concern at all. We are on a hill.
3. The bands are schedule to arrive on Thursday BEFORE the storm hits. The headliners for Friday are driving so they will 100% be there even if they don't get in until the next day. As of now, the storm will not even be near us till Friday.
4. Yes, I can see some flight delays on Friday due to wind. I could even see the aiport shutting down for a few hours. However, the minute the wind slows, it will reopen. Atlanta is an international airport and they do not shut down for long. Period.
5. There are no replacement bands, but I will reschedule bands as needed on Saturday if it gets truly bad. It could be one long fucking day of music with set times being adjusted as necessary.
6. Midtown Atlanta is the best place in the world to be. Even if the power goes down, we are in the one place that gets fixed faster than anywhere else. If we have to go all night, we will go all fucking night.
I am truly sorry for those that are going to have trouble traveling. However, the show will go on regardless of whether there are 100 people or 1000 people. There will be no refunds if you can't make it or one of the bands pulls out at the last second. If did that, then it would be the end of ProgPower USA forever.
Relax folks. We will be ok. Just get in early if you can.
