Heathen Crusade... anyone going?

[General Zod]

Subject line pretty much says it all. I'm on the fence with this one. Minnesota in January?

They say it supposed to be a warmer winter. Isn't NJ cold also in the Winter?

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

I'm going. I need to buy a coat, 50 degrees is cold to me.

 

[Dark One]

I'll be there, staying at the Courtyard by Marriott in Roseville, MN - which is the official festival hotel. Got a room with two queens, so I have some extra space as well.

I actually read this as well (no fooling Zod) - it was in the almanac, which apparently is accurate about 80% of the time, seems better than local forecasters!

Isn't NJ cold also in the Winter?

It is, but not AS cold - especially in terms of being very cold on a sustained basis. In the dead of winter in NJ (or Philly, where I live), it can be like 20-30 degrees a few days, followed by a week of 45 degree days - so it can certainly vary. I believe in the Minneapolis area the temperatures tend to hover in the 20 degree range in winter, with milder days being the exception rather than the rule.

I just bought my tickets to go, I can't wait I love Thryfing and Moonsorrow, and Primordial is great as well.

 

[eppst1]

Got my ticket also and I have a room at the Marriot also. I would be open to splitting a room with someone.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I have to make it to this.

Zod, quit being a fairy.

With all due respect to Glenn, this is the best festival lineup in the U.S.

I'm sure you're not completely serious here Mark, unless you're strictly talking personal musical tastes. I mean, you're not going to find the average Conception and Pain of Salvation devotees flocking to a fest centered around viking black/death metal.

For the record, I'm with you on the lineup solely based on my current musical tastes. And there are tons of fans who would also say Progpower has the best lineups for their own tastes. However, as far as metal festivals in the U.S. are concerned, Glenn has simply set the standard by which I will judge all others. If someone is going to top the experience of attending Progpower USA, they are going to have to work EXTREMELY hard.

Having said that, there's no need to get away from the well deserved hype - Heathen Crusade is simply going to RULE!

I'm completely serious, and yes, my statement is 100% derived from my personal musical tastes.

ProgPower II. And had Vanden Plas not ran and hid like scared little girls, then it would be the best PP line-up by a wide margin.
