I think the clock's slow...

[Bamafan]

I've noticed that as PP approaches, my behavior changes. I'm a little more irritable, generally dissatisfied with the daily routine, and more easily distracted. I don't take much time off leading up to PP, and this is a traditionally busy time of year, so I can partially explain away my ennui.

But mostly I think I'm just ready for the damn festival. Is it PP yet?

 

[TychoCelchu]

I'm getting antsy too, and I can't even make it this year.

 

[Stevie WOnder]

I get that too... The "experience" starts when I meet my buds at the airport. Five days of pure happiness...

Time is really moving slowly presently though and it's hard to concentrate on the job. Bring it on!!!

Get back to listening to Angra. You were happy last night. Put that shit on again and you'll be fine.

 

[Justin G]

You are not alone. I've experienced these symptoms since 2002.

Holy Land did make me feel pretty epic. Or at least it did until I crashed watching Azarenka smack down some poor tour rookie.

Ahhh, the open is back... good times.

I'm having a wicked case of the pre-PPUSA whatevers myself. I can't bring myself to give too many shits about the code I'm planning out right now...I just...want...my...metal!

On the plus side, though, the full album stream of The Safety Fire's newest album is keeping me rather entertained.

 

[labarum]

And lets not get the horrible case of PFS (Post fun syndrome) we all experience on the way back home that culminates with waking up to work the next week.

 

[Mardoch]

Hah. I don't even get to go home after the fest. I'll be on site in Pittsburgh the week after. But the good part of that is that my travel is company sponsored! I just have to pay for my hotel.

We don't talk about that the week before the event dude.

 

[Diamond45]

For 51 weeks we lament when we're not at ProgPower.. then we have a super kick ass party the entire week/weekend... and then we lament for another 51 weeks.....

 

[Harvester]

I can't get the motherfucker to slow down this week.

 

[Diab0lique]

 

[nomisofsiman]

I've definitely been getting antsy, especially since I've missed the last few.

 

[AMBR]

I can't get the motherfucker to slow down this week.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly, though I'm sure your schedule/stress is far worse. Too much to do. I'm not ready!!

 

[OrbWeaver]

I've certainly been getting antsy. I'm seriously tempted to call in sick to work on Sunday and Monday, but as it's the holiday weekend, I know if I do that they'll be up shit creek without a paddle. And I want the holiday pay on Monday. I'm SO READY to get away for a week or so.

I am in a very similar situation with the job bearing down and not enough time to do all my "preparation listening". Actually, next week is quite a music/metal week for me. On Saturday & Sunday, I will be in Chapel Hill, NC seeing a variety of eclectic and progressive bands, including Thank You Scientist. Tuesday evening it is Iron Maiden. And then of course the best of the best festival on the planet on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

I've been getting that way myself. Trying to plug away at this new software that I am developing and just can't get my mind on it!

Hell, I am already planning out what I am going to pack this year, considering that I try to pack as light as possible, so I can fit all the shit that I end up buying back in my suitcase. For example, I won't even pack a shirt for Sunday, since I'll be getting one there (the "Official ProgPower USA T-Shirt"). Don't need socks since I'll be wearing my flip-flops the entire time.

I am so friggan stoked for this. The second that I get out of work on Wednesday afternoon (will probably have to ditch early), hopefully Dave will be at the house waiting, and we can then hit the road south for Richmond to catch that flight out to Atlanta!

I do the exact same thing. Hell, I don't even pack one friday or saturday.
