Jonathan Halyalkar

[The_Q]

Wow! I had no idea until I got home and did a little researching here. Tied for coolest guy of ProgPower (tied with Bryant!) is Jonathan Halyalkar. He was the sponsor of Nightwish, Edguy, and this year Stratovarius. I love this dude, he is So cool. So I get home and I find out that this lovable guy is none other than the same Jonathan Halyalkar that played little Billy on Who's The Boss. I nearly fell over in my chair! Anyone else know about that? Little Billy a metal fan, that kicks ass. Heres to you Jonathan!!

Speaking of Bryant.....he must have been smothered with fans all weekend. I noticed him when I was walking to the venue, and passed him when I was going back in from the vendor booths after PC69 and he was coming out after the PC69 set. Didn't see him besides that.

*back on topic*

Bryant is a rock star man! I told him he should have his own table for autographs and pictures. Heres voting for Bryant as the Official ProgPower mascot, who's with me? Also much praise goes to Bryants lovely wife Harumi for keeping Bryant in line and behaving.....for the most part! She rules!

IMDB doesn't seem to have a category for "Notable ProgPower Band Sponsorships." Slackers!

BTW, I don't think he sponsored Nightwish -- if I remember correctly, they were co-sponsored by me and Chris "dweeb" Mitchell.


Anyway, that's really neet. I knew there had to be a reason why Jonathan was so cool. Next thing ya know, Rich Ward from Stuck Mojo (and Fozzy) will be buying a ticket and attending ProgPower-- oh, wait.

Yeah, at some point I heard a guy say "HEY DUDE THE GUY FROM FOZZY IS OUT THERE!!!"

Jonathan is a sweetheart... he and his girlfriend Ana are just so CUTE!!!!!!! I love those guys....
And as far as Bryant, one of my new best buds for sure and i could only look at his wife and say "you are a Saint to have patience for this guy" LOL

He didn't sponsor NW. He was more or less a "show sponsor" without a specific band for ProgPower IV. That's when I first met him and we've been having a blast together every year since. Super cool dude.

I met Bryant for the first time at PPIV too after forum chatting for months. Another of my favorite ProgPower people.
His party antics are priceless. Watching him rock out while that girl sang Queensryche during the Karoke and then dancing with EVERYONE was a blast. I'm in such withdrawel. I already miss my ProgPower friends so much.
