TEoF Luncheon with the Band - ProgPowerUSA IV
Saturday September 6, 2003
11:30am-1:30pm
Best Western Granada Suites Hotel, Promenade Room A&B

Price per person: $15.00
(this covers the cost of lunch and the rental of the room)

Payment options:
1) now via Paypal
2) at the luncheon with cash

1) If you want to pay now through Paypal, please send your name & the names of any guests (2 guests per person please) with your payment (send the payment via Paypal to jax at symphonyx dot com).

2) If you wish to pay at the luncheon, you must e-mail me (jax at symphonyx dot com) with your name & the names of any guests (again, 2 guests per person).

The cutoff for signups will be 10pm EDT on Wednesday, September 3rd, and you MUST sign up ahead of time to get in the door, regardless of your payment choice..anyone who is not on the signup list, or okayed by the band or myself, will not be allowed in the door.

**note** This luncheon is a special treat for the members of the mailing list and the forum, which is why it's not advertised on the SymX site or the PPUSA site..please don't invite everyone you know.

To find the Promenade Rooms in the Granada:
The Granada is right down the street from the venue, at 1302 West Peachtree.
Enter the hotel lobby (there'll likely be a sign there welcoming the TEoF Luncheon attendees) & go through it to the hallway..go left & head down the hall until it turns left..follow the hall until you get to the doorway on the right where the elevator is (approx. halfway down the hall). Take the elevator down to the basement level..exit the elevator & turn right & the Promenade Rooms will be directly ahead of you..for those of you who've stayed at the Granada before, this is the same area where they hold the free happy hour nightly.

Any questions can be sent to me via private e-mail (not through UM please).
 
Forgot to mention..for those attending, wear a SymX shirt if you can, cuz we'll be getting group photos.. :)

I'm trying to make a point to send confirmation mails to everyone as they sign up, letting them know they're on the list..have had a bit of trouble with the mail server over the past few weeks, so please be sure I respond to you and let you know you're on the list..if you don't hear from me within 24 hours of sending your mail, try mailing me at jax at churchofthemachine dot com; I'd rather be overly thorough than miss getting anyone signed up! And please don't assume that I know you'll be there..the only people on the list are those who have mailed me & asked to be on the list, so do please e-mail me if you intend to go!

Also..it's okay to ask the band to sign ONE item, but DO NOT bring your entire SymX catalog of cd liners & expect them to sign them all..they're there to have lunch & enjoy themselves, not spend the whole time autographing things. Thanks for your understanding. :)
 
$ sent, Jax. I don't have a SX shirt, but I'll be standing in the back anyway with the Amazons. ;)
 
*cries*..group photo's..*cries some more*...
is the luncheon thing every progpower that they attend or is this just special occasion and never will be repeated again???
 
This is the 2nd lunch we've put together with the band during ProgPower, and last year the mailing list people had a lunch on our own (and traumatized the entire restaurant we were in :lol: ) so I guess you could say it's kind of a tradition now for the SymX fans to gather at ProgPower, whether or not the band is there..and yep, if the band plays another ProgPower, we'll likely organize a lunch with them again.
 
I do not have a Symphony X shirt :cry:

I have never seen them live and I have never even seen a Symphony X shirt in peron! :OMG:

Anyway, here is what I am going to wear since I do not have a Symphony X shirt :erk: :

Note: I always wear shirts like the one above ... THEY ARE THE BEST! :D
 
Medieval/Fantasy shirts are the best shirts EVER! :D

I also wondering about how many people will be attending...

I am also pretty nervous about this whole thing ... it is going to be weird having lunch with one of my favorite bands. I get really nervous around people especially a band I listen to! :erk: I am sure everything will be all right though.

So I guess I'm wondering...how many people do you expect to attend this thing? Is there gonna be a lot do you think?

At the moment, we have 62 people signed up, including the band, & I know for a fact there are more people who'll be there that haven't signed up yet..so it'll be a nice gathering. :)

No worries, it's a real casual atmoshphere. It's a long room, the band sits at a table up at the front & everyone else is seated at round tables throughout the room..lunch will be buffet style so you just grab what you want..& you can go talk to the guys at your leisure (just please let them finish eating first..hehe). Ask anyone who was there the last time we did this..it's a lot of fun. Here's one of the group pics from last time (some people had to leave early & missed being in the group photos):
