Andy, I swear you are my new favorite person right now!
Your paragraph is exactly the reason why I put together this portion of the program. By the time I finally got a chance to see Manowar in the mid-90's, Logan was already a member of the band and I was dismayed that I would never ever see Ross perform. When Manowar did the huge reunion show in Germany, I was flat broke and I should have sold my organs to be able to go, but alas, I didn't. So then I was even MORE pissed at myself and figured now I absolutely had no possible way of seeing Ross ever.
When I was offered the Minnesota debut of Ross for August of 2009, I was beyond excited. It was finally the completion of my personal Manowar experience and like you, I filled in a couple of holes in my autograph collection. The show was beyond anything I could have hoped for.
I cannot wait to share this experience with you and indeed all my other ProgPower brothers. With the killer opening acts and Ross headlining, this will be a fantastic evening.
I look forward to seeing you there!
