New to PP

I'm new to Prog Power this year, as well.
Although I have been a prog rocker for a few years now.
I just didn't know about the big show. I am sooo looking forward to it.
:headbang: :kickass: :headbang:
Is a corset mandatory on friday night?:)

Welcome to you as well! You're going to love the festival. :headbang:

And no, a corset is not mandatory, but many of the girls wear corsets on Friday night. I've personally been thinking about wearing an Evergrey shirt that night this year, but who knows? Bands should start making corsets with their logo on them, just so I can wear a corset on Friday night and still support my favorite bands. Haha! I can only dream. :Smug: :Smokin:

Hope to see you at the show and some of the parties. :kickass:
 
Corset is not mandatory on Fri., but some of us with "less-than-corset" anatomy have come up with creative alternatives. It's all fun btw; it's a side benefit at ProgPower that fashion experimentation is totally free and all good!!!

There is another way to put this.

Price of Pre-Party ticket- $20
Price of Festival ticket - $104
Price of airfare - $200 - $500
Price of hotel - $200 - $400
A chance to be at the world's PRIEMIER Metal Festival - PRICELESS


Sooo true. :headbang: There are much bigger fests, but none that have consistently run so smoothly and have drawn such strong talent.


DGirl, you'll have a great time. :kickass:

I think Harv should have ProgPower corsets made. :)

Hey....! I resemble that remark. :saint:




And you didn't look all THAT hungover at the Vortex:

Oh wait.....Maybe you did. Just a little. :erk:






But no one, I repeat, NO ONE made you wear the pink boa. *whistles*



:lol:

You look just like you did when I met you in NYC in April!

That would be wonderful!!!! Or at least a Progpower girlie shirt of some type.

(As Glenn buries his head in his hands saying "I've explained why we don't have girlie shirts a million times already...")
 
Welcome.... you will see there are plenty of nice people and Atlanta is a hospitable city for the most part..... see you in a few months, say hi.
 
Man, I am going to have to hang with you this year.... :)

Stay away from the Granada Hotel after-show parties. You won't get back(read: find your way back) to your room until 6 in the morning. Then, someone will call you wanting to go get something to eat at the Vortex, but you'll be so hungover that you can barely move...much less eat. Because of your vulnerable state(read: hungover like a bastard), you will be coerced into participating in some rather embarrasing photos involving a pink boa.

...um, not that this has ever happened to me, ever...really...never.

Was that before or after the big day at Twins Gerry? :lol:
That was after the open bar, so it was a little different in NY. Iwas feeling 'good' at the DT show, as opposed to the pic above where I just wanted to die.:lol:

You can post the 'boa' pic, if you must. There are people, in my past, who have pics of me in much more compromising positions and situations...:oops:
 
That is not normal Linda.... the girls are still making fun of me for all the stuff i did that night.....
but man, i heard i met a shitload of people!! LOL



TheWhisper said:
I don't know, after the pre-party last year, I'm thinking you might be a bad influence on me...:D
 
kellsco said:
I'm gonna just buy you a pink boa and bring it with me. I like that idea much better. :p
Actually, something in fuscia, or maybe a salmon, would bring out the color of my eyes. Though, I could be totally wrong on both accounts. I'm not sure if I'm an Autumn, or a Summer.:loco:

Bring the boa and I'll wear it to the pre-party. That should make me easy to spot.:lol:
 
I know. I was not drunk that night...just did not remember the pic for some reason... LOL

not sure there is a normal Linda... but let me know if she comes out one day.



yardleybates said:
Well, Linda, I have a pic of you and I from Powerfest that you say you don't remember. I sure do :oops:

I think it may be closer to normal Linda than you'd like to think :lol:
 
One thing i've learned...Don't take the weather forgranted. It seems like since PPIII there are hurricanes to compliment ProgPower. PP usually hits just about the time Storm Named 'I' or 'J' or 'K' comes through. Plan ahead...seriously. it's better to be a day early than a day late being stuck on the tarmac or traintracks or worse-in the air.
