New To The Board

[Savage Pumpkin]

I thought since I saw another poster do the same that I would introduce myself. My name is Ray and I stumbled on this forum by accident. I had heard of ProgPower in years past and now am very excited to hear next years lineup. I am new to the midwest, having moved from Idaho 1 year ago. Now that I have discovered a store in Chicago called Metal Haven my metal taste buds are being more quenched. Obviously by my Avatar and name I am a huge Helloween fan (power metal in general). So I hope to be on this board quite often. Cheers!

Ray

Cheers Mate...

Welcome! Hope to see you at a future PP!
Being from Idaho, did you have to travel for shows a lot while living there? I'm assuming it's probably better now that you are closer to Chicago.

Are you going to go to the Jon Oliva's Pain/Circle II Circle/Manticora show on the 30th in Schaumburg?

 

[Savage Pumpkin]

Thank you for the welcome! Oh yes, I will be there at the JOP show for sure..

Welcome Ray! I hail from the West burbs of Chicago.
I used to live walking distance to the old METAL HAVEN location.

I take it you will be at the Pearl Room on Sept 27th for Helloween.

The Sunday before is Sigh / Novembers Doom at the Pearl Room, if you groove to that sort of thing

Oh yes I bought the VIP tickets for Helloween/ Gamma Ray show. Probably the only show I will do that for as they are my #1 and #2 groups of all time.

Welcome! I spent a lot of time in Sandpoint, ID when I was growing up. I figure that's where I'll retire if I can't afford Hawaii.

Another Chicagoian....Metal Haven is a great store....I live like 10 minutes walking distance from there. They need to stock more power metal though.

We're everywhere, just like Elvis...From the East Coast to the West coast and all points in between.... :Smokedev:

The good news is, I'm the black sheep of the family, and I haven't reproduced, at least as far as I know of....

Where is Metal Haven btw?

It is off Montrose and Damen. Right on the corner. Easy parking too. Not like the old location.
