I was originally planning on being there to work the fest like I have in the past, but I recently moved back to Florida and the funds and vacation time just isn't available to me to make the trip this year which is incredibly unfortunate because there are some bands I was really looking forward to seeing.

 

[Aletheus]

You're telling me, Pat...

All of those bands look appealing...but dishing out that kind of cash would be murder on my finances.

 

[SeaStorm]

I can't make it this year, but I am happy that labarum is picking up the reins and trying for a second Theocracy fan gathering, which was a pleasantly-surprising success last year

 

[Georgia]

We won't be able to make the gathering this year. We've decided to go to see Kamelot, Delain and Eklipse @ the Masquerade at the end of September instead of ProgPower. I wish we could do both!

 

[labarum]

Sadness...looks like it will be a gathering of One this year. Still wearing my shirt the first night though.

Georgia, I had to make that choice too, but since I saw Kam at PP last year, I decided to do PP again. Plus I HAVE to see Myrath, I am beyond stoked.

So I just figured out Theocracy is actually playing a gig in FL on that Saturday, so there is little to no chance that they will be hanging out, because they'll be likely packing/unpacking all their gear for the road/travelling.

 

[Verbum Lux]

There are definitely some good bands there. It would be worth going for Xandria alone. Too bad that's way too far for me.

BTW, I was looking at their site and ReinXeed cancelled.

 

[SeaStorm]

BTW, I was looking at their site and ReinXeed cancelled.

Yeah, ReinXeed cancelled and were replaced by Divinity Compromised. Total bummer. I feel bad for those who are going and were pumped for ReinXeed

 

[labarum]

Bumping for hope that somebody else is coming?!?

I am amped beyond belief.

 

[SeaStorm]

Enjoy the festival, sir! Even if you are the only one representin' us.

 

[Georgia]

Have a great time! Would love to see Armored Saint. Looking forward to your "post awesomeness" reviews!

 

[JonH]

I will be there tonight for Circle II Circle & Rhapsody - so if you see me feel free to say hello!

 

[Aletheus]

How bout you join them on stage for a jam?
