ProgPower USA X 2009

Congratulations PQ Guys
Pagan-Quest USA.....at last!

I've been waiting on the PM/PPUSA announcement since the last time we were in Atlanta in 2007, great news it's all official.

PQ will have a blast, those crazy Yanks will love you, believe me

Extremely likley I'll be there for a re-run and to catch up with my American metal brothers & sisters.

To Americans 12 hours drive is nothing, so long at they have plenty of beers in the boot to attack on arrival - it's a BIG Country
 
I can't wait!!!!! Being a newbiee to this scene..PQ was one of the very first bands that I heard that blew me away!! I will be there to see the boys play!!!!!! PQ and PM...I think I'm in heaven!!!!
 
Very cool :)

You guys and Andre Matos are my only reasons for attending ProgPower. None of the other bands do anything for me.

Thankfully it's only a 5 hour flight to Atlanta from Seattle so that's a heck of a lot shorter than a flight to England (10 hours) :)
