Please post your thoughts about the fest here. I'll be back later in the day to edit my post with my own review. Thanks to everyone who could make it out to enjoy the show this weekend! YOU RULE!!!

Hoyt, your a damn hero for putting this on, and feel priviledged to have been a small part of the Pathfinder legacy the past few years. I don't think newbies who come in from out of town know what you had to do to make this happen, and if they did they would appreciate all the more.
Dude, loved watching you guys shred! You make me sick that after my 20 + years playing metal music, I still can't touch you guys!![]()

Not bad, except for that douchebag bass player (jk), who's dad was he? Not really my thing.
lol. Rob is the bassist for VOR, he was just filling in for us since our bassist quit. I'm so glad we got to play with him though, he's a great bass player, and a really cool guy.
It's been nice watching the local prog/power scene grow though. When I first went to one of Hoyt's shows it was at this bar on the south end of town. Halcyon Way and Theocracy played. Don't remember the rest. I think there were about 15 people. Fast forward 3 years and he's able to consistently book shows, draw bands from out of town, and not lose his ass each and every time (I hope not!). It has grown a lot.
Yea, I was just taking shots at Rob. It was funny seeing a 40 y/o bass player in your band though.
Sorry, Mr. Golden, and any others who didn't enjoy the show! Obviously, you can't please everyone. Thanks anyways for attending and supporting Hoyt and everyone involved with Pathfinder Promotions!
For us, it was a great show and a great experience - well worth the 11 hour drive. It was only through a series of cancellations that we ended up as the unexpected 'headliner'. It was an honor for us to be there, but we would have gladly supported any other band in our position. Thanks to everyone who stuck around to watch us and hang out after the show (especially Alas, Tyranny and Eternal Hour). Regardless of what was previously said, we saw and talked with many band members who showed up for both days of the festival to enjoy the other acts.
Coming from a pretty bland local music scene, it was very nice to meet and play with so many quality bands. We would like to invite all of you to Fort Wayne to join us for a show, anytime! Pathfinder is doing great things, not only for the Atlanta area, but for bands like ours everywhere. These shows give all of us some much-needed connections in other areas of the country, making it easier to cross-promote and set up tours, so we should all be thankful for being a part of it!
Thanks!

Holy shit! My only complaint was the Metallica cover. They asked if we wanted to hear new Metallica or old Metallica. How about NO METALLICA? I wish I could have enjoyed more of their set, but I had a splitting headache (I did stay til the end though). Hopefully we'll see them again.
