So, how is the Pre-party

To go to the preparty you only need to pay whatever cover charge the place is charging. I think last year it was like $6 or $7 or something.

It was $12.00.
Pre-party is a place where everyone shows off their concert t-s and get to meet fellow proggers. Fun, but long night....
 
The PP4 pre-party was worth it, just for the music itself. Meeting people is a bonus!

Which brings up a somewhat awkward point... I kinda liked the Riviera Club even more than the Earthlink. (I realize PP5 Preparty is somewhere else.) It was nice to NOT have to leave the room and music when it was time for another beer. Just step over to the bar, buy beer, step back and resume headbanging to 2112. :kickass:

Compare that to Earthlink, where you have to turn away from the music, leave the room through a door and barely hear it muffled in the background, work your way through the crowded vendor area, eventually find where they're sellin' beer. Then carry it back through crowded vendor area, where people are bumping into you. Spill a bit in this crowd here, spill a bit on the stairs there, miss half a song. Bah. Screw that. Drinking at the Earthlink is a downer. Thus the pre-party is The Place to get your buzz on, along with great music too.
 
The Pre-party is great because it often gives me a first glimpse at seeing my friends that I haven't seen in a year!!!!!

Ok, now you are beginning to spook me (big laugh)! I expect you to use the famous Yngwie Malmsteen line of "you've unleashed the f@cking fury" next...

ROTFL

Ahhhh. Once again, the plot THICKENS! The mystery of who will play the Pre-Party grows ever deeper. I call it: "THE INCREDIBLE SHIFTING LINEUP". Heheheheh. Hey Shawn...who's next...Ozzy? [evil cackle]
Halcyon Way is not a shift. They were in the original press release. This is nothing new.

pre party entry was free for gold badge holders
um, not that i recall. we got to go in early, but we still had to pay. unless i seriously missed something and didn't know we could get in free, which i don't think was the case.

Nope it wasn't free. I paid $24 bucks for me and the wife to get in. I had a gold badge. I'll be there again this year though.
