Now here is what I figuring, the bands will be great at either fest, but what I am concerned about is,
Are my brothers of metal from PP gonna be there?!?!?
Don't forget your metal sisters like me! :Shedevil:
I wanna know which members of the PP clan are gonna be there because you guys make the fest that much more fun. I have heard very little talk of any members going to Powerfest, so at the moment I am leaning towards Nightmare.
I really want to go to Nightmare Fest and right now if I only had to choose between this and ChicagoPF, it would definitely be Nightmare Fest. The problem is that it's not just those two festivals.
I've got my Gold Badge and there's no way in hell that I'm missing PP.
It would also be pretty shitty of me to skip/miss FotV since:
- It is a festival that I am a big advocate for as far as the style of metal.
- I want to see it last for the long haul and I've heard that the first 2-3 years are the toughest for festivals, so this is a critical year for us.
- I have been one of the main promoters for the festival. I'd feel like a hypocrite for not going.
- I have already invested a lot of my own time, energy and even some money into to pushing it to be a success.
So the absolutes on my list are Prog Power and Flight of the Valkyries, but I really would like to go the Nightmare Fest as well. It's just going to depend on if I have the money, the leave from work (another major factor), and on how many more bands that I really deeply care about (not just know I'll like 'cause they're on Nightmare's label) get put on the bill.
Edit: Oh shit! I forgot! Not to mention that the festival is on the weekend of Easter and my family will give me so much shit for not being there. I got a hard enough time last year when I went to FotV on Father's Day weekend.
Sorry, Ian, I just can't give a definite answer at this point. Damn it! Why can't I just win the lottery, quite my job, and bounce from festival to festival all year long.

There goes my wishful thinking again.
So I am at a major decision, and I need to decide between Powerfest or Nightmare fest.
Does that mean your no longer even considering FotV as you mentioned on the thread on the PP forum?
