Hell, no..... A bit more advance warning would be better, but by all means let me know of shows so I can post them.
....Speaking of which, time to edit the pre-party entry to reflect the venue change!
yes, it was great to meet up with James and Kathy. You two were as nice as could be and we had some great conversation about music and the ProgPower shows through the years. Yeah, I'm always up for yammering on about my favorite bands and also hearing others' opinions on bands I may not know yet. Thanks! 
And hanging out with the guys from Devane and Halcyon Way was icing on the cake. Devane should seriously be considered at least for a future pre-show party, if not as an opener for the main festival itself. This (currently) three-piece unit really put on a great performance. They are each quite talented in their own right: T.C. was a consummate frontman - showing great emotion as he played (and he can play a damn mean guitar!); Gene was a monster on the bass, reminding me of the early days of W.A.S.P. with Blackie slinging hair everywhere and stalking the crowd; and the drummer Matt was anything but a background character. I think my teeth are still rattling. heh heh
Not to take anything away from the Halcyon Way guys... they had a great time on stage as well. And they (pleasantly) surprised me with their renditions of 'Sunglasses at Night' and 'Heaven & Hell'. They also had some great original material, especially later in their set. I just got more into the music of Devane from the start. I guess they are more my style.
If you're local to Atlanta and haven't made it out to a show with either of these bands, you owe it to yourself to do so. I've been one of the biggest fuddy-duddys over the past 10 years concerning the support of local shows. But I intend to remedy that going forward. Support your local Metal - no matter where you live! And Halcyon Way and Devane need to tag-team the clubs more often! Great Show!

The pleasure was all ours; we had a great time, as well! Thanks again for the promo CD; I'm listening to it as I type this...
