Anyone else see Nathan (Swordlord) at the very front of the barrier (dead friggin' center) on Thursday AND Friday? Does the man move????LOL I think not. Does he do his business in a bucket or something? That guy is friggin' metal maN.

In a word ... No.
Nathan get's there early and holds his spot. He's not interested in drinking, he doesn't get a nic-fit and need to go grab a smoke. He is certainly one of the most dedicated metal heads I know. Rock on, SwordLord!

i saw him....i was up on the rail all of thursday, but didn't get in early enough (and wasn't interested enough in all of the bands) to stay there the whole time last night.

Attack!
Wow, so I've become the official "Where's Waldo" of ProgPower, eh?
I actually had a whole ton of people ask me this year, "How do you do it?" so at long last, I will reveal my secret.
1. I eat a big meal and drink plenty of water two hours before I know I'm going to be at the venue.
2. Once I'm at the venue, I do not eat at all (for reasons I hope are obvious) and I nurse maybe half a bottle of water throughout the day.
3. As far as sitting goes, it's very difficult to actually sit once you are up front, so you usually have to just tough it out. Make sure you have good shoes that are comfortable to stand in for LOOOONG periods of time. Having said this however, my feet are absolutely hating me today ... they've threatened to go on strike, hopefully I can come to terms with their union before Monday since I have to work that day!
See you on the rail next year!

haha. I'm up on the rail nearly all night as well. I just don't know how you manage to not have to pee horrendously.

I'm not saying I'm more metal or anything, but my friend Scott and I were on the barricade the ENTIRE festival, and I do believe Nathan left before After Forever on Saturday. I'm not saying.. I'm just saying....

He did indeed. When he walked by me in the lobby outside, I did a double-take.
"?!?!?!"
"I gotta get some food!"

I guess I always assumed that Nathan eats other ProgPower attendees so he doesn't have to lose his place.

Of course I saw him. The man is a living characature of a metal-head. He is absolutely dedicated to getting his money's worth out of the show and enjoying the bands on stage playing. The festival absolutely wears me out (all the beer drinking certainly does take it's toll as well mind you) and there is no way I could muster up enough energy to live up near the stage like he does. Nathan is one dedicatred individual.

I also must attest to how awesome it was having my ass handed to me when I played him in Archon this weekend. Actually, I don't even think I got in a single victory during the fest. =(
See You In Hell
Is this the real McCoy?
I think the song "Metal Gods" should be dedicated to Nathan -- the guy is probably the most dedicated metal fan I've ever encountered and it was a pleasure getting to know him. A class act all the way! See you next year, man! And this time I am bringing better shoes!!!

Among the people I wanted to meet this year, Nathan was most definitely one of the nicest ones. We met at the security lines checkpoint at the airport, what a class act the guy is!! See you next year buddy, stay in touch!!!
