I'm in Durham, NC right now, may be back in Chicago by November, though. I'm shocked by the amount of Southerners on this thread, I can't find anyone here who likes music remotely close to the stuff at ProgPower.
I've found a way to just miss being clsoe to each of the prior shows. My home town is 15 minutes from Lansing, IL, where 1.0 took place, but I was living in Charlotte. I moved back to Chicago before 2.0 in Atlanta, which is only like 4 hours from Charlotte. Now I'm in Durham, not terribly far from Atlanta, but my schedule dictates I will likely be gone after September. This time I'm going to find a way to make it to the big ATL. Seeing Blind Guardian and others is more important than my lousy career!
