Where's the prog?

2013 definitely has a 'heavy metal' feel to it, which is likely intentional. For many years it's been noted that power metal has always sold a greater proportion of tickets. 2009, which was a 'prog yera', was also a down year for attendance.
This year (2012) came close to being the last one, so it's no surprise that he booked a lineup of bands with a live-performance focus for next year.

I might go to Saturday next year.

Serenity was a real surprise yesterday, they were almost too amazing for words and they had the fullest crowd of the Friday bands.

It was a real treat getting to see Primordial in this type of room and hear them with basically a perfect sound mix; everything was crystal clear. This venue is the best venue I've ever been in for myriad reasons, it's a big part of why I'm back at this for the fifth time right now.

I can't get the damn wifi in my hotel to work so I had to drive up to a Panera in uptown to check the board, LOL.

I'm expecting good stuff out of Solution 45 and Mystic Prophecy tonight, and of course, Pretty Maids are the reason I came down here and should be world-beating.
