Hahaha! Nice one.
I would've loved to have included you guys but sadly didn't see your set. I had meant to, but got waylaid by connecting with others at the fest and by the time I got in the room, you were playing an interesting choice cover of Xanadu (for those not there, it was NOT Rush's song but rather Jeff Lynn's!). That one sounded good, by the way! I hope the crowd loved your set and hopefully will have some nice things to say about it.

Scott-it was ALSO Rush's version too! A mashup. I'll post video soon.

Really kind of surprised there are not more full reviews here on this thread. Where did all our review writers go?

I have wondered for a few years why some people who interact virtually almost daily with others are reticent to meet those others face to face at festivals. There are several on this site so I'm definitely not being specific, but even if you have negative vibes from online contact and observation from a specific individual, often (from experience-both ways) face to face interaction changes your perception, sometimes dramatically.
Sincere apologies to those painfully shy introverts who are only comfortable with virtual interaction, and whose shyness is the only reason they hold back.
"Shut up old man"! There, I said it so no one else has to.

Geezer, did you recognize others who were shying away?
Gruno - No, not specifically, but from posts made here alluding to being there from people I've never said "hi' to in person that I've virtually known for a while.
In fairness, I am throwing in the presumption that the combination of my profile pic, the fact that the entire weekend I was called "Steve" no more than 3 times by those yelling for my attention across the street or the lobby, and that while I don't look 71, I don't look 55 either, that most people on PE would know who I am. Maybe not.
Chris - Only because there's a shitload more people I know in PA than in NC, as well as my Norwegian friends there this year (Eirik Hanssen's wife Gry was one of Kay's best friends, albeit mostly long-distance). You didn't think it was just the tent, did you?

Well, that could be the case but I think also some people don't know how to track other PE members down. Sometimes it seems like I have to go out of my way and then I may or may not track someone down. Also, if you don't see their picture on their profile how do you know who they are? There is no PE photo shoot at Rosfest like there was for Nearfest. Typically you have to be introduced or happen to know what they look like or whatever. I don't think it's always a question of introvert vs extrovert although many prog fans do seem pretty introverted imo as if they are waiting for people to magically pop up in front of them and ask them what their favorite Spock's Beard album is. I might do that but I know most people don't.

Easy solution: everyone is required to wear a name tag with their PE handle.
Even if it doesn't fix the problem, it'll cause embarrassment! ("You're that guy?")

Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
I've been saying this FOR YEARS. We REALLY need nametags. Because SO much of the "Prog Community" is here in cyberspace, we really need a little nametag that has our real name and our PE (and maybe other sites) handle name(s). FYI, I was one of the ones who recognized and referred to Steve by both of his names!
Well, there's no rule we couldn't make our own nametags and wear them but we'd probably look pretty stupid if only a few of us(or even worse only one of us)was wearing one.

Actually......., many years ago at ProgDay there were a bunch of us who were members of the old People Of The Southwind Kansas group. I had some baseball hats made up with POTSW on it for us to be able to recognize each other. I seem to remember a bunch of Gentle Giant group members wearing shirts at NEARfest one year too.
guess the ironic thing is... ya hadta be there... Yes were doing Prog for the masses in 1972. There were many, many great artists doing much more progressive things with Rock music in 1972 while Yes was moving all that product. What Yes was doing was not "pushing the envelope" at all. They were making progressive Rock that was safe for the masses in 1972
I hope to make it to a Rosfest some day... sounds like it keeps getting better each year

Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
