(Sigh....)

Why not have it in Colorado as a tribute to the Geezer?

**Firth** · 05-27-2016

Or Washington State, or next year could be CA or Az or RI or Fl or NE or ME or MA.

**JKL2000** · 05-27-2016

At the top of the Empire State Building

Or the head of a pin?

You needed a well deserved vacation, but now you probably need some project for retirement. Well, maybe.

Please... ;-)

Putting on a progressive rock festival is the exact opposite of a vacation..........

**battema** · 05-27-2016

How about supporting some of the festivals still going?

**nearfest** · 05-27-2016

ProgDay and Rosfest are the absolute wrong time of year for this university professor and dean.

What is the good time for Phoenix though

**nearfest** · 05-27-2016

the mere thought of gave me a stress attack.

**mkeneally** · 05-27-2016

Breeeeeeathe

**HONDO** · 05-28-2016

Seriously, to even think for a second that NearFest was to happen again is insanity. I would put better odds of the original Genesis getting together again than NearFest to happen again. It had the best run of any Prog Fest in history IMO. And we thank them dearly for it. It ain't gonna happen. But then again pigs fly. It would be great but....... Well you know!

**HONDO** · 05-28-2016

Start your own Fest why don't ya

Sorry...didn't mean you gents should support. I meant folks who want you to ressurect NF might consider some of the other fests.

Bad phrasing on my part.

For me Progday is really the ONLY festival at a good time. School is still out. I wish there was an east coast festival somewhere from mid July thru August.

**progmatist** · 05-28-2016

It's too hot in Phoenix. I should know, I live there.

I never knew John Battema was a crack whore. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Q. How do you become a millionaire?

A. Start as a billionaire, and put on a prog festival.

buttcrack?

**Digital_Man** · 05-28-2016

Nearfest was great. I was at about half of them(not counting pre shows). However, it is done and some of you need to get over it. Why not start your own prog fest and leave these guys alone?
