I don't think I've met anyone from PE, - at least not when I was aware of it at the time. I've been on the last few CTTEs which have had several members along, but I don't know for sure if I met anyone there. I've seen Progeezer at a show here in the Madison area, but I wasn't sure it was him (I'm positive now) and felt sheepish about walking up to someone and saying "are you Progeezer?"
I have met a number of people over the years from other prog/Yes forums, but I only started coming here regularly maybe five or so years ago. Before that I would pop in and read some but didn't post or probably sign up (don't remember an actual timeline).
True story : a few years ago, the late Kay & I, on a hot summer day, went to Michael's Frozen Custard on Monroe St. in Madison. We're sitting at a table eating and a stranger walks up to me and says, "are you Progeezer on Progressive Ears?". It was PE's beloved?? JKL (Jed) of NYC/NJ, whose wife (I didn't know this then) grew up in Madison.
When we got home, Kay said, "I feel like I was just in a Twilight Zone episode".

^^^^ See you Monday, Mr. Stove. I'll be with Dalegtr and Magog (not here much anymore) who are driving up from Chicago and also Bob Lee from Milwaukee, who you may or may not know, as well as my 37 year old son Peter, who's the only one of my 5 kids that inherited good taste in music. So you can hang out with all of us if you're so inclined.
Yeah, my license plate makes my car easy to spot.

Thought I'd give this a bump. Anyone else going? Going to be a great show! Also, the Rosfest crowd is in for a big treat. Wish I could make it this year.
Also, Geezer- LOVED your Ticketlegitimate comment! LOL Only 8 general admissions tickets left. $35- cheap! (to quote Mad magazine!)

Michael's is fantastic. We used to live about 1.5 miles from one and would walk over for a custard about twice a week. I live out in the country now, so it doesn't happen often.
Meetings are funny. My folks ran into my dad's best friend in Germany once. They both new they were traveling at the same time, but neither knew where until they were getting coffee one morning.
The best frozen custard!!

In case anyone is interested, I will have copies of The Strawberry Bricks Guide to Progressive Rock, Revised and Expanded Edition available for sale at the show!

Well if they anywhere near as well as tonight in Quebec you're in for a good night.
Fucking awesome show.
Chris Briggs and myself will be there from Grand Rapids, MI. See you all tomorrow!
Woooweee. What a night! Nice long set from Anglagard, and all of Hybris! XmarksX was a great surprise (though it shouldn't have been, I've seen Liquid Soul numerous times) and of course District 97 offered a rockin' set of songs (including a new one, and a couple from Hybrid Child).
Thanks to all who purchased the book!

Late to post but I have been in Anglagard heaven for the past couple of weeks!!! What an astoundingly perfect show!!! I mean they played perfectly and Alar, their soundman, made the band sound as perfect as they played. OK, maybe I'm still just a bit wound up but honestly, for Anglagard fans this was truly a great show!! Approximately 2 1/2 hours, including this magical interlude between 'sets': (Courtesy of Joel Barrios)
