Still an excellent headliner choice though, and Tom P. mentioned their keyboardist Chris Clark would also be doing a collaboration with Rachel Flowers. Booking England would be enough to bring me back this year. Or Hackett who sadly bypassed my area on his current Selling England By the Pound tour. Or Steve Wilson ditto.
A couple suggestions for the organizers.
1) Get better beer at the venue. Last year there was regular Sam Adams or Heineken. That's it? I left Progstock a couple times to go to the local brewery Wet Ticket, which was great. I heard it was on tap at Progstock 2 years ago, please bring it back!
2) I wasn't impressed with the last year's late night venues. You couldn't see or hear the bands very well at The Waiting Room, and at the theater down the road instead of using the beautiful little 200 seat (?) theater the bands were in what felt like a small gymnasium with no seats. I loved Stratospheerius but after 2AM we were just too tired to keep standing around for Fernando Perdomo's band.
