Sadly I don't have enough time to post and have as much fun as I want to, but this place is a really nice place to retreat from the hectic world outside and just chill and chat about whatever floats yer boat.

I still haven't met anyone either (Puerto Rico is only 35x100 miles), but I have two of my friends here at PA making reviews. Invader Prog and LeRomatikoliko are those two. Both were converted into prog by yours truly. Big%20smile

Oh I arrive here late.

Anyways, this forum is the best I ever participated in. I think the reason this place stays sane is the big amount of adults that frequently post. Most forums are contaminated by 12 years old who only post nonsense. Even the youngsters here sound less stupid than everywhere else.

I made a lot of friends here that I regurlarly chat with out of PA. The half humorous / half serious nature of the forum is great. Most members are awesome and it's pretty peaceful.

Long live PA ! Hug

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Either he's on drugs or I am, that performance is surreal...especially the 'dancing' at the very end of the song.  I've watched it three times and I'm still having difficulties coming to terms with it.

This place is so wonderful... simply the most perfect retreat from the wounds of this broken world ever invented.

I actually live close to Siam(about 40 minutes away) and we should meet someday... And Cyg is pretty close as well, I might go to San Francisco just to get his autograph or something.

The U.S. is pretty large. We progheads are few, and spread out. It's tough to get together. I have yet to find another member that even lives in the same state (Michigan anyone?). There is a festival in Pennsylvania this summer. Perhaps some of us could get together there?



I probably won't be going to NEARfest this year.  I'd really like to, but I don't think I'll be able to because of lack of license/car.  Next year I will go for sure, though. Approve

I think someone swapped him with Michael Palin!  He's definitely drunk.  I think I would be if I was singing that song. LOL

There are many great people here, many of which I talk to out of PA, we've definitely bonded, no doubt.

It would be fun to have a meet up of sorts, but like bhikku says the US is big, and I'm pretty far from most of the other American PA members (nearfest is a possibility i guess...). I may be in Germany next year though, taking some classes, so if anyone is interested in meeting up then...Wink

How about right here?WinkTongue
 
But regarding the post...
You guys and gals are awesome!Hug
 
Finally a place where some actual music knowledge gets traded instead of just hearing about Green DayTongue Plus on top of that, there is more than music. Been hanging around in the VR for a few months now, the discussions that happen there are awesome, plus I enjoy Mike's comments that keep my ego in checkWink
 
Stay cool peopleBig%20smile
