yeah... we were roughly halfway between you and the Pavilion. I like to be close to the pavilion. Once I kill the couple of 6 packs I brought in the cooler... it's a short crawl to the kegs.
Anyhow.. I'm really easy to find. Look for the short f**ker with the killer body and face that looks like a tank ran over it. Or just find my wife.. I'm never far from her.. inseperable we are generally... and oh how she stands out. Even more than than I do. Ummm hmmm wooo hooo...

^I'll be on the look out, but that doesn't narrow down the field much!
We were directly behind the mixer board, in the second row of canopies... two blue chairs under a beach umbrella (Couldn't fit our darn canopy AND the beer cooler in my car. Beer won.). I had a Jarre concert tee one day, and a CTTE tee the next. I think maybe I'll have my avatar printed on a t-shirt.
Here's a panorama from our perspective... The woman who comes into view at 0:08 is my wife.

Look forward to meeting you! I’m the really tall guy with the slightly inappropriate t-shirt.

hahah.. sorry man.. didn't mean to leave you hanging. It was the sake... in my youth it would have been a warmup.. these days...on top of 10 hours of drinking beer out on the green.. it was just a nightcap.
I don't normally do the pool.... except when Paul Sears (Muffins drummer) graces us with his presence at Prog Day. Have you met him Steve? I don't think he's been there the last couple of years. He is the life of the party afterhours.. and sort of in a way the heart and soul overall of Progday.. I can and often have just sat there for hours and listened to his hilarious stories of the prog scene in the 70's and especially when he gets going about Fripp. Last I heard he was working on a biography... might even have finished it for all I know (need to check) but that will be a MUST read. Oh the stories he can tell....

saying when on one glass He was getting tipsy though.. yeah that plum wine will knock you for a loop. I don't think he drinks like the fish we are. Hence my 2018 mission... paving the road to Ian's complete corruption.. but at least having have TWO glasses with dinner hahaha
I do btw... I love that stuff... it hits pretty hard.. and tastes great going down unlike some of the sh*t I've drunk in my lifetime.

yeah man.. there is a small but loyal contingent of us that go to Prog Day.
you might have seen me last year.. I was the damn fool who won the signed guitar raffle..
be sure to look us up.. our after music parties/nights on the town are legendary if you can keep up with H.T's Camero..
SAKE!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I remember that. Ibanez, wasn't it? Lucky dude! I may have gotten a photo... have to check.
yeah.. an Ibanez it was.. it was pretty cool to win. Surprised the hell out of me, Raff and I were flush with my large bonus I got from work so I had cash to burn and bought a boatload of tickets. It was a good cause, but never thought I'd win the damn thing.... I never win anything. I might bring it this year, especially if there is an artist at Progday this year I find especially interesting and see if they'll sign it as well.

I was there too, hangin with Nogbad, Raff, Micky, HT and others. I found the combination of Sonar with Torn a bit surprising and wasn’t sure it was going to end well, but I was won over pretty quickly. He was very loud compared to the core band, but it came off as almost a power-ambient performance, with steady rhythmic weirdness backing it up, rather than the reverse which I expected. So it was really like 2 shows in one - Sonar alone was one vibe, then the vibe changed when Torn tore a new one.
Overall, my 2nd favorite act of the weekend, after iNFiNiEN.
I also really dug that kickbutt Hibachi dinner we all had at the end.
iNFiNieN were fantastic! It was an unexpected highlight of the show for me. My second fav was Shylock ("I love your guitar playing, but please stop singing." - LMFAO!). Third was Sonar (during those intervals when David Torn was cooling his fingers).

little Ian really made that dinner special. I love watching the youth discover the joys of getting wasted. I look forward to continuing his corruption this year. This year I arrive with several bottle of plum wine just for him.

It was a rather excellent dinner.
