You shoulda bought tix to Cal-Prog. It would have been worth the trip.

Oh yeah! I've had a few pints of that... had a damn hard time walking afterwards, but it is good. Fresno just opened a BJ's Brewhouse on Shaw near Fresno State. EVERY waitress in the place is drop dead sexy.

I've met a couple of members on this board. First, I've hung out at a couple of shows here in NYC with Maani... and me and the other ELP fanatic... RichardH... have seen a few shows together in London.
I get around.... 
So if anyone is going to that Porcupine Tree show at Irving Plaza tonight...the Marillion acoustic at the Bowery or Nearfest ... try and find me...

Easy there Reed or I'll be shouting for the Arsenal manana.And you shrinking person you should know better.And Reed those were the easy questions I gave you ,wait for the real maseratis winging their way to your neighborhood soon
It was great meeting Easy Livin a true prog gentleman and his two sons at the Porcupine Tree gig and Metro who introduced himself briefly but was more interested in Shrinking Violet Bob's sons enjoyed the concert and We have agreed to meet up for drinks soon to discuss the wonderful world of music and no doubt other salient matters.

I'm not likely to meet anyone living in deepest darkest Grimsby, in deepest darkest Lincolnshire, but fingers crossed next year I'll be living in Surrey and probably travelling to London relatively often so maybe there'll be some signs of life/prog there

I'm currently based in Sahf London myself, so it's possible I could run into you at a gig some time.

Never had the pleasure of meeting any other members.
It'd be rather fun to run across someone I 'knew' from here by
accident, but I suppose I would not partake any planned / organised
meeting of our lot.
Beisdes, I'm good-looking and unfriendly, so I'd probably feel alienated around other members...
Cheers

Never met any. There's a few I'd like to meet, as they genuinely seem good natured and the type you'd like to talk prog bollox with over a few ales.
I know sigod and certif1ed have been at the same gigs as me! I bet there's been a few near misses over the years with a few others too.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Know what you mean - there are some here I'd very much like to meet in person, but until my regular investments in the Lottery bear fruit, the chances are slim

It may take some time, but the wife and I are working on a UK holiday, old chum. I'd sure love to drink a pint and watch you play with your organ. Does Vicky play with it too?
