Well Stonebeard, thanks to Prog Archives I have enjoyed two great Prog Archives meetings (in my hometown The Hague with Joren, Alucard, Syzygy, Sean, Dutch Tony and Oliverstoned) and in Paris with Oliverstoned and Alucard (I was allowed to use his appartment Thumbs%20Up). But Prog Archives is my 'Freudian sofa' and my psychological mirror Wink so in the end I came back because it's such a great place to meet fellow progheads, to join threads, to write reviews and to hail the Mellotron Clap And in fact every I learn as much on Prog Archives from myself as during my work as a psychiatric nurse LOL !
 
I'd say the same than Erik, meeting a few of you in London, DenHaag and Canterbury was awesome.Thumbs%20Up
 
I'd love to meet some more of the members around, like Bob, James (the two of them Gecko and Salmacisà) Tony (also two of theml) , our Baldies (two missed tries), Snowie, and so many more on this side of the Atlantic.
 
I'd also love to get together in a PA meeting across the Atlantic (somewhere in Vermont, to give equal chance to our Canadians and the BosNyWash metropolis to attend.
 
Generally the best bunch of virtual friends around, really.Hug
 
And Chris (Syz) and Martin (Alu) for our third meeting in a few weeks at the RIO festivalClap
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well I'm meeting Man-Erg and Postingismylife in April, at the VdGG gig at Barbican.  If anyone else is going to be in attendance, then there is a chance of meeting you there.

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

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?

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

I can't sadly.

See the attached for what we have in store for us when they tour next month. If you've not seen this before you'll either laugh or cry.

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

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.
