Already five bands I want to see and none of the headliner slots filled yet! Might want to invest in a gold ticket this year

First headliner announced: a UK band called Caravan. Just in case this might interest someone.

Hehe, kind of gotta do some PR as I'm involved in that festival.

Excellent signing - they were a major highlight of ProgDay

Edit: Actually the banner for the RoSfest site and the announcement disagree. The banner for the site has them Saturday but the announcements I've read all say Sunday. I do realize I am just quibbling here (or I do now) .

It'll be interesting to see where the mix up is. When I was asked to write the press release a few weeks back, TYS was scheduled for the Saturday slot. Which is what I wrote as well. Since then the press release has been edited, and either there's been a change of plans or the editor has mixed the days.

For the entertainment at the after party Friday night, local Philadelphia band Shadow Merchant have been booked.

It is rewarding to be involved indeed, even if my role is of a distinctly minor nature.
