I haven't been to a ProgDay yet though I certainly intend to at some stage. I've only really got back into this scene heavily in the last few years. In 2010 I did Nearfest, then last year I did RIO & Cuneifest, this year it's RIO & Nearfest.

I was on the verge of going to ProgDay last year (I think) while Uz Jsme Doma were still on the bill.

Next year depends on the RIO, ProgDay & ROSfest line-ups. I'll probably do two of them. Given my lack of interest in Neo (though I do like a lot of dark symphonic, especially if it's instrumental) ProgDay is looking pretty likely at this stage.

Progday is worth going just for the BBQ and the beer.   I love it because I can drink, read, eat, and listen to great music all at the same time (in the shade of course)

We seem to have settled into a twice a year festival schedule as well.  I guess it will be 3 or 4  for Raff since she can come and go as she pleases but I must work haha.  I haven't decided whether driving up to Wilmington early on Saturday and leaving again Sunday is really worth it, even with that lineup.

We did go to Rosfest last year, and that was a hoot and half. Some of it was schlock IMO but it actually was extremely diverse.  Both Raff and I lament missing Discipline this year, especially since we both REALLY REALLY like the new Discipline album. If you haven't seen it Raff did a crackling review of it.
