Hello fellow progheads.
I just got an e-mail that a friend succeeded to get tickets for the Symforce Festival on September 15th 2007 (in 013 in Tilburg in The Netherlands) including bands like Riverside, Pendragon, Beardfish, Lady Lake and Lazuli, what a line-up
Any PA members who would like to meet and have a talk ... or take a beer?

If PC is there I will be too. Too bad if it's neo-prog kingdom
Actually I think Angelo lives right by there too.
Gotta check my concert agenda, though , cos I think there is a Nektar concert at Spirit Of 66 in Verviers around those dates.

The previous days I spoke a lot of progheads and many go or intend to go to the Symforce Festival, I hope it will be a commercial success so perhaps next years bands like Nexus or Le Orme will be on the list
Sean, the coffee shops in Tilburg are eagerly waiting on your visit
Prog-chick, any favorite(s) in the festival line-up?
Glass House, I heard that there are 3 stages, hardly time to take a beer ...

Well i and Antennas with quite a few friends will be there.I really look forward to see some of the other PA members . So i'll stay tuned here to see if we can fix some meeting place (if others are interested).

well for me......... I think you all know I am a Pendies girl through and through! But other than them I am VERY excited about finally seeing Riverside, I have managed to miss them a few times, so this will be great!
I am doing three other fests before then , so nearer the time I will give it all some thought!
Looking forward to meeting folk from PA and some DPRP friends there too!

Good to see you on Symforce, Dirk and Antennas
Well Prog-chick, I am also a Pendragon fan, saw them in 1986 during the The Jewel tour and since then many times. I even spoke with the band after a concert, they were very pleased with the marihuana friendly policy in Holland ! I am delighted about the DVD Past And Present, I hope they will play the entire The Jewel album, still my favorite one I go for Riverside but I am also interested in Lazuli (they have released a captivating prog folk/world music DVD) and Beardfish (good stories from the USA concerts) and I am sure progheads will be pleased with 'our' Lady Lake

I just heard that the Symforce Festival is organised by Belgian proghead John Bollenberg, I worked with him for many years during the iO Pages days (Dutch progrock magazine), he has done a lot of interviews with known and legendary progrock bands/ musicians, he has contacts all over the world so that explains the amazing line up on this festival
Congratulations with the tickets Glass House, we will meet again

@ member_profile.asp?PF=11561&FID=44 - LeInsomniac : Tough luck I don't have a spare room at my house. However, if you want I can ask around for cheap accomodation, after all I only live 30 kilometers from Tilburg and I know some people there who know about places that can't be found on the web. Just PM me what you're looking for.
@Emdiar: no it doesn't. this is a thread about going there together, not about announcing the festival.
And I already proposed to Tony to wear a read rose and a news paper under our arms to recognise each other

Careful there, chappie.... I'm actually planning an 'Angelo Tour': Symforce on Sep 15, Rush on Okt 16, and pRockfest on Nov 10/11. Not sure about that last one, but don't leave me in Tilburg on my own just because of Rush hour...

On the other hand if there is a movement to get together some days before the festival i can find probably find time for that myself (can't speak for the others). If i remember correctly the festival starts 2 pm so we can also get together at for instance 12 in one of the Tilburg pubs.
@ Erik, you mentioned an afterparty at your house after the festival, would that be the next day or directly after the festival (would be difficult because we'll come by train)? Anyway, seems great to me, Antennas was also enthousiastic about it.

My proposal for a Symforce Festival After Party at my home is:
September 16th on Sunday, between 1200 and 1700 (not in the evening because the next day I have a day shift and have to wake up at 0530 AM ..)
How does this sound to you Dirk, Antennas, Glass House, Angelo, Lelnsomniac and perhaps Emdiar?

If all goes well I'll be there Erik.
If I'll survive the holiday to Tenerife with the family that is.

I really wish I could join you, seen as the venue is not that far from fair Rome. However, I'll be back from the US on Sept 3, and I have to sit tight for a while and work as hard as I can on my dissertation. I've already had enough problems with the university not to expect a sudden, very tight deadline for handing over my work, and I don't want to be caught unawares. Hope there'll be other opportunities in Europe, though... At least before I move to the US for good!

You never know, but you might still get your chance Raffaella.
@Erik: 16th between 12:00 and 17:00 sounds fine to me. I have to teach courses two days in a row (9:00-20:00) afterwards, and this schedule allows me to get to bed around 19:00
@Miguel (get a user id I can remember next time ): Given that you are staying in Valkenswaard - let's decide whether we pick a train to Erik's, or my car.
@nobody specific: Will ProgChick be there the 16th, to help Antennas lessen the negative gender ratio?

To me it seems that the spontaneous idea of an
After Party is moving towards solid reality, great
For me it's the second time that a PA member is visiting my home, last year Norbert from Hungary visited my home, together we were carried away with rare footage from early Genesis, I still see Norbert his delighted face ! And now we are arranging that Lelnsomaniac from Portugal is the second foreign PA member at my home, I am looking forward to it! By the way, my best friend is half Portuguese, I will try to do my welcome speech in Portuguese

What I wouldn't give to be able to come, but then it's mighty hard for a college freshman to get an international flight to see a bunch of bands none of his friends have even heard of (there's a number I haven't heard of). The professors might have an issue with that. Silly professors.

I will then slip aboard in the bottom, displacing as many pets as I must. The owners should have used kennels anyway. I will disembark in Amsterdam, where I will suddenly become famished.

(now using Erik style of adressing PA members)
Angelo - It is almost clear that maybe I wont be staying in Vaakensvaard but maybe with a cool dutch family in ...Tilburg! Which would be great for all, In my summer work in a restaurant, I mentioned to a dutch family that i was going there in september, the sayed they were from Tilburg and that if I was staying in vaakesvaard which is far away and trips would be costly they invited me to stay at their house for three or four days, lucky me! and lucky you wont have to taxi drive me
Erik - U bet that after party has to happen, combining the fact that you want it so as for 1800yareyay and rivertree of course it would be great for you to come the more the merrier , for rivertree is easier to get there, I mean if im going you can as well
To Glass house, Dirk, Antennas, Angelo and Erik, let us discuss better the itinerary, and the clothes subject, Erik said an anglagard shirt for him, I'm going or with a The Who shirt or a The Doors shirt, (trying to acquire a FrankZappa shirt with him sticking a finger up his nose) i cant find that manny progwise shirts in portugal, maybe ill acquire them in Holland!!! However i dont know about you and dont know about your standings in this subject but i must make a stop in a cofee shop, Im sorry if im ofending anyone but its my choice in regard to this non-approachable subject in the majority of the world, this topic aside(which i felt i needed to approach) I'm waiting for a big prog party for when I arrive tilburg in 13th of september. Its up to the dutch commitive to start working just joking
Erik - again I hope for that portuguese line! And of course to meet your portuguese friend and meet new people as well.
Just remembered that SeanTrane said he was going as well to the Symforce festival!

That's great news, for both of us - in a sense Let's see later whether we can/should/will travel to the after party together. If I'm not mistaken, Erik lives in Den Haag (The Hague) - which is a bit further from Tilburg, and train connections are usually not that great on Sundays.

I might be fairly busy, there is always so much to do, but I am easily spotted, I'll be the "english chick" !!!

I am really looking forward to this trip though, I can not wait to see Riverside...... and looking forward to meeting some of you PA-ers!

Main Stage:
16.00-17.15 Focus

19.40-21.10 Pendragon

It looks like I will be mostly avoiding the main stage (I've seen Focus many times) and I don't want to see again Pendragon and TFK
In Green are most likely what I'll check out in piority and in yellow my second choices!
Not sure what Aurora Project is about, and never heard of Bootcu!

Sean Trane you will of course meet with all of us right before the festival? For the the P.A. Official Meeting Beers & Beers & Stuff??? (the official name i invented)
About your Symforce program, I unfortunately wont be acompanying you most of the time, cause I never saw those major acts, and will prioritize those firstly.

If someone could buy the ticket for me, I can wire him the money! If I can find the way to get there by road! Is there some parking nearby?
I might also leave early and head home to Brussels for the girlfriend! After all, it will have been almost a full week without her and I should be experiencing withdrawal syndromes! (sorry for the after-party Erik! But I'll be heading southbound after not Northbound !!)
I might have missed this PA OM Beers& stuff!! When and where is this?

Oh really well its supposed to happen at least in the day itself before the festival begins, but for me and some others at least might happen the day before. Its just a matter of time and will for it.
Now the place...thats a job for the dutch comitive to find out

God, why did I have to be a prog fan in the Southeastern United States? Why couldn't I have been a rap fan, then Atlanta would be the perfect place to live. Why did you curse me with taste, Lord?!

Martin, will be great to see you again.
The club 013 is smack in the middle of the center. Right beneath it is a huge parking space, so no worries there, I think it also is right across the train station.

I'll have to pass on that one - the 15th is my sons 4th birth day, so it'll be family visits all weekend. Oh well, I go to the Rush concert in Rotterdam on the 16th to compensate...

I can sleep on your balcony or at your neighbours, if sleep at all!
Angelo, cool for the parking spots!!
