Actually, it would be a good idea to have a Progarchives meeting point at the next Genesis reformation concert (see my thread of April 1st) so we could all have a beer (or ten) than belt out all our frustrations built up in our forum arguments, kill each other, so that way , progheads will be an endangered species, and more attention will be paid to have better music brought to mass medias, so that the vlast few alive will be kept alive until slow but irreversible extinction will eradicate us for good.

On a more serious note, I think that some UK members met at a few concerts ! We could imagine having a few members meeting at a given concert in say London or Paris for Europeans and a few others at a concert in say NY or Montreal (apparently a lot of central Canadians - Quebec and Ontario). I suppose it might be tougher for members living in the far east (Martin and Gatot) and for Southern Americans (Mirco , Cesar and Iván and more) ------------- 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 |

I ran into the Owl at last years Cal-prog. Garion and I, along with our significant others, are gonna meet at this years Cal-Prog. Coincidently, our seats ended up side by side. Odd, very odd. We purchased tickets a couple of days apart and I actually returned the first pair because they were too far stage right, I wanted center. The second pair were adjacent to Garion's seats, smack dab in the middle. Weird. Cygnus only lives 2 hours away, but he's not old enough to drink beer yet. |

I get up to Sac a couple of times a year. Usually on business. I'll let you know when I'm heading that way and we'll have a couple of pints. Ever been to Makuni's in Folsom. Best sushi around... The brewery outside Old Town has a good stout.

Sounds like a good plan. I think the place you're talking about is the River City Brewing Company. There's another new excellent brew pub in town--Pyramid Brew Pub has opened in downtown Sac which is a good place to hang out and taste different beers. So, yeah, let me know when you're in town and we'll make a plan. ------------- "The red polygon's only desire / is to get to the blue triangle." |

There don't seem to be many prog fans in my area of Michigan, but I do travel alot (my dad is a missions pastor and I go to a high quality college prep school that goes on many trips). Two years ago I was in Quito for a week, last year I was in London and Paris, this year I'll be in Cambodia, next year I'm probably going to London and Edinburgh, my youth group goes down to stay on houseboats in Tennessee for a weekend every year, I've been to Australia twice (although I was 1 and 7 at those times) and Jamaica (as well as the occasional trips to Canada or Mexico). I also visit Seattle almost every year to visit my grandparents. I am probably going to see Jethro Tull when they come to Michigan this November, so I might run into some people from here. |
