Definitely reserve those tickets if one wants to go. The orion is as intimate venue as you will find, it is in a warehouse bay for heaven's sake. Incredible sound, best sounding venue of the ones I've been to. Mike does a great job, one reason so many live albums have been cut there. Discipline was incredible at NJ Proghouse, I heard many attributed that to the intimate venue there. Should be even better at Orion! Looking forward to seeing everyone (Ian!) again and perhaps checking out Baltimore's Red Light district again after the show hahaha. |

Raff just told me so I'll pass it on. It is now sold out! Hopefully some of you were able to get tickets, it'd be nice to meet some of you. It does seem the usual crowd at the Orion are more the hard core proggies and tend to reside on the other forum but if any of you all did get tickets and are able to make it let me know and we'll get together. |

Would've been cool if there'd been bus lines from Denmark to Washington/Baltimore, but The States are probably one of the few countries we're never going to build a bridge to. Lord knows, if it was feasible we'd try. (crazy Danes and their bridges) Have fun though you guys. I would've loved to meet some of you (I imagine Ian and I would have a lot to talk about musically) - the legendary Micky and Raff duo included  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Definitely looking forward to Nov 8. I have seen three of the four bands on stage, with the exception of The Knells - whose debut album I reviewed for DPRP earlier this year. Great stuff all around, and the company will also be great. Man, it feels good to be back! Four years ago I believed I'd never "set foot" on this forum again. Even if things had gone sour before I left, now the bad feelings seem to have evaporated, and I realized that I missed this place much more than I thought. |

yeah. As much as I am looking forward to the music I'm looking forward to what the Prog Chef, the Baking Broad (haha what a trip she is), the Pook Kitchen and Burch Pantry bring! One can't enough good music on an empty stomach! |

Indeed! You coming alone or bringing the prog daughter with you hahah. It is really cool to see her so much into this music. Making a day trip or staying the night? We love the Baltimore night life and are staying over. We made our way through what has to be the 'red light' district of Baltimore one time we were there on the way to meet one of the Orion groups for dinner after a show late one night and it was quite fun and definitely interesting haha. |

we are quite inseparable.  Great to see her back, like me, I know she missed some of the people here we lost touch with after we made the jump to FB. |
