It was great seeing so many old friends this past weekend: Iggy and Tom (and Krista too!), another top-notch event; my com-padre Gary Sauer and his lovely family; John Jowitt, my good friend; Frode, all the way from Norway; Stan and the UK contingent; Buster; Steven the Kilt Man and his wife Jo; the guys from Florida; the Midwest gang; Buster of course; Sharon; Jonas and Krister; Clive (enjoyed our conversation immensely); Greg and April from the Prog Palace; and so many more I'm sure I'm forgetting (Frank at the pizza place across the street, YOU ROCK!). New friends as well: all the guys from Magic Pie (thanks Eirik for the ego boost and the recognition); Euan Lowson, formerly of Pallas (Alan's "nutter" description doesn't even come close); Nick Barrett, we look forward to next year; Sarhan, Krzysiek, and Wojtek of Satellite; the rest of Pallas, especially Graeme (just remember, mine is bigger Winking ); and all the rest of the band members who are so friendly and accommodating to everyone.

I've got over 400 pictures to sort through, and hope to have the website updated in about a week or so (once I'm finished with final exams). Next up: Spock's Beard this weekend in Chicago, and then CalProg in July. God, I love prog!
