I guess it could have been worse. It could have been Eagle Fly Free

Celldaor had apologized for some gremlins during their first few songs. So they actually played Eagle Fly Free. Hit it spot on too.
The all star jam rocked. It was better than the little all-singers jam they did last year.
I don't think there is a King Diamond song Nils K Rue CAN'T sing perfectly. I was still tickled that he actually told me that on friday what they were going to sing.... or was it thursday....thursday evening was a blur, sorry.

Yeah, he pretty much did a spot on rendition on Eidolon's The Oath. His chest voice sounded exactly like King's

I most definitely forgot all about you telling me they were covering King Diamond until Saturday...then I got excited in the pants. HO-LEE SHIT, that was awesome. You guys should have seen the look on Jessica's face when Welcome Home kicked in: priceless. It was a mixture of "what the fuck?" and "I think just crapped myself." 
The highlight of the fest for me was definitely Firewind. I absolutely LOVE Allegiance and, you know, that Gus G guy ain't so bad himself.  They totally killed live and I was jumping around like a little fucking fangirl the whole time. The poor guys behind me got hairlashed once every 10 seconds or so...hopefully they got over it.
Also pretty kickass were Communic and Redemption. I'd seen Redemption once before (read: bus pee incident), but since they were opening for Dream Theater they didn't have the time to play Sapphire live. Once again, HO-LEE SHIT. I actually teared up during that song and lost a little bit of metal street cred accordingly. It was definitely amazing to see that song live. Communic...hmm. What can I say? They fucking RULED. I was obsessed with Waves of Visual Decay for a long time earlier this year, so I was stoked to see them. Played everything I wanted to hear, and top of that, they were awesome dudes to boot!
Fun times were had by all at the afterparties, especially Friday's, when my buddy Scott got so wasted that he horked in the hotel bathroom a few times and passed out against the wall next to Bill from Cellador. Many excellent pictures were taken and no one died, so it was a good night. My favorite quote from that night (Bill, totally wasted): "It is true, I am the shit. I am the greatest thing on the planet. Do I know you? I like you...come sit here with me." Saturday's was also excellent, though there was no booze besides the jungle juice! And of course we couldn't get into any of the rooms, so we hung out on the hotel's outdoor patio! Ernie from Halcyon Way spent a good chunk of the party trying to find a place to go with booze, and he eventually came back and told us Redemption were hanging at another hotel a few blocks away. He and our buddy Guil up and left, only to call later and say there were just sitting in the lobby there drinking water. The cops showed up right around then, so we headed back to our hotel. I had a great time regardless...sorry we kept you up so late, Peter.
I was bummed to come back, but happy at the same time to be going back to normalcy. There's no way I could party like that all the time! Unless, of course, I started making a partying routine...not such a bad idea, now that I think about it.

| So all the bands and fans were staying in the same hotel? Did you have to share rooms if there was limited availability? Who bought the booze? Were martinis, or good red wine, available? Could the hotel toilets handle a lot of vomit, and Charmin? I'm just trying to see what I missed, since these are very important to me (I don't share rooms, with anyone)

If it wasn't for the fact that I had to get everything ready for the long trip back, I probably would have stayed. Now I know how things will go for next time.

The highlights for me at ProgPower were definitely Sonata Arctica and After Forever, with Communic and Redemption providing performances that sound even better than on CD, if that was ever possible. Cellador was also very good and they're pretty down to earth guys...at least when they're not passed out like Bill was.
