rocking kitchen-sink modernists from Baltimore, Farquhar. In
addition, there will be a pre-show performance on Friday night with
Land of Chocolate and Freehand.

Tickets ($100 weekend, $55 day pass) are available at
www.progday.com. You can also order tickets and merchandise from

The above is a cut and paste from the PMS group boards. I haven't been around much lately, so don't know if anyone is going to this. ?. Apparently Amon Duul had to cancel as they couldn't get visas in time.

That is one great lineup! Wish I could go!

I can't imagine you are making the trip all the way from there are you Mossy?

Love the "Dutch chart toppers" line....no Akkerman I think, but still a great band.

Salem Hill blew mw away at Rosfest....I was considering making the 6.5 hr drive, but can't go. 1998 is still the only one I attended, just got my 1998 ProgDay CD (with a sampler from this year).

(don't get me started on Land of Schlockolate).....

I'm still debating between NEARfest and ROSfest. Progday sounds good, but I only got so many airfares available...

I'm saving my pennies for a different trip. :D

Hell a guy can dream can't he?

[mossy]

Unfortunately not, Rick.

Sounds like a great way to pass the long weekend, tho. :rolleyes:

Another year, with maybe a moonie or two attending to raise the motivation.
