We made it back home after two grueling days on the road. Our cats are no worse off as they love to travel in the car. One more festival left to host this year, the Clinton Art and Music Festival. It will be held August 23rd. this is the 3rd year for this event and as years gone by it is once again free. Loads of great art, food and of course fantastic music.

Then we start planning and plotting the course for POWER OF PROG II and the 2nd Progressive Rock Hall of Fame Awards Presentation Show which was a big success this year. We already have some great bands in the works for next year's event.

We made many friends at this year's festival and we would once again like to thank all the wonderful bands for a job well done. The attendance was small but they played like they were entertaining a full house.

However we were deeply saddened that after months of planning, preparation and promotion, that we did not get to hear our friends Cathedral perform. Just as they were starting to do sound-check a tree in town took out some power lines so we lost power throughout the community. For some odd reason the only building that had any power was the KAC but the power kept spiking so we had no choice but to pull the plug on the last performance to prevent any damage not only to our sound company's equipment but the equipment of Cathedral as well. It was very unfortunate that Cathedral were not able to perform at this great event. We hope that in the near future we can get them to come back and perform at a Power of Prog Festival till then we wish them the best for being extremely professional and gracious about the whole fiasco.

Please stay tuned as we will have many photos and even some videos coming soon!
Peace Love and Revolution

Thanks for organizing such a great event. We were there Sunday, and we're sorry that Cathederal were nixed by the Weather. We certainly want to make sure the drummer got a big bottle of Vodka like he was asking for, if you have a way for us to get it to him, let me know so we can make that happen. Thanks, Russ
