Is anyone here planning on going?

If they suddenly move it to Jacksonville, then yes.

Sorry, not going to happen. Portnoy is going to offer the audience a unique surprise. It should be cool. Don't ask, can't say....

[PolyOstinato]

I've now been told that I can say. Portnoy will be performing with Ty Tabor of Kings X and ?!?!? - my mind suddenly went blank. Anyhow they'll be performing a bunch of Rush tunes, and perhaps some other stuff too. Is anyone from here going? It should be incredible.

I've read that it was going to be filmed. Hope it is true.
If you are going to this great event > please post your reviews.

I can't do anything that weekend. I was planning on seeing Clutch in Milwaukee and coming back to this that sunday, but I have two hockey games.

I don't mind missing clutch, but oh man. This is something I'm really bummed to miss.

errr..that was this weekend, wasn't it? ****.

What might that be, that he actually might PLAY drums during a clinic? Good for him! :p
