[atlantaprog] Re: KC, Tunnels, etc.

I have to agree, Allen!

I saw KC the last time they played the VP, and as good
as that show was, I liked this one even more!

My wife went along, and she found the more "ambient"
bits very appealing!

Though I am not familiar w/ any of the new material
yet, it sounded great!

The real highlight was seeing a lot of people I
haven't seen in a long while!  Though I still missed
some of them (Veronica and Daniel Hughes...where were
you guys???).  :-P

Anyway, I doubt I will make it to the March meeting,
as my schedule still keeps me working late for
now...but by April or May I should be back.

We need to start tying in our group with the next
installment of RogueFest in July...that and any other
prog shows that happen between now and then...I heard
Peter Gabriel is coming to Chastain in April?

Tlak to you all later!

Cheers,

Bill
