Have a look/listen to the set-opening number...Frost* Set-opener "Heartstrings" (new song) (//http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrGeEImdgc)

Pedro, you is da man, and a bit of a hero actually.
Gutted that the band went on stage while there were lots of people still queueing outside, to get in (yeah I know I should have camped outside all afternoon). I missed this completely and got in just as they kicked in to Hyperventilate.
Thanks for filling in the blanks. A great gig to boot! Let's hope it happens again in a Frost*iverse near us sometime soon?
No worries.
Please don't think that Frost* went on too early.
The frankly silly timetable was mandated mostly by the curfew, which I think was 10:30...or everyone had to be out by 11pm or something.
For some reason, the organisers thought that 70 minutes per band was enough and working back from the end time meant that Frost* had to start at 7:30...or not play everything.
So start they had to.
The big mistake in my view was having doors so late. 6pm doors for a 7pm start would have been better, with longer sets.
BUT we must not forget the over-riding importance of pre-gig drinking to, it seems, everyone except me.
I'm there for the music, to chat with folk and buy merch...I can have a drink any time. Besides, I am almost always driving anyway.
I know this puts me in the minority...but I'm cool with that. There's only room for a minority at the front of the crowd! ;)

And me, from what I expect to go completely tits up, I had a brill evening, despite only a nodding hello to Philly, I didn't seem to be near anyone else. I was stage right, in front of Blunders (belting position) at the front, my only problem was some hubble wielding hooded hobbit ;) who kept popping up infront of me. ;)

Well, to be honest, drinking at the Craft Beer Co was very much the secondary activity: it was exactly the meeting and chatting to people that I reckon the great majority were there for, and in much more convivial surroundings than The Mausoleum of Doom, aka the Scala.
And since I was more or less right behind your becrouched self at the front, the two aims were not entirely incompatible ;)
But I completely agree that (a) the start could have been earlier, (b) the doors could have been opened earlier in advance of the kickoff, and (c) the sets could have been longer (JM and NK might disagree though).
At the risk of sounding churlish, particularly to Twang who put this whole thing together, I'm not convinced that this double-header idea worked out so brilliantly in the end. The two bands played very well, no doubt about it, but much of the "other stuff" was not quite how I think most of us expected / hoped.

Mike's hair is getting long!! :D

HaHa Mikey I thought I spotted a flash go off a couple of times out of my peripheral vision thinking did someone just take my photo but as JamesA had done a couple of times before the gig and he was over that side of the stage I thought it was him :lol:

Sober as a judge here too! Squiffyness stops the prog going in!
And you always go and break the seal during the really complex odd time bit

Where were you? Near Philly & Living forever?
We were in front of John Beck's keyboards (in their pushed together configuration).
