Hmm. I wonder who's behind this. I used to promote prog shows in Pittsburgh back in the day, y'know.
I do believe you mentioned that to me once, but I don't think I ever much followed up on getting info and stories from you.
A lot of people seem to think it's Jim Pitulski and Eric Snyder from IOMA, but I'm hearing more that Bob Snyder, who used to be involved with IOMA, is one of the forces behind this...no, wait...not necessarily. This is from Chad @ NEARfest:
"Bob Snyder, formerly of IOMA, is involved, but I believe not from an organization standpoint."
So I dunno, really.
Yeah, I owe you stories from that.
Jim and Eric I heard were leaving town I thought, with IOMA shutting down, seems unlikely that they'd be involved.
And I know Bob, if he's the guy who I'm thinking of.
I don't know if they're leaving town, or just shifting away from IOMA.
Thought I heard they were going to New York and getting involved with some new label? Umbrello I think.
Yeah, they are involved with that. I was not sure if that meant a move out of the area. I mean, their involvement with InsideOut didn't mean they moved to Germany ;-)
But you may well be right...probably are.
Jim's been threatening a move back to New York about once a year since I've known him. He's from Pittsburgh originally, but that's where he was based while managing Dream Theater before that went south. I think he misses the excitement.
Makes a lot of sense.
