The Shattered Fortress thing has been really interesting to me as well. First it's a "once in a lifetime" thing for the cruise. Then, it becomes a "few times in a lifetime" with several festival bill headline spots. Now it's a small tour.
More is better, right? Well, I don't know. I don't go on the cruises, and I don't fly to other cities to go see the prog festivals, so I personally don't care as much - I'm not spending any money to see this thing debuted "once in a lifetime" around every corner. But I do know a few people who spend quite a bit of money going to the prog cruises and traveling to these prog festivals, and I would be curious to hear if they aren't a little peeved by having the same event constantly sucking the air out of the room.
