I would think that this will be a 'huge' event with him coming.
Well, even if only a fraction of the huge "Fridiac"
contingent shows up, it will be big - especially if his fans who were never able to attend his previous Fest appearances show up.
But there's also another side of the coin. I've spoken to quite a few regular Fest attendees who were originally planning on going this year but who are now dead set against it because they feel that, with Frid having been absent from the Fests from so long, the event could be a nightmare in 1001 different ways. One can only hope otherwise. But having seen first hand how some past Fests have been, shall we say, less than ideal experiences due to the various and often unforeseen pressures, I can't say I'm unable to see where they may have a point. Though honestly, these people have been lucky enough to have seen/met Frid at several past events, so seeing him again isn't as much of a priority for them as it might be for someone who's never experienced the pleasure...
