I'm in...I'm making my wife come with me.

Who's coming with me? ?

Does she know who Rush is?

[Mjcpr]

Does she know who Rush is?

Yes, they were popular when she was going through the change.

[Newbomb Turk]

I'm one of that few also.

[r5TPsooner]

I'm one of that few also.

Count me in as well.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Well, it turns out I'm a gonna be there as well.

Phil? Check your PMbox.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Give us a report. (ie, is Geddy's voice still strong?)I saw them in '90 or '91 here in PHX. They were good, but the audience was out of control noisy.

[bluedogok]

April 23 here in Austin, it will make the 7th time that I have seen them. At least this time it should not be 110 degrees outside like last August when I didn't go.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Does she know who Rush is?

Yes, after all, she's married to me!
And she went with me, my parents and my younger brother to see them in San Antonio last August ...and she got bonus points for going to see them while having a miscarriage.


LAS...can you get me my request?

[Paperclip]

how much are tickets?

$85.00, $65.00, $49.50

[StoopTroup]

Not bad.

Sounds like fun too.

I haven't seen them in years.

Do they still play their classics?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Hell yes!

[LosAngelesSooner]

Yes, after all, she's married to me!
And she went with me, my parents and my younger brother to see them in San Antonio last August ...and she got bonus points for going to see them while having a miscarriage.


LAS...can you get me my request?

I can try...but autographs are tough to come by.

But I may be able to hook a couple of people up with a meet and greet.

And Geddy's voice has sounded better on this tour than their last several tours. Probably the best since Grace Under Pressure.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Oh please oh please! I'd love you forever (in a non-ghey way) if you could do that!!!!

[LosAngelesSooner]

I will check and see.
