Hey everybody. I haven't been on the boards in a while, but I just found about this great event and wanted to pass along to everyone here. There is going to be an intimate gathering of Rush fans on Labor Day weekend in the Pocono Mountains in PA. There will be two Rush tribute bands playing, both of whom I've seen multiple times, and both are outstanding. See the flyer for other special guests including David Barrett and Michael Sadler (Saga). Here is a link to the flyer for the event:

Earlybird cost is $259 per person, which includes buffet meals and overnight accommodations in a summer camp style setting. After May 31, the cost will be $299 per person.

 

I bought my ticket here:

I know several awesome Rush peeps who are going to this, and would love to meet up with some TRFers there as well. If you are going please let me know so we can make it a point to meet up!

Oooh, thanks! I probably won't be able to go as it is a big family event the same weekend but we are not sure exactly what is happening with that so you never know. Not far away from the Poconos, so I'm glad to have the information! Edited by blueschica

"Intimate gathering"? Oh my!

 

Haha! Intimate as in everyone attending should be able to meet and talk with everyone else attending at some point during the weekend. (I believe they are limiting the event to 250 people maximum).

 

I know what you meant. ;) It just sounded funny.

Sounds great, though I am not into Rush tribute bands.

 

Is there a Rush convention anywhere at anytime? There must be several.

 

Thanks!

 

Not sure what you mean.... by my interpretation, this event IS a Rush convention. I don't know of any others but if they do exist they will almost certainly also feature tribute bands. (RushCon always featured a tribute band). And they will almost certainly NOT also feature the likes of David Barrett and Michael Sadler. The weekend is about more than just tribute bands for me though. It's about meeting and hanging out with some of the finest people on the planet - Rush fans!

the only things that are stopping me from going are 1. money 2. humidity and 3. not being able to carry camping gear on a plane

Just bumping this up as a reminder. At precisely 21:12 this evening the price increases from $259 to $299. Hey, 40 bucks is 40 bucks....

Apart from the fact of not being within 3000 miles of it, the words "acupuncture" and "Chinese medicine" caused me to make a sharp exit.

Emphasis on "sharp" I'm guessing! :LOL:

 

I didn't really notice that in the flyer... but I can assure you that being poked with needles will NOT be the highlight of my Rush Camp weekend! ;)

Not seeing a Friday only option. (The only option I will consider.) Did I miss it?

I'm guessing they weren't expecting that anyone would be interested in Friday only. I'm not sure what they'll be able to do, but I'll pass along your request and let you know what they say. I'd imagine they can make something available.

I appreciate that but I just had to allocate some emergency funds to my car so I'm SOL for this (and some other things) right now.
