Rod in Toronto Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Most of you know I met Alex and Geddy at an event just over a month ago. Felicia and Earl were there too. It took a while, but finally my recap of the event was published today. Check it out!!! https://www.sonicperspectives.com/features/grapes-under-pressure-iv/?fbclid=IwAR134mt0rQykyX59XSfqV0Dz4I2EtN1wX4CK-9SNWBG5y2DytlhxB0FUrLE 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Rod, your writing is awesome! I felt like I was right there with you all. Thanks for sharing your account of the day the rest of us are still dreaming about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Great read Rod. I hope they do something like this again. If so. I will want to try and be a part of it. What a great experience it was for you and 149 other fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Rod, your writing is awesome! I felt like I was right there with you all. Thanks for sharing your account of the day the rest of us are still dreaming about! Thank you! I'm always concerned and self-conscious about my writing - not about making mistakes, because Word prevents me from making them, but I'm always afraid that native English speakers may find my "tone" a bit naive. But I'm glad you enjoyed it! If it's not too much to ask, could everyone share this in their social media? I have asked SRO Management for an interview with Geddy and/or Alex in the future, and the more attention the article gets, the more chances I'll have of talking to either of them.

Syrinx Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Great read Rod. I wish I had signed up now. Maybe next time! I have had the good fortune of meeting all three over the years, but certainly not in any situation that got that much face time. What a great experience for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! Holy Shit Balls guys! Nice "Eyes Wide Shut" pic. LOL! Was I looking up to the Universe to give thanks for that moment? For that priceless day? I finally was able to read your recap Rod. Brilliant as usual with your amazing writing skills. A day I will cherish for the rest of my life. That autographed wine bottle will go with me into my grave. RUSH ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS! I wanted to raise my Wayne Gretzky 99 whiskey and ginger beer cocktail into the air. Delicious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
