I'm guessing they'll have Jacob Moon, David Barrett, Brandon Dyke, the usuals who do the Rush camp every year.

How have I never heard of Rush Camp?

Neil should have his own postage stamp. I don't collect stamps, but I would buy a Neil Peart stamp.

I think Rush Camp has just been around for the last 3 years or so. It's held at some place in the Pennsylvania Poconos where they have cabins, etc.

A Neil stamp would be awesome!

Brandon Dyke is involved with Rush camp. I would have gone if I could walk. If nothing else just to see Brandon. He’s a very nice guy.

A stamp would be cool. I wonder if being from Canada would influence a decision to do something like that.

More motivation to get that passport.

There is a Canadian Rush stamp, at least.

As much as I'd like to attend one of these events, it's not my bag per se.

I've been at events, where it feels like there's a 'one-upmanship' mentality and being sized up.

It reminds me of being in high-school in a way and avoiding reunions.

I would like to go. However, I see what you mean.

My fear is being subjected to Rush covers delivered by old dudes with spectacles and ponytails.

YYNot - make it happen please.

[Laurabw]

Yeah. I need to see which doing this.

Yes Josh, exactly!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Damn it.  I really want to attend and I have some great friends to see in Toronto too.  UGH!!

My oldest daughter is graduating with honors that weekend.

I've probably been redundant but I have to be a dad first.

Duh

Unless I can get a red eye out of California I am out.
