Don't ride a roller coaster with a hangover...

You were a very nice shade of green.

You are actually fortunate that I didn't pick you up that day.. No reason for me to be driving around in that state..

Hey Prime, thanks for all your work on this thread. I'm not sure I met you. I was having a hard time "making the rounds" and getting to meet everyone. Plus, I'm kinda shy... sarcasm.gif

 

I'm standing between Soddy and Nadroach.

laugh.gif that's ok. it was pretty chaotic. i was wishing i had paid more attention to the san diego thread. doh.gif

we partied for a bit in the parking lot with some good rush people after the show. trink39.gif

i hope some of them find their way here. smile.gif

 

i don't think Liz is on TRF, yet.

she doesn't think she'll have much time for the board,

but said she would check it out. wink.gif

 

we also met a most entertaining person we called the "pizza guy."

Liz has video of this character. rofl3.gif

I met SO many wonderful folks, but I have to say that some of the BEST times were with the TRF folks...the Friday night dinner was spectacular!  Thanks to pedro wub.gif it was a huge success...I know we've got a group pic of that someplace: me, pedro, Cyg, Digi, sunny, Midway, Rolinda, and Sully - thank you all for making my vacation so amazing. heart.gif

wub.gif it was a fair trade, M'Lady. cheer.gif

 

new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif great to see you again, too! cosmo.gif

Oh man that looks like it was fun. I'm so pissed that I had to miss the after party but I had too many things going on the next day. I had to drive my family to Disneyland and if you've ever had to drive from Vegas to LA on a Sunday, you know what that is like. angry.gif

 

Anyway, it was so nice to finally meet all of you even it the meeting was brief. I now have many faces to associate with the many names. biggrin.gif I'll make sure I'm available for the next tour.

 

Rush sounded great IMO that night. Ged was a little off during the second verse of Witchhunt (or maybe those other two guys were off). The keys seemed behind the beat or something. Otherwise, they played very well and seemed in high spirits. My friends who came with me (not really Rush fans but wanted to add the band to the list of concerts they had seen) were surprised that Neil never smiled until YYZ at the end of the concert when Ged or Al walked toward the drum riser facing Neil.

 

Anyway, I have the set lists in my phone along with what guitar Al played for each song. I'll post it later. Was that the Howard Roberts I saw during TWTWB? It was either the HR or a brown sunburst LP. It had a stop tail bridge which leads me to think it was the HR.

Eh Bro! I'm so pissed that I missed this show! I'm glad we were able to see R30 together though! trink39.gif

Did your brother tell you that we met in the lobby right after the show? I saw a TRF shirt and made a beeline for it.

 

smile.gif

 

Wish you could've been there, Drum.

Me too!!! No he didn't, but I haven't talked to him in a little while. I'm glad to hear that you met my bro. I assume partial guilt, along with our older brother, for him being a big Rush junkie. Our older borrowed 2112 from a friend years ago, and we were all hooked from there. I do assume guilt for turning him onto this forum though. tongue.gif We were at The MGM show for R30, best Rush show we've ever seen. This year will be the first tour I've missed since PeW. sad.gif Oh well, they're not coming anwhere near where I am right now, and I don't have the funds right now anyway. I've spoiled myself over the years by taking advantage of some of the tours I've been to over the years. We were able to go to R-30 together, and I'll never forget that.

Hey all!

After staying in Vegas until Wednesday after the show, seeing Spamalot at Wynn Las Vegas (Thank you for the free money Mr. Wynn!) I'm just now catching up with life.

 

It was a pleasure to meet all you fine TRF-ers, and hope to see more of you folks again.

 

Speaking of such, my wife was talking to a girl from Plano, TX named Monica who works for a specialist in Dallas. We have lost the number for the office. If anybody here is or knows her, please PM me.

 

I'll post some pictures of the trip to Vegas and THE TWIN ARROWS! They are really beat up and sad to see, but...

When Lifeson was going "Up the Ladder" on the screen during Far Cry intro, The speaker system rocked so hard then the blue board starts moving and the sound was so killer. I think the videos were geared more toward psychedelia. Wonderful for a tripper. Remember, always, always do the right thing. Or you'll go to Hell, and thats down there. 1022.gif 2.gif 1022.gif

When the last box opens and the lady screams as if falling into an abyss and you view whats inside the box, Far Cry and 2.gif appears, Hell? as a sliding green faced Lifeson points out moments earlier? The snakes on the screen before when Zepp was playing at break got clearer as the band approached. Those snakes, staring at them made my mind melt. 2.gif 1022.gif
