circumstantial tree Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Okay, Rushgrrrl, who does Underdog Prog at the dividing line, informed some of us that news is upcoming soon (after the New Year begins) on the next RushCon. I didn't know this, but she mentioned that she now is on the committee and they are busy making plans for it. I hope it works out that I may go this year. I was able to go to the first and second one (and getting my pic taken with Rushgrrrlas well as Alex Lifeson's sister and mother). I missed the third one and last summer's. I know it is early, but are any of you planning on attending this year? In any event, please keep your eye out! www.rushcon.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpeart_gal Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Not sure I'll be able to afford it this year. Too many London trips I suspect. But last year was a BLAST!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I was more drunk at RC4 than I was for the past couple of years. I had a great time indeed - meeting all the Rush folks I've been talking to online, but most of all chilling with my friends, which we never normally do anyways. I could show photos, but too lazy.. unless someone specifically wants me to post them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazzman Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I plan on going. It mostly depends on how much I have saved in the bank by then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem you would probably have is going to the Tribute band concert where they serve alcohol. But the main stuff during the day is open to everyone. At RushCon 2, there was a twelve year old girl who participated in one of the trivia games, and most of our jaws dropped. I mean, someone at that age knowing as much as she did was unbelievable. Her parents, who came too, are Rush fans, so that is why she knows what she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Throughout my RushCon experiences, I have met Donna Halper (wonderful and funny woman!), Terry Brown (could have been better), Alex's mother and sister. I have pics of these. Oh, and there had been a contest of sorts where you could submit a question to Alex and Geddy and they would answer it in a film that was shown exclusively at RushCon 2. This interview took place backstage at Hartford, CT the opening night of the VT tour. My question had been: How do you decide the order of the songs on the CD. They answered!

NeilPeartFan2112 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Do Geddy, Alex or Neil ever come? May seem like a dumb question, but I have never heard of these before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 No, they haven't ever shown up. It is doubtful that they will, but you never know. I know some people who got the idea that the guys would show up at the first one and were very disappointed. The whole convention is for fans and is first and foremost charity event. You can donate whatever you like, either in the auction or by other methods. The stuff donated goes to the Daily Bread Food Bank, a charity that Rush donates to. If you go to the website now, you will see pics and info regarding this past convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 The last one, RC4 was special because the R30 show was right afterwards. Excellent planning on the RC4 staff's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
