So I work in Hollywood and told the boss im taking an early lunch. I call my co-worker and fellow Rush geek Dax to see if he's going, but he doesnt answer. Oh well I'm out of here and take off. As I'm walking down Hollywood Blvd I notice the couple in front of me was clearly heading in the same direction

I get to the festivities and see there is quite a large crowd. where am I gonna stand?

I manage to squeeze into the crowd and get a good spot. The master of cermonies dude introduces Alex and Ged and has a nice speech about all their accomplishments. He gets a good laugh by referring to 2112 and two one one two.

Donna Halper then gets up and makes a very nice speech about loyalty and stuff.

Then Billy Corgan made a speech and got a good laugh apologizing to Alex and Ged for ripping off Bytor when he wrote Cherub Rock "do da do da da, do da da da, do da da da
