My parents actually live outside of Phoenix. I should have been the good son and paid them a visit, catching the RUSH show as well.

 

That's what I did when Rush opened the TM tour in Albuquerque. Two birds, one stone. I even suckered my then 74 yr old father in to attending his first ever rock concert with me. Great night!

LOL! I had one of those in front of me in Portland. He seemed to enjoy the show. What did Pops think about RUSH?

Should start in about 15 minutes, right? Mountain time zone, right?

I believe they are on Pacific time right now. No daylight savings in Arizona, except Navajo County.

I'm sitting across the street from the venue, having a beer and a salad. Couldn't find any TRFers, oh well.

Wish I were with you!

Oh, my dad absolutely loved the show! He was a classical musician, so he spent his entire life on stage performing with symphony. It was a big change for him to watch a show. And he completely missed out on popular music, so it was quite a fresh experience for him. But he was blown away by the spectacle, and he really admired their mastery of their instruments. Plus, he got a big kick out of calling his classical music buddies, and saying "Hey, guess what I did? I went to a Rush concert!"

But they don't observer daylight savings, so it's 18:37 right now.

 

D'oh! I have all my concert comestibles ready and everything! But thanks all for clearing that up for me. Rats, I thought it'd be an early evening.

Hey there buddies!

I'm gonna gush now...it was so cool to talk and see you guys face to face and share life. It's like we've known each other for years as close friends.

What's up, people!!!

Hey...how are those legs feeling!!!???

 

Still sore...eye sockets hurt too. It feels great though!!!

From my marathon I remember two things vividly. One was hitting the Wall around mile 19. It was 95 degrees out by then, the field had thinned, and I felt like I was wandering alone in a post-Apocalyptic. The track (Sacramento) was a a loop that we had to do twice, which was tough psychologically. Somehow I was able to gather myself and finish strong, with a kick. The other thing I remember was that they had post-run massages, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. :LOL: So much pleasure after so much pain.

 

Incidentally, that run was the last time I wore my hair long.

Love is pretty great, but you also need beer and music to be complete.

Have you ever been to a RUSH Con? Maybe that's my next big RUSH adventure.
