HowItIs

Tell ALL of them. This!

Presto! Took me the better part of a year to be able to do it but I love to play it!

Wait... if Rush is like sex for your ears, why are we posting pictures for our eyes? :P

All of the above! Alex can do so much with even a few notes... In Force Ten, after the break and right after Geddy sings "look out for the force without form...: and Alex plays three notes there... THREE notes! And they are sublime. I miss them in the live versions.

This made me wonder, too. My Hubby - the techie - explained that the sound board can change Alex's voice to sound like Geddy. Personally, I don't think he's THAT bad of a singer. LIsten to his solo album some time; he sings on At The End. Still, it's good that Geddy is their lead singer ;)

Bingo! I loved the expressions on the Boys' faces. I don't think that they expected so many Rushians to be there and/or to be so LOUD! Thanks to all who represented for all of us

:bump:

Welcome LIana! Yeah, we do love our Alex here. I was right in fron tof him in row 3 last November and got some fantastic pics. Here's a couple: http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/Rush%20Seattle%20Nov%2013-2012/megawattgrin.jpg My daughter had caught the T-shirt he threw and he was flirting with us during most of Tom Sawyer http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/Rush%20Seattle%20Nov%2013-2012/Alex87.jpg He was cheering us (Washington state) for legalizing pot: "Let's light up!" http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/Rush%20Seattle%20Nov%2013-2012/Alex29.jpg Such a clown! :) Hope we get first row in front of him in July!

Well, I have no word count limit. In fact, longer stories even out the shorter ones so I get an average of a story per page. If you still want to write yours up, I will add it to the collection. Just drop me an email :)

Thanks, Blue J, Shlappin', Liana and ALifeson! I don't have a deadline set at the moment. Right now I'm trying to gather enough stories to fill a good-sized book (20-30) and, since the Boys are distracting most of us at the moment, I hadn't settled on a firm date. Just send it along as soon as you feel ready. They don't need to be super long, either. Geddy's Mullet - I saw that project. That's what made me get started on this. I'd had this idea several months ago but have just been swamped. But that lit a fire under me. I figured since I'm only looking for inspirational stories - not cute or funny or weird - it's not exactly the same. I also felt that asking people to put up $125 to tell me their story was unfair. So I decided to do this on a smaller scale. I can self-publish an ebook and don't need to raise money to do so.

Hi TRFers. Long time no read. My apologies -- I got a job writing for an online political blog (it pays and everything!) so I've been busy. But I've seen a project on a crowdsourcing site raising funds for a book of Rush stories from fans. I've had a similar idea for several months and am going ahead with mine, having been jogged out of complacency. I want to put together a book - it will have to be an e-book - of inspirational stories from Rush fans. I have spoken to so many of you who told me that Rush and their music helped you through a personal crisis or rough patch. I have my own story which some of you know. But I want as many as I can find. I can't pay you but I won't charge you, either. You will get an acknowledgement in the credits and a copy of the e-book. It's possible I may be able to get someone from the Rush family to write a Forward. So, if you want to tell your story, I want to hear it. I will edit, so don't worry about spelling/grammar. Just send me your story. You can email me at yuga2@aol.com (or PM me here). Please put "Rush story" in the subject line (I'm pretty ruthless about deleting unknown email). Thanks and Rush On!

Well, I enjoyed it. The premise was funny and the Canadian jokes were great! Geddy was... well, Geddy.

They are all great, GM! Thanks a lot :D I grabbed a few captures from the BR disc of the Time Machine when I watched it earlier. I love this one! The grin!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/internet%20stuff/smilies/_party__by_LeoLeonardo.gif Hope you had a great day!!

Thank you! I had a Rush kinda day :rush: :7up: Been scarce lately and I apologize. Got a job writing for a political site so by the time I'm done with that I kinda want to get away from the computer. But I took my birthday off, so... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/internet%20stuff/smilies/thanx.gif

I'm with Janie. Sexy doesn't just go away... at least not when you know where to look for it. This is some sexy, right here: http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/Rush%20Seattle%20Nov%2013-2012/Alex115.jpg And this... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/Rush%20Seattle%20Nov%2013-2012/Alex63.jpg Um.... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/Rush%20Seattle%20Nov%2013-2012/Alex34.jpg Yeah. Definitely sexy. Next question?

Hope you liked it, TBR! :D I forgot to add that if you like them more custard-like, add an egg - but only one.

Invisible airwaves

My family loves sweet potatoes. We'll eat them baked, mashed, fried... but our favorite is this sweet potato casserole: 1 sweet potato for each person +1 (for 3 people I use 4 potatoes - this recipe feeds 3) 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 1/8 cup orange juice 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup butter 2 tablespoons cream (I didn't say it was low-calorie - that's why we only have it on holidays ;) ) Cut potatoes and boil until tender. Drain and place in large mixing bowl - this works best with a stand mixer but if you are patient you can do it with a hand mixer. Let cool until you can touch the sides of the bowl. Turn on beater and add the other ingredients, Whip on medium for 15 minutes. Yes, that's right - 15 minutes. This will whip plenty of air into them and make them super fluffy. Empty bowl into a casserole dish. Now, you can go in two directions with the topping: good old mini marshmallows or streusel. My family loves the marshmallows but I prefer the streusel: 1/2 cup pecans (pieces) 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter Mix together and crumble over the top of the potatoes. It will melt and run together forming a crust, almost like a brulee'. Enjoy!

Love it!! Thank you :)

Yummy! They come in bear-shape, too http://cdn1.lostateminor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/giant-gummy-bear.jpg

Um... I think I broke Mom.

All this machinery

I also have the Blu-Ray and I agree with th OP - this is stupendous! We put it on the Surround and... wow! I didn't get the version with the seperate comic but since the DVD shows the comic along with the music, I don't miss it. I hope they do this with all their albums, starting with Hemispheres.
