  1. Whinning about whiners! You must have got front row at face value?
  2. I was able to get pretty nice seats in Section 108 -- closest lower section Alex side in the Citibank presale. About half way up right on the stage side aisle. You could buy right off the seating chart, and there were plenty to go around without having to pay the VIP/Plats premium for seats. (under $300 for the pair including ticketbastard fees) I wanted seats right in front and was willing to pay for them. I am 20 rows back, but last time I was on the sidelines I was disappointed in the seats. The tickets were for seats 1-4 and I needed two. I ended up with seats 3 & 4. I wanted 1 & 2. Aisle seats. But I will keep a $100 bill in my pocket so when they show up for seats 1&2 I will offer them a quick 100 bucks to move down two seats! Think Greensboro will be sold out?
  3. NC show is going fast too! I just got seats in the 20th row in front of Geddy. Best I could do without waiting and possibly losing my chance. $287 per ticket was not what i wanted to spend until my wife said get as good as you can and do not worry about the money. Well, I still worried a little about money....
  4. Okay. Finally got through to the venu. I have seats 3 & 4, on the 20th row, section C-FLR, Geddy side. $287 each!
  5. I'm ready to bite the bullet and spend the money! Problem is the seating chart. I see rows run from the front to the back in sections A, B, C. 1-48. Seats run perpendicular to the rows side to side. 12 seats in each row for each section. Heres my issue. Where would seats 13 and 14 be on a row that only has 12 seats. Please see the seating chart link. I don't know how to post pictures. YET! TIA http://www.ticketmaster.com/rush-r40-live-tour-2015-greensboro-north-carolina-05-28-2015/event/0E004E30EACF9F5E?tm_link=edp_onsale&bba=1 Oh.....Heres an example. Section B-FLR Row 24 Seats 13-14.
  6. I cannot get CBS Sunday morning to do a segment on rush. So no, never a super bowl appreance.
  7. I don't get it either. Yesterday I could have bought two tickets 8th row for around $500 each. It said they tickets would be availble on May 26th. The show is on the 28th. Do they mean they are mailing them. (It sure sounded like that). That would leave less than a day to get them. Crazy!
  8. I liked your post solely for your signature image. two of my favorite things in one photo. Is the Ryan Tannehill's ass? I have to assume you mean the Dolphins and that ass? Not real sure why you would even kid abouth that being Ryans ass though? Or if a joke, I am not getting it.
  9. If you don't have beer, use beef stock or water. Beer makes it perfect and there is little if any alcohol remaining. However, since you are recovering, you may not want beer in the house? I tried recovery one time. I found cutting back was more to my liking..........LOL
  10. I just saw 8th row center of stage for under $500! Greensboro NC. I think i will still wait?
  11. I'm going to take a chance and wait. Not sure about the Greensboro NC. Rush fan base, but it seems this just might be the venue to wait it out. If I miss, I can always get VIP seating for the price. I hope VIP seating will still be availble last minute. Hey Narpiski. What you doing?
  12. We grew up eating flan and the caramel is for the outside crust. Nothing more. in fact I cut off the caramel outer coating when I eat it. My dad always just melted sugar in a double boiler, swished the caramel around in the double boiler, added the custard and finished it in the double boiler. This outer coating of melted sugar turned brown on its own while the custard cooked. I think? Its been years. But I know for sure it was no big deal.
  13. Okay. Killer pot roast first. Heat some oil in a dutch oven or heavy soup pot. While its heating liberally salt and pepper the roast. Sprikle the roast with flour and shake off the excess. Put roast into hot pan and brown it on all sides. Dark brown not light brown. Chocolate brown. (this will take some time to get it nicely browned). Add sliced up onions, a bay leaf or two, salt and pepper and crushed garlic to the browning roast and cook them until they are soft. Then add enough of your favorite beer to almost cover the roast. Bring to boil and put into a 300f oven covered for 2 hours. Add potatos, carrots or any of your favorite root vegetables and cook one more hour. Remove meat and vegetable from pot and thicken to make gravy. Crock Pot Pulled Pork. Brown a pork roast on the stove while crock pot heats. Put roast into pot add spices of your choice and half a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook roast following crock pot instructions for either low or high heat. Roast should be falling apart. Remove roast from crock and shred with two forks. Return shreeded pork to crock pot and check for seasoning, Add as needed and serve on sesame seed buns with extra pan drippings anbd red cole slaw. Good luck and enjoy. So easy right?
  14. I hate to say this, but. Neil Peart is a jerk. I always heard he was different and accepted the fact. And he does have every right to do what he wants. But when I saw him running from the stage at the end of the concert i thought to myself. What a f***ing jerk. In a way they do owe us. We have been paying for music and concerts for over 40 years. Look at how much time is spent here on this forum for example. We have been doing our part. If Neil does not want to tour anymore, he should just say it. It will not end the world. Really it wont.
  15. I love that song on S&A live. The guitar and bass jam is unreal.
  16. The turkey, the stuffing, and the gravy are must haves on T day. Mashed potatoes could easily be completely left out of this menu. The stuffing and the sweet potatoes are better anyway.
  17. Narpski Its in Powdersville. Near greenville. pjbear. When I left 23 years ago, the one in Davie was burned down and they built a new one on University drive in N. Hollywood. There was also one in Ft Lauderdale. Both are gone? Wonder why? I really liked Sonny's and have many good memories. There is one right off I-95 in South GA. There were two, but one is closed now.
  18. How old are you guys that had brisket at Sonny's when you were young? I am almost 60 and when in my 20's, we ate at Sonny's in Davie FL. all the time. They had no brisket that I can remember. Chicken, ribs or sliced pork was the only meat on the menu except sliced turkey or chicken, can't remember exactly. Oh. They had no pulled pork either. It was only sliced. They were pioneers as far as salad bars go. The biggest and best I ever saw. Its not like that anymore. We have one about 40 miles from here in SC. I try and stop at the GA restaurant when on my way back to Palm Beach. Its very good. When we are in Florida, I eat there at least twice. The Sonny's in Davie FL. burned down while still owing me a whole slab family takeout dinner.
  19. Resist - John (Blowhard) Boehner's re-election commercial.
  20. They might stop playing concerts or even playing together, but their music will always be alive for me. Regardless of what happens down the road, I will keep Rush alive and well by listening and enjoying everything they have recorded.
  21. Geddy's voice was much better in Snakes & Arrows. I can barely bring myself to watch it when it is showing on VH1. Sounds terrible. I would not buy it. His voice actually sounded good on the S&A concert DVD. I did not see either live.
  22. I had no idea it existed. I just now set it to "Rock". I probably use 10% of my phones capability. So any suggestions are appreciated!
  23. I found out I cannot get asparagus this season and it could take up to three seasons before I could harvest any. Asparagus is a mighty chore to get started. Takes much care and planning. But, according to the research I have done, an asparagus garden can produce for up to 30 years without replanting. No wonder they are so expensive.
  24. 10 songs? Kidding right?
  25. Well my tomato garden is over. I had so many I had to take most of them to my local watering hole and give them away. I still have red bell and green bell peppers and will have then until late Sept. I am waiting on my first eggplant. I used seeds to start them and thats why the peppers and eggplant are producing or getting ready to produce. I am going to try a fall garden when this is over. Cabbage (red and green), broccoli and asparagus. Never had a fall garden before.
