I just got a lovely email from my ex-husband (wasband), today was our anniversary. He got remarried and has a child but we still keep in touch and while I know I did the right thing it still makes me sad sometimes to think about the fact that it didn't work out.

Good luck with both! Maybe both will happen, then you can be one of those people that say, "I plan to keep working to keep myself busy, even though I won $300 million dollars . . . . " :) Lol, right!!

Well I got my ticket for Clifton New Jersey . No rush con for me unless I either win the lottery or get a job . And I am looking and I do buy tickets so either is possible LOL .

That's too bad, but a jobs a job.

I know I'm the one that started this thread but since I'm still out of work, I don't think I can really spend the money. Sigh.

Ohh, maybe I don't want to go??

You can do either...the days are offered a la carte, or one bulk fee that gets you into everything. They sell merchandise there plus if you want to bid on anything at the auction...that's about the only extra costs. Snacks are usually served (free) and there's an open bar that serves beer and sodas.. I hate to even ask, like, do you have any idea around how much, before I get too excited? Jeeze, I don't even remember. There's the cost of travel and lodging (should you not be lucky enough to live in Toronto already) + the cost of the convention itself. Let me do a little research and ask a few questions. :) Oh that's ok, I don't want to trouble you! I'm sure it'll all come out soon, i'm just impatient!! :dweez:

Thanks, it sounds awesome! Do u pay per day or is it one price?

I'm not sure, looks like they have some events to get fans together to mingle, which would be fun. Hopefully someone who has been to these can weigh in here .

Oh, that's too bad! Hope you're better now. Mr. blues, that's cute.

I'm actually out of work too....but I really want to go! I wonder how much it will cost, I mean just the event. Airfare isn't too bad, relatively speaking.

Anyone going? I'm thinking aboot it....

Styx next week, woo hoo!

Me Earl and the Dying Girl. Really good and very quirky.

Lol, I was going to wear my Hemispheres shirt tomorrow night, in the hopes of catching a cute Rush boy's eye!

OK, wait, did you see them in New Hope?? I was in the very back row, by the merch table. Yes, I was there in New Hope. I guess I was somewhere in the middle. I thought I already replied to this but I didn't see it. Anyway, great show. I take it you are seeing Sabbath in Camden. I'm not looking forward to the parking situation there. I only saw one concert there before(Yes and Styx about five years ago)and don't remember any weird parking situation where I had to walk twenty minutes and pay thirty dollars. Not looking forward to that but even so it's worth it. I have lawn seats so if you see a tall bald guy with glasses by himself in a blue folding chair(more than likely although maybe i"ll find some people to mingle with)wearing a Rush t shirt(or black t shirt)that will possibly be me. Oh, no I'm going to PNC next week. I bought the VIP parking, so that I can avoid the walking forever situation. And since the tix are free, it was ok to spend the money. (I'm currently unemployed) Anyway, have fun tomorrow.

I just now got a GA ticket at BB Kings for Trinity - Geoff Tate, Blaze Bayley and Ripper Owens, 11/27. I have no idea what they're going to do, but I'm a big GT fan, so it's all good.

oooh! I'm seeing Styx on 9/22 in NJ. Love Marillion, have never seen them.

Where? I won two for PNC in NJ next week, yay for me! Anyone else?

I was there, didn't even know about them at all, but my friend (also a huge Rush fan) told me about it Saturday afternoon, and I love DT and have listened to some Kings X, so I was like sure, why not. And they were really good!

Laura, I just saw this. I think I would have given almost anything to see both the Dan and Stevie Winwood. Love them both, and especially love Stevie with Traffic. Did he do Low Spark of High Heeled Boys? He did, yes. See, I'm a huge fan of his solo stuff, but not as big a fan of Traffic....but regardless, he was good.

Much belatedly, I saw The Jelly Jam last weekend in New Hope Pa! They were great! And, I won tix to see Sabbath next month, very excited, I've never seen them all these years...

Ultravox! Cool. I also regret so many Rush shows in the middle of their career, because at the time I wasn't going to shows alone, and had nobody to go with.
