ohh, you should've just done it anyway! I don't know how much was based on the questions and how much was just luck, really. You should ALWAYS enter stuff, cuz you just never know.

 

But yes, it was an awesome experience for sure.

It was a once in a lifetime experience. I hope you can listen to the interview, it was really cool, lots of different topics were covered. They even talked about marriage, that was when Alex said his wife was there.

(I cropped out MIchael Moore)

When I can figure out how to get the picture on here, you can see! I just was, in awe. I could see his magic arthritic fingers, poor guy, and the callouses on his palms. And he was very funny. They both were really. And you can see how close they are. OH!! I FORGOT....Jonathan Dinklage was there!! And also Alex's wife, he pointed her out, that was pretty cool.

I am SO trying to but not having any luck!!

I didn't record it, didn't think to. Duh. But it was awesome. As the winners, we got to sit in the studio with them, I was in the front row, literally two feet from Alex and four feet from Geddy. I got to ask them a question I'd submitted, about if the R40 setlist was influenced at all by the fans. My question was third. There was about 25 of us in the studio and then our guests were on the bleachers right outside the studio. It's very small.

 

Michael Moore talked way too much, that was annoying. But Alex was very funny. Geddy too. You'll hear it all in the interview. We got to do a Meet and Greet photo afterwards, and it was interesting, again, Alex was very nice but Geddy was kinda cool when he shook my hand. Maybe by then he was bored, who knows.

oh my gosh, you're right!! Awesome!

 

No, no idea. Oh,I just looked at the thing, it's in the McGraw-Hill building.

Laura, come back and tell us all about it.

 

I will! I wish Neil was going to be there too....but of course pigs would fly first!

 

Maybe he will make a surprise appearance. You never know.

 

Where is it being held in NYC?

 

One can only hope. Anyway, it's at the Sirius studios, 1221 6th Avenue (48th St). Starts at 1, is over by 2, they said. In case anyone wants to loiter outside the building!!

Laura, come back and tell us all about it.

 

I will! I wish Neil was going to be there too....but of course pigs would fly first!

Anyone get in for the Sirius Town Hall event on Friday in NYC? I did!

 

Couldn't believe it, I never get picked for anything.

I read this a couple of days ago. Pretty much what I expected.

Yup.

 

It is what it is -- and whatever.

 

sigh. I love that song.

LOL

I looked on there. Some are selling for $80.

I would feel weird buying VIP stuff that I didn't get for being a VIP. It's kinda like people that own Super Bowl rings...come on, man! You didn't earn that!

I paid enough for it though - $453 for 10th row and this stuff!

I'm not seeing any swag. Picture or it doesn't exist. :)

 

yes, I'm selling phantom swag!! :P

 

I have someone interested in it anyway, but will update on this later on today.

Would you be interested in selling your Lanyard, seperate from the rest?

 

Let me get back to you, hopefully today! Thanks.

Hi, anyone want to buy my VIP Swag stuff? I have another set. $75 and free shipping. Tote bag, wooden picks (still in packing box, unopened) lanyard with cool little starman charm, program book.

 

(I would post the picture but for some reason it's not working, but I think everyone by now has seen it all anyway.)

I LOVE Lakeside Park and was totally bummed to not hear the second half, that's my favorite part!

such a gorgeous song

I was in the 10th row Geddy side. The show was just fantastic. They're just so tight, it's not even human.

so are we (NYC) gonna get D too I wonder??

Will they play Losing It in NYC, that's the question!

If they don't now I WILL DIE

Actually, I take it back. I wouldn't DIE if they played Different Strings, I'd probably CRY!!

Oh, I'd die if they did Different Strings.

Ah. too bad.
