  1. Welcome back. Don't you have a fantasy to concoct somewhere? Have a sad little day. You are welcome here, though I'll choose an amazing day. If anything about this thread triggers you, please feel no obligation to visit. I'll miss your profound insights, but your emotional well-being is more important. Please, take care of yourself ❤.
  2. This post is your best so far. It allows the reader freedom to interpret. To me, the period represents how much can simultaneously happen at one moment. It certainly is. And yet it has more substance and credibility than entries about meeting Neil Peart. :P With one difference: I met Neil. But you didn't! Except for the time I did. :)
  3. ter gator Lorraine: Thank you, that's right. :)

  6. Any chance whatsoever it wasn't a duck? The rest is plausible, especially the parts about her essentially telling you to "shut it" and avoiding all futre contact with you. Also, was she much taller than you expected? :) It could have been a goose, 1974 was such a long time ago. Taller than I expected? No, like I said when my phone was at 8% we first met at a bar in Hoboken. That was a couple of days before the park. She took me back to her place after a few Manhattans. She put some REO on the turn-table then we had some tantric sex. I took a picture of her before she tossed me out of her Jersey City apartment at 4:45 am. Now, that's classic beauty. Canada goose, by chance? If so, it would have wanted doughnuts, not bread. Understand, I'm not challenging your story, but how did that lighting appear at that time of day? Was it glowing NJ swamp gas? Also, since about 1985, I thought everyone agreed not to mention REO, even if referring to their respectable previous work.

  8. Impossible; she didn't start riding the red BMW until the Test For Echo tour. she might have rented and/or stolen it.
  9. I want to start a thread identifying things not to mock. Here are some starters: Dwight: Small nose Meredith: Sex with terrorist Dear Sir: Met Neil Peart Michael: Fell in koi pond
  10. Prove your assertion. I know what happened and have witnesses. I believe you are under a grave misapprehension about who you think you saw but are arrogant enough not to admit that you could be wrong, which you most certainly are. The dates alone quite clearly show that without a doubt it wasn't Neil and I don't understand how anyone who knows the facts would take your story seriously, it just isn't possible! Have a nice life anyway! A grave misapprehension, you say? That's an interesting if meaningless charge. I have two eyewitnesses, one of whom got his autograph before I arrived. 14 pages in and now witnesses have been added to the story?! Interesting, right? If this were a legal trial, it's equivalent to Melisa Tomei explaining the tire tracks in My Cousin Vinny. I'll grant she's marginally hotter than I am. Not exactly. In that scene, she wasn't being cross-examined with her own prior statements, she was providing an expert opinion on the forensics. Here it would be more like this: You started this thread on July 9, 2020, correct? You would agree with me that prior to August 2, 2020, after 15 pages and 281 posts were made on this topic, you had never mentioned any eyewitnesses including one who actually got Mr. Peart's autograph, did you? Did you not think that would have been supportive of your story earlier, or did you not think to add that fact to your story until August 2? Maybe more like that. Direct your questions to the witnesses, or I'll hold you in contempt. Do your homework before trial, counselor. And put your pants back on! In your scenario, aren't you the witness? I meant the two other witnesses. But kidding aside, are you actually an attorney? You sound like you could be, seriously. To answer your original question to some degree, I think I did mention the others before without calling them witnesses, but I honestly don't remember. One was the attendant, who a few days later jumped on my back about blowing "the chance of a lifetime." The other was a guy from another high school. It's a small town, but I'd have to dig to remember his name. And truly, my goal initially was not to persuade others to believe me but to discover if anyone had read the story elsewhere and could point me to the source. After posting a few portions, some people seemed interested, so I shared more to offer a tiny bit of insight into Neil's personality. Contrary to my perceptions back then of Neil being intensely serious, he struck me as remarkably upbeat and pretty quick to laugh. The attendant also thought he was quite handsome! I somehow concluded he "worked for" Rush as a roadie or some other role. It's an amazing memory, but I still feel sick to my stomach when I realize the attendant was right; I did blow a chance of a lifetime. You didn't really miss it. You got to meet him. You just didn't get his autograph or a picture with him. That is kind of you to say. My wife said the same. In fact, it's probably better I didn't recognize him because it allowed a fairly normal conversation. I doubt the conversation was all that normal, with Peart being a bibliophile and you being such a famous author and all. He had to have been awestruck. Haha, right! He was probably awestruck, but with disbelief and pity. If you mean the Borders book-signing, that was just goofing around to create a clearly unrealistic story. I'm not famous at all and haven't published even one book. Well, that's disappointing. I was getting to the end of my summer reading list a little early this year and was looking forward to a little late summer whimsy. I've got an idea, you have the titles already figured out, and you're clearly creative, so why don't you just flesh things out a bit and turn those germs of ideas into full length books. I mean, these days it's not really that hard to self publish, and with the fan base you've developed here and a little word of mouth, I don't think that the New York Times best seller list is THAT much of a stretch. We believe in you!!! Gosh, I'm choked up. Thanks!
