Yeah it says your local time is an hour behind EST as of right now, if you look under the map, so I'd say your preference is wrong on your profile. Because going by the time/map under your name, they match and are correct to each other.

QUOTE (Ancient Ways @ Apr 24 2011, 07:54 PM) I saw this thread at the main page and thought it sounded a bit shady. Glad I was wrong... I thought this too. I'm turning 19 next month, and I got in to Rush about this time 5 years ago, so when I was turning 14. I've always been an Alex girl myself, and he's just getting more and more fabulous as the years go by. What a well dressed man. Funny story: I went to the Hamilton show on Tuesday, and upon walking in to a bar for supper with my boyfriend, four middle-aged men shouted "Oh my god! A FEMALE RUSH FAN!" and started cheering loudly. It was a little embarrassing, but we do seem to be a little out numbered by our counterparts (no pun intended, I swear). Oh well, the days go on. We love the boys just as much as anyone else. And age is never a factor when it comes to music, in my opinion.

No. QUOTE I deny it happened. It had a crap script to milk the franchise.

Finals. Six finals in seven days. Two down, four to go..

Um, my last pair was over $350. I just paid $200 today. Am I the only one who had ticket prices go down?

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Dec 8 2010, 01:04 AM) Quick question in case anyone might have the answer to this. I'm in section 210, and it's listed as seats 9-8, not 8-9. Is there any significance to this? What I mean is... I'm assuming its the end of the row (since presales have usually netted me those seats). What I'm concerned about is if it's the end of the row CLOSEST to the stage, or if it's the end of the row FARTHEST from the stage. How is it numbered at Copps? Also, how far away is section 210 in correlation with the stage? I looked at the seating chart but it's a bit foggy in the upper bowl diagram, since it doesn't SHOW the stage. It seems like I'm kind of smack dead in the middle of the sections, while leaning a bit towards being CLOSER than farther. Thanks for any clarification on that, as I would like to be comforted on where exactly it is i'm sitting. http://intl.ticketseating.com/maps/450w/81...rican-idols.jpg Map with stage - ignore the multi-coloured parts, I think those are typical price-divisions for concerts. I.e. section 119 is three different colours. Also someone above said the seating goes clockwise around the arena so maybe in your section 9 would be seen before 8.. I saw a show there when I was 7 or 8 (so ten+ years probably) so I'm not much help here. Sorry.

Maybe they're just enjoying touring? Maybe it isn't all about money... I doubt they set the 180$ ticket price I paid for the amphitheatre last summer.

QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Nov 19 2010, 09:40 PM) I was dead center in the front row of the balcony and could not have had a better seat. It was pricey at $125, but well worth it. Of course, my first Rush show cost me $12.50 gen/adm but that is another story...price is 10X in 25 years. I hope my salary does that...btw, the screen was perfect but some of the animation was not as exciting to me as to others here. I wish there were lasers. That was much less than I paid for my tickets and I was in the second section back at my show.

It's Friday! Time to sleep, lovin' midterm week. Rush gets me through everyday...love them guys. Wednesday is my last midterm. Then it's time to sit back and .

QUOTE (trenken @ Jul 23 2010, 10:26 AM) In this topic people struggle with the fact that there is a difference between being a troll, and having an opinion. Seems most nubs around here think that if someone voices their opinion, and it differs than their own, they just call them a troll. Trolling would be coming here and saying metallica is better than rush. But saying a setlist sucks, or that you dont like the new songs is actually just an opinion, not trolling. Learn what the difference is. Of course this depends on how you act on your opinion. If you state the fact and only continue posting you opinion, fine. However if you continue to shove it in everyone else's faces and bash other people for liking the setlist, that is a whole different story. I don't know what happened leading to this event, so I can't say for sure; however the last time I remember someone getting banned, it was after weeks if not months of intolerable behavior by one particular individual that was splitting the forum into friends of this kid and everyone who was tired of him. IMO the forum admins handled this situation how they probably should. How many members have you seen banned in this forum? Not very many. They tend to control the forum with a mindset of "what's best for everyone" and not "this person is just being a big d-bag about one thing".

Yeah, someone stole my ticket and lanyard (holding the ticket) out of my purse. Basically killed my night. It was worth 10$ in cash but it would have meant a f***ing hell of a lot to keep that.

I'm glad this was brought up because the general consensus seems to be that it's quite fitting to stand at a Rush show. When I saw them for the second time at the Molson Amp in 2008 I was in amazing, perfect seats (for me). When Rush came out, I was about to die of happiness and anticipation. Everyone went NUTS when they walked out - only to be seated after they got half way into the second or third song. WTF? Let's just say I refused to sit, although EVERYONE in front of me in my section sat. And I was in section 202, right in the center stage! The guy next to me refused to sit too, but he was pretty die-hard and had seen them many times over the years. Only seconds after everyone decided to sit I started getting yelled at by the people behind me. We both agreed that I didn't pay for my tickets to actually SIT for a Rush show. Finally, they shut up, and decided to stand I suppose. Not long after that everyone got back up (thank god). It was honestly one of the weirdest things I have ever been apart of. I couldn't believe the lack of enthusiasm.

Is it just me or does it really look like Alex has lost some weight? Over the last month I have noticed it in all the photo's people have been posting.

They did spell it wrong. I guess it happens, you spelled it wrong too. Amphitheater We spell it with the re in Canada. Just sayin'.

However, I've heard from NUMEROUS different people about the horror stories at the ACC. Getting told to sit down, having garbage thrown at you, etc. Everybody is much more relaxed at Molson and everyone stands and has a good time. This happened at the Porcupine Tree show at the Queen Elizabeth. Everyone sat until the encore. I nearly cried in shame when I was forced to sit down. Never heard of it happening at a Rush concert though, especially at a place as big as the ACC. For the Snakes & Arrows Tour, I went to the Molson and had an amazing time! Everyone was standing and playing air instruments, singing along, dancing, all the fun stuff. My buddy went to the ACC show earlier on and told me how everyone sat and was rigid the entire time. Also, when he stood up, he had garbage thrown at him and was told to sit his ass down. I went to the Amp show last run, and I was sitting in the middle of 202 (Row O) and being my second show, I was really happy with my seats. However, everyone was standing and going nuts when they walked out; and then everyone proceeded to sit in front of me. I (and the guy next to me who had seen them like a bunch'a times) refused to sit and was yelled at by the people behind me repetitively to sit down. Eventually everyone got their asses up and it was all good. Although you pay for seats at a Rush show, I never plan on sitting in it. Just sayin'.

Quite honestly, until this moment, I thought I was imagining the tempo changes. Glad to know that's fact and not just me! However it does change some of the songs in a way I was less of a fan. HOWEVER, as mentioned, I would rather them play it however they need to than not hear them at all.

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Apr 23 2010, 12:33 AM) I don't see them doing "Different Strings" either, though I'd love to see it. And if they're indeed doing "Jacob's Ladder" I wonder if they'll dump "Natural Science" this time. If this happens, I'll be fine with it. It's my life-long-favourite tune but I've seen it twice now.

I voted John, but Eric Idle is up there as well. I got a complete TV-DVD set for Christmas, I wasted most of my holidays watching all the footage. f***ing hilarious.

QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Sep 23 2009, 12:08 PM) I don't buy a knife unless it features a lanyard hole and I take a good length of parachute cord (I love that stuff and in fact I am declaring a new Man Law which requires all men keep at least 50 feet of para cord on hand at all times! ). Good for you. My boyfriend always carries around a backpack with him, kind of like his "survival" kit... It's amazing what stuff comes in handy that you don't think about. Para cord = most useful thing to carry around (besides a multi-tool, of course). My boyfriend always used to wear a bracelet of para-cord (some really, really cool knot-work done for it - this was before the backpack) and he said it was for if he ever happened to need cord..then he would have it on him, . It's a really cool idea because it looks casual but has a practical purpose - I made him make me one after that, haha.

On an unrelated note, I think it's very interesting that Jack Nicholson is so versatile that he is in at least 4 clips from this in 4 completely different categories. Horror, Romance, Action, Drama, I believe they were.
