Lorraine Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 That's nice. :) Maybe Canadianice, or another TRF Toronto native, will go to the event and give us an exclusive. I'm glad to read that they support the local food banks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Didn't see another thread on this. http://www.cbc.ca/ne...-city-1.3763537 That is cool news! And you know, my husband is up for the occasional 6 hr. road trip but (of course) daughter is going through a career crisis right now and she and her boyfriend are making a special trip to come home this weekend and make some hard decisions. Shoot. Except for a family reunion, we haven't done much any weekend all summer. Oh well, all the best to Al and Geddy! Pretty neat! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm vaguely surprised that this didn't happen before now! Especially considering Nickelback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucey Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Come on Neil, get to the event, it won't kill you. http://33.media.tumblr.com/f0af6396cfbdb4e2af6cff2231b4807f/tumblr_nj08s3D8vl1smcbm7o1_250.gif 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Neil will show up 3 minutes before the event. Limo driver keeps the motor running. Immediate after the event is finished, Neil runs off like every concert he's played. Then he'll write a 3000 word essay on how awful it was when they forced him to say 'thanks'. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix is a little farther than Pennsylvania for sure. You will have such a wonderful winter though, I'm jealous already ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 If you two gals start driving now, you'll make it. Give them my regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 If you two gals start driving now, you'll make it. Give them my regards. How I wish! Although I really don't know what I would do, to be in the same space with them, even a large park; my mouth would just hang open and eyes probably bulge out while people wonder what's wrong with Americans! :D It's for the best I'm busy, I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianice is going, so maybe he will take some pictures and post them here for us less fortunate souls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I would have thought by now they already had this honour bestowed upon them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Too bad this man isn't giving it to them. Would've been priceless to watch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Neil Peart, the drummer behind those wild solos, will also be honoured but isn't expected to be at the event lol Alex: Do we even bother asking ? Geddy: What, do you wanna call him ? Alex: laughs ... yeah, forget it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy: What, do you wanna call him ? Alex: laughs ... yeah, forget it Come on Neil, we get it. You're done. You can still be retired if you want to after the event. Just show up and pretend to be appreciative for a little while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) It wouldn't hurt him to show up and, if anyone wants to know part of the reason why some of us don't care for Neil, this is one - his attitude. Geddy once said, if someone wants to honor you, you ought to be gracious enough to accept it. Edited September 16, 2016 by Lorraine 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
