yyz Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Stumbled across the message boards once again and would just like to say a quick hello again. I have been inactive for 10+ years and my life has DRASTICALLY changed. I also remembered that I have the pleasure of owning the user name of simply "yyz". Neat. No one probably remembers me, but...hello again fellow Rush fans! How is everyones summer going so far? Anyone attend any fantastic shows this year? If so, what were they and where? Greetings from New York City and have a splendid year! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bean-tor Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Welcome back, yyz! I didn't have the pleasure of knowing you before, but all the same I'm glad that you've returned! :hi: As for your questions...my biggest show of the year thus far has been Tool. Not sure if you're a fan, but I splurged and had my mind blown. It's probably still floating out there somewhere How about you? Have you seen anything particularly great this year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Are you the guy who missed the birth of a child to go to like your 100th Rush show? We had a ball on CP with you if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRUSHfan Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hello, YYZ! I joined in March of '05, but wasn't here much of the time unless CP was down for some reason...came back in Nov. of '15 and have been here ever since. Left CP because there were too many people into making fun of other folks...still love a lot of the people there, but too many I don't like to stay. So, WELCOME BACK!http://i.imgur.com/NMaKWXv.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yyz Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thanks all! I've been super busy as of late. I'll answer a few questions you guys posted. I was part of the original crew yea! I am not from Detroit, close, but from Grand Rapids. I moved away to NYC to pursue my passions. You know, a typical New York City story you could say. Still playing drums and have become...obscenely good at it as well. Not to sound arrogant, I just keep track of progress. I am also an an actor in the city as well. As far as shows, I've been to quite a few. I have really been into the progressive metal scene as of the past years. Animals as Leaders was a show that sticks in my mind as well as Plini. If you like progressive, instrumental, and some heavy mixed in, these guys will blow you away. Also been hanging out at local music venues where JoJo Mayer and the likes perform. It's incredible. edhunter, I am not the guys who skipped out on a kid for a concert haha! Currently, im sitting at work in Manhattan waiting for the wedding I am working to finish. Oh yea.
