skyswing Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yes, please! Post it elsewhere, especially if it's not Rush Facts 'N' Photos - it's already there. Hey!

skyswing Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Awesome! Could you please go to the Facebook link and click "going" or interested? We need to give the restaurant a general number of people. I'll repeat it here for your convenience. https://www.facebook.com/events/449242465979225/ I might be able to make it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyswing Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 OK, posted! Wish there were a similar PA event! This was completely an organic thing that developed when I asked if there was a list of memorials. Just think of some place that would be fitting for talking about Neil and organize it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyswing Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Just wanted to make sure I informed everyone who expressed interest in this event that we've had to postpone. I lost a close friend back in my home state on Monday. I'm back there now. So my co-host and I moved the Neil event out to May 9. It's one day after the fifth anniversary of the Tulsa R40 show. Sorry for any inconvenience if you were planning to attend today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
