Laurabw Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm guessing they'll have Jacob Moon, David Barrett, Brandon Dyke, the usuals who do the Rush camp every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 How have I never heard of Rush Camp? Neil should have his own postage stamp. I don't collect stamps, but I would buy a Neil Peart stamp. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's held at some place in the Pennsylvania Poconos where they have cabins, etc. A Neil stamp would be awesome! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else just to see Brandon. He’s a very nice guy. A stamp would be cool. I wonder if being from Canada would influence a decision to do something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 As much as I'd like to attend one of these events, it's not my bag per se. I've been at events, where it feels like there's a 'one-upmanship' mentality and being sized up. It reminds me of being in high-school in a way and avoiding reunions.

However, I see what you mean. My fear is being subjected to Rush covers delivered by old dudes with spectacles and ponytails.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Damn it. I really want to attend and I have some great friends to see in Toronto too. UGH!!

Had to miss a music festival last year when my oldest daughter graduated from college. No excuse for me not to attend. With all of my work travel, I'm going to use points for free hotel, free flight, free car rental. Edited February 27, 2020 by apetersvt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, we have a "must attend" graduation that weekend, the scheduling is disappointing. I'm counting on Rod to represent and give us the full scoop! Congrats to your daughter, graduating with honors is a wonderful achievement! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I got my tickets for it, and everyone from TRF that will be attending should catch up! I contacted the organizer and offered some media coverage. Let's see what kind of access I'll be able to have at the event! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
