You fly 1,300 miles to see a  concert!

How about driving those 1,300 miles from DC to South Florida.

When you can expect to be entertained. Not lectured about politics or "the U.S. President" at the show.!!!!!

 

When you wake up in the morning and tell yourself, their not gonna play Bangkok, they never play Bangkok (before your feet hit the floor).

7. You check out the music of bands that have opened for Rush to see     what the combination of them and Rush may have been like.

I just wanted to say, I'm so sad I missed Rush with Primus. If Rush ever starts touring with an opening act again (you know, when they're old and have less energy...lol) I want them to take Primus with them! Hell even if it was some kind of co-headlining thing! Come to think of it, that might be even better considering I'd be getting more of both. What a legendary combo they had to be.

That is sad, for that show kicked some major ass.

 

Les Claypool was in rare form that night in Columbia......and Rush amazing as always. This was BY FAR the best opening act I had seen for them.

 

See if YouTube has some video of those shows.....ya never know.

When your groceries purchase adds up to (GASP!) $21.12.

[Rush Cocky]

When you spend most of your day off on a Rush message board, and listening to Rush.

 

That would be me. And that would be today.

-When you await February 1st, 2012 (2/1/12)

 

-When you're sitting in Canadian History, and anytime Canada's independence from the crown is mentioned, you hum AFTK

 

-When you're girlfriend asks you to go on a "Mission" to pick up a few groceries, you INSIST on playing HYF.

 

-When Closer to the Heart comes on the radio at work, you pick up stir sticks, and take a few cans of take-home coffee, and drum the entire song.

 

-When you immediately scream "2112!" anytime you see the number, attracting confused looks from everyone around you.

 

-When you remember someone's year of birth by the Rush album that came out that year.

 

-You can't stop cracking the joke "Snow dog" every time you let your dog outside during the winter.

You set your dvd timer to "time left" and pause the dvd when 21:12 remains.

 

You wear Rush t-shirts in order of the tour they are from.

GREAT IDEA! You know you're a Rush fan when... 1. You've memorized Alex's, Geddy's, and Neil's birthdays, but don't even know your own friends/familys birthdays. 2. You get excited over soup. 3. You know what a shrimp cot is. 4. You frequently quote Rush lyrics/songs 5. You think jazz is weird. 6. You mention Rush at least 15 times day. 7. You always want to kick someone's ass if they make fun of Geddy in ANY way. 8. You want to have an airplane made out of beef. 9. You wish the alphabet ended not in only "y, z" but "y, y, z." 10. You smiled, laughed, and shook your head yes to every one of these.

Mhhm That is so true ha ha I know everyone of those.. Except the birthdays lol. I'm NEVER good with he whole remembering birthday things But yeah ha ha. :]

when you are seriously considering breaking up with your girlfriend of over a year because she won't let me.....you listen to rush in the car, only on "special occasions"

[Hoovermac]

When it ticks you off when CTTH comes on the radio and a coworker replies "Cool, Closer to Your Heart!"
