april7901 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, I'm a little bit bummed out - I was looking forward to the trip. I think it's probably best for us, though, all things considered. I'm sure ya'll will have a fantastic time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natch Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 So, how many of you have seen Rush on this tour? I was at the Jones Beach show with my 12 year old son and I gave tickets to each of my 2 brothers, one is a semi-Rush fan, the other is not at all, just so we could hang out as a family at a Rush concert. We had a great time. For the MSG show, I'll be with a friend of mine. (He's not a member of TRF, but I'm trying to get him to sign up...lazy bum). Anyway, I plan to be in NYC early, hope to meet up with some TRF people, and just generally have a blast. I could use a good blast these days. The more I think about the concert, the more revved up I get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natch Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 OK...so at least one other TRF member has indicated that Stout is the place to be before the show. However, I state that since these places are well within reach of each other that we can bounce back and forth. I hereby declare midtown Manhattan a Rush Zone on September 17th. We'll be taking midtown by storm. We need more TRF members to participate. Anyone else want to jump in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to a meet-up before. What is the protocol? Do you all know each other's names? We usually wear masks and put on a nametag with our screennames on it. Check out my sig. These are just SOME of the meetups I've been to since i've been on this board. Meetups are awesome. There is no set criteria for them. Some occur just to hang out at a bar together. Some to hang out at someone's house. Some to all go to a show by... hmmmm... let's see... ummmm... oh yeah... I'm thinking for this one, we should all meetup very early, as there is gonna be a shitload of us and just barhop. Then continue the barhopping AFTER the show as well. NYC doesn't close shop until 4am. Oh... as for real names... some do, some don't. It all depends on what's more comfortable. I have no problems with people calling me Necro or Ken. Hell... even my kids call me Necro now. Hmmmm...that does sound like a good plan, but it will depend on how much $$ we have to go with...also, we're gonna have to head back to the train shortly after the show is over to head back to New Haven. Dave has to work the next day at 12:00....I don't know if I will have to work yet, I don't have any work outside of an assignment I'm on til 8/3.... But meeting up early in the day sounds perfect. We should be there around 2:00 (Tortoise has to feed the chickens before we leave Dartmouth, so we'll be departing there around 10:00 (maybe sooner), which means we'll get to New Haven around 12:00 to arrive in NYC around 1:45 (ish)... As for names, it doesn't bother me who knows mine. It's Kathy and my other half is Dave (Der Trommler). Although you'll find if you've been calling your TRF friends by their nicks for the past 2 years or so, you'll still be calling them by their nicks even if you're trying to call them by their real names LOL For example, Spike. I still call her Spike, even tho I know her real name LOL We'll arrive in NYC in the morning and hang around the city for awhile until others start arriving. We should designate a good meetup spot. I'm figuring right in front of MSG would be good eh? Then we can move from there. Hopefully we won't be going back home until the next day. But if so, I can get a pretty late bus out of NYC, so I'm good to party all night. The name thing... it's funny. I still find myself calling Bobby and Rich, SlackA and Tick. And Geds... well we're both Kens, so it's confusing enough, so we stick with Geds and Necro. Well... i call him a whole assortment of names anyway.

Natch Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hey LSM...I've found out since your post about Mustang Sally's and/or Mustang Harry's that both these places exist!

Okay, we'll figure things out as it gets closer....we should prob do what Ken suggested and all meet outside MSG, then go bar hopping around the area ...and is it just me, or is this place cheaper than Mustang Sally's?

Natch Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yeah, it's a bit cheaper. That's good to know. We have plenty of time to make the meeting arrangements.

DonnaWanna Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I just remembered MSG has tours (i think every hour) where u can tour the whole Garden & learn bout its history U get to go threw the locker rooms and such i think for bout $18-$20? or sumthin like that, BUT if ur lucky and go at the right time u might catch a sound check! Me & Ron took the tour a few years ago & got to sit in the VIP rooms & watch a Dave Matthews sound check we were there for bout 3 songs for the check , then the tour group moved on, they let u bring ur cams in and take as many pics as u wanted & Also get to checkout the dressin rooms. like i said we went a few years ago & prices & times mighta changed But sumthin to look into if ull be in the city for the whole day Good, Cool time killer & who knows who ull bump into there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
