Joshua Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 It was a great time. Big thanks to steelcaressed for the cheeseburgers and EPIC grilled corn-on-the-cob. Awesome as always to meet and hang with fellow Rush fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcaressed Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Had a great time folks. Thanks to all for joining up and making a great tailgate. I'll be posting the pics later...I didn't have the digi-cam, so I had to take regular pics. I'll post them as soon as they are developed and scanned in. Missed you dbl-strk. Perhaps next time.

Dbl-Strk Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Sorry Steel, and all the rest of ya`ll We ran into some traffic off and on on 95 coming north from Richmond. We we`re 2 hours late for our dinner reservations We ate, and drove fast to Nissan We actually got to our seats with about 10-15 min. before showtime!! I`m very bummed about not meeting up with ya`ll in the lot. I also tried twice to meet up with my good friend, "Mr Rush" It didn`t happen either The show was amazing!!! Neil`s playing is so fluid and smooth!! He just sits on the throne and, "Dances" through the songs!! Yeah, I`m a drummer!!! There was a serious lack of air drummers in the crowd!! What gives!!! Not even during Spirit of The Radio!!! Now all we need is a concert dvd!!! Ya`ll all take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushringleader Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 SteelCaressed YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Thanks a bunch for the food, we were starving. It was great to see everyone, I will be posting some pictures soon. The show was great. TRF meetups are always the best. I think we should have one during the off time between now and the next tour.

Sweet picture. Thanks for posting it. I look somewhat sober in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Another great show. Number 11 for me. What a great time with the TRF crew. Sorry to not meet up with those who couldn't make it. Assuming no Rush tour next year, we should pick out some concert at Nissan Pavillion and all tailgate out together and not see the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusRushFan Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, it was a great show but I'm kinda bummed that we couldn't find you guys. We decided to see the new Batman movie earlier that morning so we could see it when it wasn't so crowded, and we got thrown behind because of that. Was only 20 or so people in the theater because we saw it at 9:30 am and then went home to get ready for the trip up there. Didn't get up to the area until 4:35 and checked into our room at the Hampton Inn. We got room 420 just by the luck of the draw, and thought that was kinda cool. I'm wondering if anyone else here stayed there because it is only about a mile or so from the Nissan Pavillion off of Gateway Center Pkwy. It's a new hotel and there were plenty of other Rush fans there also. Anyway, we looked around for balloons but didn't see any. We came in on the main road turning in from the right side, and then parked across the street from the Pavillion entrance gates. Saw plenty of tailgaters but I don't recognize anyone in the pic so I guess we didn't see you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcaressed Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 OK folks...sorry for the wait. I have a few pics from the tailgate before the show. I will be posting more w/ additional commentary later. Remember, I'm working w/ stone age equipment here since my digi-cam was in Florida that day. I have to scan each of these in manually, so please be patient. (Sorry for the white border around half of the shots.) The equipment and the people: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate.jpg That's me to the left, my son Gregory is wearing the blue tye-dye towards the right, and that 's Stormshadow to the far right. The rest of the folks in this pic were really cool, but they don't post here. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate2.jpg Here's a shot of most of the folks that day: Again, me to the left, that's apetersvt standing in front of stormshadow and his wife, and to the right is Joshua bending down in front of rushringleader and his folks, who saw the balloons. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate4.jpg I have more and I will post them later. I'm pretty sure there's a pic of everyone in these, so please continue to be patient. More tomorrow. Until then, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcaressed Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 OK folks....here they are. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate5.jpg This is a shot of the whole gathering, except for a couple of the ladies who were behind a car. That's vaportrails14 sitting closest to the camera. This was during the pre-show acoustic performance of TFoL, which has become somewhat customary. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate6.jpg Someone must have been standing on my van to take this pic, also during TFoL. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate7.jpg That's TRF's very own Geddysmullet in the middle, and Joshua's sister to the right. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/tailgate8.jpg And here's one of Joshua after sampling the "epic corn."

steelcaressed Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks to all who came from TRF: Veterans from the '07 show - Stormshadow and his wife, Joshua, apetersvt and his friend Adrian and wife. And the latest TRF members to join in the fun - vaportrails14 and his family, geddysmullet, and rushringleader and his family. A lot of families. What a fine tradition. And a lot of fellow music lovers taking time out to just enjoy life. It was a great time. I hope we get a chance to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
