Digital Man Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I don't even have words to express what a great time we had over the weekend. This was one of the best weekends I have ever had. The people are all amazing. The actual concert Sat night was almost a sideline event. The best part of the weekend was the people and gathering at Pags' & Owlswing's. Pags & Owlswing, thank you for opening your home to all of us. You 2 are amazing as is your entire family. I know what a big event this was for you to put together and & it was completely amazing. The time & energy you put out was incredible. Thanks you again for the fantastic weekend. It was great to meet some new people: Tick Slacker TheSweetScience Failte PTA Pags Owlswing Troutman Different Strings Kerry and see some others again.

CeeJ Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I knew that this was going to be a GREAT time but I don't think that I saw PAGSCON 2008 for what it really was. It was a wonderful gathering of TRF friends. There were alot of us there that were looking foward to seeing each other again. We were looking foward to meeting some friends that we hadn't met yet. Owswing, Pags, and the Rushettes... You all opened your home to us and it became our home. What an amazing time that we will NEVER forget. Being part of your family was absolutely incredible all week. I can't thank you all enough. Saying goodbye was so hard... But I know that we will see you all in just a few short weeks. I had a great time meeting and hanging out with: Troutman Different Strings TheSweetScience Failte PTA And it was wonderful to catch up with and see: Ladi Blonde Test Digi Sunny Tick Slacker GG 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Kerry I saw a few people let loose and really enjoyed getting to know some people on a more intimate level. This was the most incredible time yet and I know, in my heart, that we will all have many more times like this in the future. I look foward to seeing many of you again in the near future and know that the love, friendship, and fun will just grow. It was like a family reunion... But better.

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Great story Pags. I can imagine that it's enough to get a bit teary-eyed about eh? It made me think of this line (which you should all know. If not, learn it): "But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.

Digital Man Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 There was never a pause or second thought about waiting. It just never entered our minds to leave until Pags' van was taken care of properly. The tailgate at Exxon was the best tailgate I have ever been to. This just goes to prove that RUSH fans are the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Pags as we all said at the time there was absolutely NO WAY we were going to leave our brother behind. We just all had to live in the moment, keep up our spirits up and hope for the best and it all worked out. That was awesome of the folks at the TGI's to come down and join us! We got to meet even more good people from TRF PARTY AT THE EXXON!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That whole writeup gave me goosebumps. There is definitely something special that happens here at the rush forum.

We got to meet even more good people from TRF PARTY AT THE EXXON!!!! Well put Test There was know way any of us were going to bail on you Pags. We left as a team from Pagscon and we all stuck together until the tow truck arrived at the Exxon. Everyone kept there spirits up and made the best of the situation. A big THANKS to Necro for getting it all started with his video. Ladi showed it to me before I left for the airport. When you all see it you will understand what I mean What a great tailgate it was!!

GhostGirl Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 There was never a question of being mad or disappointed, pags. You and your wonderful family had already given us the precious gifts of your time, your home, and your hospitality. The way it all worked out was the ONLY way it could've worked out - proving that this bond we all share because of this band we all love is true and strong and real. I love you guys. You give me strength every day, and I can't imagine having spent that time before the show in any other way. It was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
