CMWriter Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Fourth row, center? Prime seats, HII. Color me very jealous!! ^^; Thanks for the pics, they're very nice, if I do say so myself.. And I've no doubt Neil went out with a bang last night. From what I've read and seen he gives 110% every time he sits down at that set. You gotta love a work ethic like that. You know who else gave 110% every performance? The master of all masters, Buddy Rich himself. And I'd say it's a fair comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo73 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 hahaha everytime we see a pic of Neil smiling, my husband always goes "OH! look! they caught him off-guard! he's actually smiling." LOL Rush is a group of very handsome guys, I never understood why some people thought otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well, sometimes "anything can happen." I'd made a sign for the Gorge show specifically for Bubba and had thought he hadn't seen it... but he did. I went looking for Michael during intermission because I, at least, want to give him the Red Apple Market bag I had for him. Turns out that he was looking for me with a pair of sticks from Bubba in hand! Murphy won that night.... I posted a picture and brief "review" over at the Bar & Grill thinking that was the end of it. But Brutus, the sweetheart, showed my post to Bubba, who assured me that he had indeed seen the sign and had tried to get sticks to me. Just goes to show ya that he sees all from his throne Now I find that a picture of my sign (and my daughter and me holding it) is up on the Rush site! My sign The best thing about it? Knowing that I gave Bubba a smile. After all he has, albeit unknowingly, done for me I am overjoyed to be able to return a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap, I saw that picture on the site but [at the time] didn't know it was you! That is epic! My Neil nymph side is extremely jealous. Some female Rushians have such remarkable luck. What a sweet way to end the tour and remember its last show. Edited July 7, 2011 by NobodysHeroine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uugh I can't possibly be more jealous of all you lucky girls with your good seats and awesome experiences. xD Better start saving up so I can get a good spot at whatever the nearest venue is next tour. (Front row, center! Okay, maybe in my dreams..) That is so cool. Now I know what your daughter looks like so I can creeper-stalk her even further. That is just the neatest thing. I have a drawing of seventies! Neil sitting around somewhere in one of my sketchbooks. If I can find it I'll share. x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobodysHeroine Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) , Neil nymphs! Like the video I made for Geddy, I'm making videos for Alex and Neil's respective birthdays. True to the style of the Geddy one, I put quotes at the end of the video. Can anyone think of some great Neil quotes? I'll include song lyrics, as well as things that Neil himself has said, since Neil is the band's primary lyricist.

NobodysHeroine Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I'm trying to keep the thread alive! I aspire to own a motorcycle in the near future, preferably a deep purple Honda Shadow. Neil has a red BMW R1100Gs, one which he rode all over North America and Central America, both on tour and on the healing road. I hope to know, myself, the freedom of riding and traveling via motorcycle. In Roadshow, he said this about his bike: "When I'm on my motorcycle, I'm happy to be alive. When I'm not on my motorcycle, I'm happy to be alive." http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/NeilandHisBike.jpg http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/NeilBTLS-3.png http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/Neil-Peart_011-1.jpg http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/dantes_view_01_lg.jpg Edited August 16, 2011 by NobodysHeroine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
