Mika Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Since it's gonna be the nearest we get to experiencing 2112, I thought 2/1/12 would be the next best thing! I get the day off work, so I'm going to celebrate by watching Rush concerts and listening to Rush music. Anyone else down for Rush Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilb1972 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My wife and I were already planning to do this as well. It's something to do until CA finally gets released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'll be listening to my usual Rush to and from work, for sure. Maybe I'll have to wear a small Rush pin or something not easily recognized at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I got the last two Neil Peart DVDs that I didn't have (The Hockey Theme one and Anatomy Of A Drum Solo) for Christmas and that sounds like a great day to sit down and watch them. Any Rush on Rush day would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndseyG Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yep! Count me in! Gilby and I are going away for a few days and we are gonna play 2112 in the car. I know that in Britain we write the date the other way round but, hey! Any excuse to rock to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Emmeline Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great idea! I support this fully! I will for sure be sporting a Rush shirt and a button or two on the first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any excuse to rock to I thought about this, because I know how you crazy Brits do your dates (ha, all my family's British, and I'm first-generation Canadian-born!), but I realized that Jan. 02 has passed already, so that wouldn't work! Ooh, I'm excited! I love an opportunity to get all Rush-y, with the perfect excuse - it's Rush Day! I'll have some wardrobe changes, too, with my Rush shirts! Anyone have any ideas for some Rush-related food or drinks? I've seen a picture of the boys with pizza, and I hear they like wine, but that doesn't sound so good together...!

salges Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I thought every day was Rush day. After missing out on 20 years of enlightenment, my epiphany was seeing Time Machine in September 2010 (during The Camera Eye to be more specific). Now I can't get my fill.

Mika Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Happy Rush Day, everyone! Hope you all get a chance to get your Rush on! I'm going to (finally) connect the ol' cd player so I can blast some Rush tunes whilst playing some Mario Party with my boyfriend (kind of random, but I've had a hankering for Mario Party for a while now), and watch some Rush shows. I'm particularly looking forward to checking out the old videos of 'Finding My Way' and 'Fly By Night' and the 'Boys in Brazil' doc from Rush in Rio. Am wanting to check out Time Machine, but I haven't got a Blu-Ray player to play it on... Wishing you all the best in the Rush-iest of things! Oh, and I couldn't find any honeydew this time of year, so I have canteloupe. It's kind of close enough, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm cryogenically freezing myself so I will be around in the year 2112. Certainly the technology will be around by then to unfreeze me. If only Geddy, Alex, and Neil would do the same, they could see if their dystopian vision came to pass.
