Rush Live Last Saturday
Let me start by saying that I'm not a Rush super-fan in any way. I don't own any of their albums or tees nor do I follow them from venue to venue. I don't dislike them or their music... I just don't know it.
This past Saturday some buds and I caught a Rush concert at the "First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre" (formerly the Tweeter Center) in Chicago. We actually ordered tickets several months ago, and got some decent seating. Not as good as WrestleMania 23 back in April, but they were good nonetheless.
The concert itself was a blast, and it turns out that I even recognized a few of their songs... one of which was "YYZ" as featured in the Guitar Hero 2 video game. Here are a few shots from the concert:
The only downer of the night (for me anyway - but I'm sure the guys would agree) was having to fork up 10 bucks a beer. It was like being robbed, but asking for it. Oh well, that didn't stop us from downing a dozen or more, but it sure put a hurting on our wallets. Well, except for my friend Dubz who just happens to be rich as hell.

What's with the beep on my finger. That was meant for Bill Gates. I know he's a subscriber to your blog. I wanted him to see it when he read the post. I'm pissed at him for having to buy MS Office for this new computer just so I could do school work. It was a F@ck you finger. Oh who am I kidding I can't stay mad at that wonderful man who gave me THE system, the X-Box 360. Thanks Bill. Instead the finger goes to the alcohol vendors. Boo $10 beers...Hooray Rush!

Looks like you had nice seats. I'm a big Rush fan but don't care much for their new album. They wrote their best stuff before you were born!
