Sunrise

I feel like I say this every Friday during the Spring, Summer, and Fall, but I want to try and get up early so that I can shoot the sunrise tomorrow. I keep saying it, yet I haven’t done it since November.

So I want to get up super early tomorrow morning (4:30am-ish) and at the same time I want to stay up super late tomorrow night (1:00-2:00am) so that I can try to catch the last Rush show on Periscope (if someone is nice enough to stream it for us). I also want to mow the lawn, clean the bathroom and the kitchen, and take the cat’s litter box outside and hose the ever lovin’ hell out of it.

Could be a super busy day tomorrow.

I might need to take a nap in the afternoon.

That actually sounds like a super awesome idea! Nap time, kids!

Houston

I found a link to this video on twitter this morning while sitting in the car in a rest area parking lot because I was so ridiculously early for work that I stopped to get a snack.

Run on sentence, for the win!

Comma splice, also for the win!

Grammar, babie!  Dig it!

Anyway, it’s a youtube video featuring the entire Rush show from Houston on May 20th.  I’ve only watched the first few seconds and I’m really just saving this for later.

Enjoy.

Sadness of the Inevitable Sort

Im feeling a little blue right now.  If this is really the end for Rush as a touring act, then there are only two more shows.  They are just about to hit the stage in Irvine, CA, and then the final show is in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Is this really the end?  I knew it would come someday, but I guess I never really believed it.  They say they aren’t breaking up.  They say there will be more music.  They say there might be performance alternatives to big cross continental tours.  I sincerely hope so.

Still… Is this the end?

Periscope is a Rush Fan’s Best Friend

Rush played Vegas last night.  I wasn’t there.  Fortunately, a couple of people who were there broadcast their views on the periscope app.  I couldn’t really see anything, but I could hear everything… Sort of.  Bad bootleg quality, but still good enough for me in the moment.  Sweet. 

   

Almost Like Being There

Rush played in Denver last night.  We had talked briefly about trying to go, but me getting sick put an end to all of that.  Instead, at about 9:30 last night, 7:30 Mountain time (stupid time zones), I logged into the Periscope app, zoomed the map in on Denver, and sure enough there was a feed from the show.  I listened for about an hour before my head cold and the time difference caught up to me.  

It was almost, not quite, like being there.
