Anika has so many Rush dudes out there with crushes on her. I think my wife suspects I have one.

---

I mean she is not wrong.

I bet Annika has had 5,000 marriage proposals emailed or DM'd to her on this tour.

Let's see half of my age plus 7.... damn. Yep I'm too old... but I'd adopt her if she needed it for residency or just a place to stay.

Half your age plus 7 sets the minimum. You can't go lower than that. You can go older.

She's 42. You're older than 70?

Oh yeah duh.

Ok... I'll let my wife know that if she says yes I'm making the switch.

Let us know how that goes! We're pulling for you.

I read a review today of a new book out on Jeff Beck (called, natch, Blow by Blow). He was even more ornery and demanding with himself and his bandmates than I thought. (He canceled a JB Group tour in 1969 because he felt the band [including Stewart and Wood] wasn't ready. One of the tour dates was Woodstock.) This just further confirms what a player she is to be in his band. Not that it's needed at this point. She's an absolute killer behind the kit.

If Anika asks why she should marry you...tell her you have a one of a kind, huge drumstick that she can have anytime.

That's at the top of the list for "things Neil Peart would never do in a Concert". That's just fantastic.

He took some pics at their final show in L.A.

---

He even came out for the bow.

---

I believe that was the only time he did that on the entire tour.

Correct.

He normally ran out the back after waving from the drum kit.

Fixed it for you:

I believe that was the only time he did that EVER.

Anyone besides me going to the Toronto shows this weekend? Any recommendations on Rush-related landmarks that are worth a visit from anyone who's been there? Pancer's may be too far away from the downtown area.

Annika is doing an in-person appearance at Long & McQuade on Saturday I think?

That's where Geddy and Alex bought equipment way back in the day.

How about that?

Going to Rush Con?

Unsurprisingly, it's already sold out. But it would have been a trek from where we're staying anyway.

Considering going to the Rush Day event at Henderson Brewing Co. That's from 10 to 6, and the Popup Shop will be there.

Anyone think the Sphere rumors are legit? I would much rather see them there than in San Antonio.

Don't know and I doubt anyone knows outside of those three (or four) and close business associates.

At any rate it would not start before middle of 2027 at the earliest with the Euro tour next Spring.
