Hey, Chili... What can I say? I've followed RUSH since the late 70s, when a friend introduced me to their music via "2112" back in my original hometown in NE Mexico... we were both in junior high! There was no turning back... They basically helped me survive the Disco years. Who knew that 20-odd years later I'd end up making their hometown my own, eh?
Whenever you or any of the TTR bros /sis's are around this neck of the woods, let's get together and go to a Jays game and down some brewskies... We may very likely end up running into or at least, having a Geddy sighting. He's a HUGE Jays (and baseball overall) fan. And/or there's The Orbit Room on College... that bar is owned by Mr. Lerxst himself so, we may catch him too. They have some good live bands there, regardless (or used to, before the lockdowns)...
UPDATE: As I was looking for their current hours I came across an announcement that the OR is officially closed as of about a year ago... NO plans to reopen any time soon... Just another casualty in the long(er every day) list of historic independent live music venues/clubs (The Silver Dollar, El Mocambo, Rancho Relaxo and now The Orbit Room, just to name a few) that have been / are being /will be shut down because of, among other causes (COVID recently), greedy landlords / developers that squeeze the life out of cash-strapped venues (and musicians/artists by extension), by increasing rents multifold or simply, by not renewing their leases. All in the name of gentrification and fifteen-dollar shots of bespoke grain milk-infused espresso... Sorry for the manic rant, this is a humongous pet peeve of mine, and it cuts deeeply.
