So we got there plenty early, and after trekking in and getting our swag...I got dogtags, t got sticker pack, H got pin set and a tote bag, Todd got the Blueish t shirt with the S&A logo and the baby carridge pic, Marn got a black polo shirt..........*snicker snort*................we found our spot on the grassy knoll.


Then we busted out the cameras and went for it. :D

I think t was getting a pic of me, I have no reason why?!?!
Image
H It was really good to see you again kiddo. We missed ya.
Image
Here are Marnie and my brother John, he took Wendy's ticket cuz life stopped her from making the trek with us. Todd is hiding behind John, he hates cameras. :razz:

Even got to meet 2 folks from the Counterparts message board.

Wandering Pixie and Chrxtopher.
Image
It was cool to meet them. I have had a few online conversations with them prior to the show, and the meeting was very cool. Good people.

They were getting a friend to get the pic as my brother was shooting this one. We look like there is an alien ship landing or something. :razz:

Little bit o wind huh??

The show started promptly at 8:06 PM. Here are shots prior to that.

Our view from the grass.

My buddy Kelly was 14th row center for this show. He told me he could see the brush strokes in the kick head.

A little closer zoomed in of the stage.
Image
The wind did it, not the tech's.

Pretty sure that this is Neil's bus.

For me, other than the wind, I had a great night. I just wanted to say that.

The wind effected the whole show. Half the fog, part of the lazers looked like they are sapposed to look, wavey sound, no pyro.

But it was still a great evening with friends, and Rush.

Okay, here are pics I took. I've more on my SmugMug but a number of them duplicate what Bro put up, so I won't post alla them here now.

Sitting on the hillside before the show:
Image

No, Marnie was not stoked to be at a Rush gig again.
Image

H got a bit tired waiting, so she reclined.
Image

I took this pic for Siggy. The blankie they had said, "Southern Pride" on it. Too bad their pride didn't talk them into buying weed that smelt good. They'd hide under the blankie to toke, but the smoke kept gedding pulled out by the wind and....ugh.
