As reported earlier this week, Geddy Lee taped an episode of PBS Speakeasy with Michael Chabon yesterday afternoon at the McKittrick Hotel in New York City. Rush.com just posted a great photo from the taping along with this comment from Geddy:
"75 minutes flew by talking to one of my favourite writers and a truly awesome person" - Geddy Lee
The episode will air on PBS some time in April of next year. A small number of tickets were made available to the event and reader Kelly D along with a few other Rush Rats were able to attend. Kelly has been posting a number of tidbits from the appearance to her Twitter feed. Here are a couple of the most retweeted ones.
Ged said occasionally when they're not on tour, Alex messages him "I miss you" and they go out to dinner and "get wasted"

Ged said Alex creates amazing soundscapes- so amazing that he marvels, "How much pot did you smoke?!"

Unfortunately there was no mention of a 2015 tour.
