From all the reports I've been hearing this show is sold out and has been for a while. I had also heard whispers at one point that they may be filming this one - but I have no hard evidence of this. If they are filming one, this would be a good choice though; it's a beautiful venue and the weather's going to be perfect.

I've received several emails about the fact that Geddy was spotted last night at the Rockies vs. Brewers game. And as a matter of fact, user Rodney Kolterman was at the game and took a bunch of great photos of Geddy which you can check out in the gallery. Reader Keith C also had this to report:

At the end of the second inning of last night's Brewers-Rockies game, the Brewers telecast showed a shot of Geddy in the second row along the third base side. They played a little of Tom Sawyer as they showed him and went to commercial. After the commercial, they continued to show Geddy throughout the top of the third inning. Brian Anderson (the play-by-play announcer) was giving Bill Schroeder (the other announcer) some grief because Schroeder had no idea who Geddy Lee or Rush was. Anderson was able to rattle off a few song titles (Tom Sawyer and 2112) and knew that Geddy was a ruge baseball fan.

I should also remind those of you going to the show tonight that Jess of The Rush to Fight AIDs project will be on hand at the show with her full setup. They'll be in the North Parking Lot with a green pickup truck and a big S-CAP banner. So stop by and say hello and - better yet - donate too!
