UPDATE - 6/15@9:49PM: Some RatCon pictures courtesy Icademus. And some pictures of the tribute band concert at the Cygnals site (thanks Sub-Xanadu Man).

UPDATE - 6/14@6:12PM: I ended up going to RatCon for the Saturday festivities and had an absolute blast. I think I can speak for all the RatCon attendees when I say how grateful I am to LanceTheShred, PetieLee, Kelly D and everyone else who was responsible for putting RatCon together or contributed in some way. I am also extremely grateful to Donna Halper for taking the time out of her busy schedule to share her Rush discovery story with everyone, to chat about her experiences with Rush (and other subjects) and to graciously and patiently answer all of our questions. She is truly a wonderful and inspirational person as well as an entertaining speaker. And a big shout out to a great Rush tribute band Cygnals who blew us all away with their performance last night. I also wanted to say thanks for all of the kind words from everyone regarding the website; I am truly humbled. It was great to finally meet many of you and put faces to screennames. :) I'll have some pics to post later.

I thought I'd open up a thread just for RatCon so that those going can connect with the rest of us and let us know what we are missing.
