    I was about to post if anyone went to the show, but was trying to be sensitive to your misfortune.

    Will you be able to make the new date.

    Yes.

    To the shark, how was traffic and parking? I haven’t been to Dickey’s Arena yet but it’s practically my back yard. I hear they designed it for concerts and sound first. where did you sit and how was the sound?

    We got there about 5:50pm. Doors opened exactly at 6:30pm. We parked in the yellow lot. We parked right where they let you in so we could get out quick. They were supposed to start at 7:30 and actually started at 7:45pm. We were in the back but a friend actually had two tickets in the lower prom on the side. The sound was pretty good. Also the bathrooms weren't crowded at all during the show. Played from 7:45 to around 8:55. The Intermission was timed to be exactly 21 minutes and 12 seconds. Played until around 11pm. Lot of really good video tributes for Peart.
    Also Anika (the German drummer) was fantastic. We left right when Working Man ended and got out of the parking lot in 30 seconds. Few additional minutes we were on the freeway and headed back to the hotel.

    Welp...my tour date in Fort Worth got rescheduled again from July 2 to July 13. Plus, Rush didn't play last night's Fort Worth show. Geddy is ill with bronchitis and laryngitis. Been advised to rest up. I don't think they have a concert until the two rescheduled shows for July 11 and July 13. I'm not sure where he is recovering but he may be in Fort Worth for the extended period. It's surreal to think Rush is living at a hotel maybe 20 miles away from me for a while. I'm sure they maybe went home but the stuff is still here. Who knows? AI said Rush had never rescheduled a specific city tour date twice before. Well...don't I feel special. I'm part of Rush history now. Copilot said the odds of this happening are best guess 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 10,000. This is wild. Get well soon, Geddy! Maybe play us a couple of extra songs for the reschedule count? We wanted to see you first in Fort Worth so we got first show tickets but got you way late last instead.
