Another tour!!!!
From Rush’s website:
After a hugely successful 2007 run, Rush are pleased to announce they will extend their Snakes & Arrows World Tour into 2008. The band will begin rehearsals in March to revamp the set list before kicking off the tour with their first ever appearance in San Juan, Puerto Rico in April… 2008 will see Rush tour in over 40 cities throughout the United States and Canada making stops in many where they haven’t performed in well over a decade including: Orlando, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Austin, Jacksonville and Winnipeg to name a few. Along the way, Rush will play new venues in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Seattle and will revisit some familiar ones in Boston, Washington and Charlotte amongst others.

like NO WAY.
Awesome. We simply must go.
Yea for rush. Your really not going to be home at all next year are you???
Uh, um, yes Jamie, you may be right.
Rush has never extended a tour into another year like this, at least in recent history, as far as we know. Some of us think this shows a renewed committment to creating music (I believe their most recent CD may be their best ever), and others fear this may mean they’re considering hanging up the bass/guitar/drums, and it will be their last tour. I sure hope not; everyone at our house is looking forward to many more RUSH albums and tours in the future.
But we might be mortgaging the house for this one.
So the tour extension will basically be next year?
yes, Sam, they’re talking about a spring tour, apparently mostly at indoor sites. They’ll be more info on it out the middle of January… we’re still trying to figure out where we’ll get the financing…
