I listen to their tunes when one comes on the radio, but not really a fan. If things happened to fall into place, I'd go just to see them once. One of my best friends from high school was a big Rush fan - he lives on your side of the country now, but up around the D.C. area. Not sure if he's going to try to make a date up there. Sounds like you're going with a bunch of family and friends - that's cool!
