Total Geek out...in a Band Geek kinda way...

Tuesday night's Rush concert was AWESOME.

Musically - I totally geeked out. 

Honestly, I don't think I've been to a concert that I didn't enjoy. 

This one though, like Santana, had me just amazed. 

The talent. 

Ahhh-mazing.

It also "rushed" me right back to high school, where I remember first being introduced to them. 

All the boys liked Rush.

I liked all the boys.

Catch my drift ;)

It took me back to sweaty bus trips, long marching band practices, and the best laughs a girl could have.

My life revolved around music in high school, it kept me out of trouble and got me into some trouble too.  I met my best friends there and still talk to them now.  It truly was a great time in my life.

Mr.FF was in band with me.  That's how I know he's a dork good peoples just like me. :)

Like our time at the Chicago concert, I was in search of some blog fodder or more permed mullets.  The crowd was surprisingly normal looking....there were a few leather jackets but overall, really...it was normal...and I looked, trust me.

It was mostly men, some kids and a few woman...that all managed to be in line for the bathroom right at the time I needed to go.  That line sucked. 

There was a guy in front of us with horrible split ends and longer hair than his female companion, but it wasn't permed and was too long to be a mullett.

After a few beers I could not force out the images...of the guy...in bed. 

What? 

Does SHE pull HIS hair?  Does she use it like reigns on a horse? 

*neeeeiiighhhhh*

Seriously, blogging minds wanna know.

Mr.FF didn't like the images I was giving as I pretended to grab the guy's hair and make suggestive thrusts with my hips.  I think he gagged a little.

TWSS.

Speaking of images, Mr.FF wiping away imaginary wet spots on his pants because being next to me there made him jizz a little was NOT MUCH better of an image.

Inappropriateness is our middle names.

The couple behind us, which I lovingly named...hey dude she's waaay too cute for you...or I bet you're showing up her other Sugar Daddies up by bringing her here....or not....I couldn't tell if they were a first date...or maybe they were a couple, but a new couple.  Regardless, he was working VERY hard *cough* to convince her of the coolness that is Rush.  He was reciting the lyrics, telling her what album the song was from or why it's such a deep song.  Without turning around too much to oogle her breast their connection I have no clue if she was digging it or rolling her eyes.

Mr.FF leans over at this point and tells me the name of the song.  I'm hooked honey.  I'm hooked. on phonetics

< start mushiness > Mr.FF was in his glory.  This is his all time favorite band.  ALL TIME.  If the girl behind us cared even half as much for her partner, she probably was smiling at him as lovingly as I was to Mr.FF  < / end mushiness >

The crowd was pretty tame and the beer vendor acknowledge just as much as he sold a few more beers WAY after last call.

As I've stated the music was STELLAR...they were in typical rock form, standing behind their mics, not much to SEE on stage, but they did have a big screen behind them for entertainment. 

Of course the venue, United Center, was clean, accessible and well....an awesome place to be no matter what you're doing there.  Buzzing from Rush (the United Center not just me), buzzing from the Bulls being in the playoffs and buzzing for the Blackhawks. 

Cool venue for all your venue-ing needs.

So there you have it, my take on Rush...glad we had the chance to go...and a night out with Mr.FF is always fun. :) 

I wonder what he would have to say about a Justin Timberlake* concert. hmmm. 
But honey, it's on the "bucket list"...you have to go... :)


*no I do NOT have tickets to see Justin...but...maybe...someday...a girl can dream.
