Eater and drinker. Wanderluster. Film and video pro. Rush (the band) nerd. Trying to be a better person every day.

I’m using Apple’s Chambray Blue TechWoven iPhone 18 Pro case on my iPhone 17 Pro right now. It’s a perfect fit.

Ticket prices are brutal. Although I just saw Rush twice in Philly and prices went down considerably as showtime approached. On Saturday, tickets in section 104 were $360. An hour before the show, they were $237.

The classic Queensrÿche lineup was exceptional! Gotta have Chris DeGarmo and Geoff Tate.

Available Light by Rush is probably the best song that they’ve never played live. Awesome lyrics.

Innuendo by Queen is a lot of fun. You can tell that a lot of thought and execution went into placing things around the sound stage.

Without a doubt it would be Moving Pictures. To witness that band at their peak – in the studio, writing and recording one of rock’s iconic records – would be simply incredible.
