AHHHH.. the Post RushCon GLOOM!
The mini - con "Sister Out in Vegas" was a smash success. Over 150 people joined us in our amazing venue at Hooters Hotel for a wonderful day filled with wonderful surprises. Our charity auction brought in over $3000.00 for our new Vegas charity ThreeSquare. We met so many amazing new Rush friends and are so glad we made the choice to bring the con to a new city! We are working on a full convention recap which we will be posting soon.
In the mean time, we had some of our Official RushCon shirts left over and we wanted to make them available to those who couldn't join us (or those of use who have spilled Diet Coke all over theirs...) Please check out the new section on our site where you can by RushCon swag.
We're still looking for as many user submitted photos from the con as we can find. Please post to our Flickr Group so we can share with the world! Email Kristy with any questions.

Alas, another beautiful week in Toronto has come to a close. Thanks to our over 100+ attendees from around the GLOBE who made it a truley special occascion. We had surprise guests, Terry Brown and Donna Halper joined our Friday night boat cruise. And Neil's first drum teacher Don George made an unexpected Sunday appearance! There was serious rock royalty amongst us. Special thanks to Jack Secret, Jacob Moon and Donna Halper for making this weekend really special for us all. Also, thanks to Dean and Chris for displaying the travelling museum exhibit that is Chromey!
We look forward to seeing your pics and reading your tales. We will post an official recap once we start paying attention to our neglected jobs and familes. :)
But up next... VEGAS...
June 28th 2010
RushCon Toronto schedule now posted. Have fun at the first couple Time Machine shows! See you in less than 2 weeks at RushCon!!!
Wow! Not that our Toronto convention won't be amazing, but Vegas is shaping up to be a doozy as well! Much to our happiness, we have learned that both Rush Fan Favorites Porcupine Tree (with Coheed and Cambria) and Primus will be playing shows that bookend RushCon.
Getting in to Vegas early? Join us for a little "pre-convention mixer" on 8/13 at 6:00pm at the Rush Lounge (located at the Golden Nugget) and kick off your weekend. Then catch Porcupine Tree with Coheed and Cambria that night, at The Joint. (Tickets on sale now.) Spend Saturday August 14th at RushCon Vegas at Hooters Hotel, then catch Rush at the MGM Grand at 8:00pm, followed by a special midnight show with Primus at the Hard Rock. (all separate events, with separate admissions of course. Attendees are responsible for all their own concert tickets.) It's a scientific fact, RushCon in Vegas will rock your face off. FACT.
