Well, it’s nearly here! After the waiting, the Rush Time Machine Tour is due to hit the UK.
Saturday I’m off to Glasgow for the first Rush gig of their UK tour, then it’s a busy week and a half travelling to Sheffield, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, and finally London’s O2.
I’ve deliberately not looked up any footage from the tour – I want it to be new when I see it for the first time.
The tickets have cost me a small fortune (making sure I’m in the first 5 rows at all of them), and I’ll rack up over 1,500 miles travelling! Then there’s the T-shirts and other stuff.
I’ve made sure I have no morning lessons the day after each of Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, and London - but I have scheduled lessons for the mornings of the days I’m travelling to Sheffield and Birmingham. That’s the drawback to being self-employed: there’s no such thing as paid time off!
But it will all be worth it.
