h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I would like to do an entry on this. I need to do some more research about it but I think it's a pretty cool phenomenon and I didn't see any references to it here in the guide so far.
1. Use in studying Global Warming
2. Use in determining what other habitable planets may look like from space (ie the little blue dot)

Plus it's a really brilliant song by Rush.

A Rush fan!?! Surely this must be a joke... I figured I would be the only one here! Just saw the VT Tour twice, once in Montage (horrible venue! worst ever for us poor lawn folks!) and then again in Camden, NJ (rocked unbelievably - I thought I would die)! I didn't notice anything about the band on here - could it be that there is a glaring lack of info on Canada's greatest power trio??

You were at Montage too?!?
Was the sound there completely horrible or am I just getting too old?


I wanted to go to Philly, but it was the same day as my grandmother's 98th birthday. I figured I had to stay at home for that one.

Did they play Bastille Day?

And no Rush entry because it's such a daunting task that I don't want to screw it up...

Yes, the sound was THAT BAD. I've written letters to Montage, Rock 107 and even the Scranton Times but have had no replies... Apparently no one cares about the lawn. The three of us that went were extremely bummed, but the show at the Tweeter was excellent! Just imagine the Montage show run though a high quality filter and add in more lights and energy and screens that worked. Then you'll know what you missed. But fear not, for they are touring again, indoors, in the fall. They hit the First Union Center here in Philly on 10/26.

That date isn't on the official website yet...

Is it for sure? They usually wind up playing a couple of dates in Philly indoors - any chance of that again (open dates around the 26th).

Hungry for more...me?
