RUSH - RushCon 8 Update Available
March 21, 2008, 16 years ago
RushIsABand.com reports that there are some more details regarding this summer's RushCon 8.
According to the RushCon website, "RushCon 8 will be held July 8th - 10th, 2008. This is our first midweek convention, due to the Toronto RUSH show being on a Wednesday. Usually it is held over a weekend.
The convention will be held at the Days Hotel & Conference Center - Toronto Downtown at 30 Carlton Street, which has been our official convention hotel and location for several years.
Since this is a midweek convention, we're expecting a slightly smaller crowd. In the past, we have had 150 - 350 ultra-cool Rush fans attend RushCon. RushCon 8 is a great opportunity to meet everyone and feel the family-like experience of RushCon.
We are planning to have the following events:
- Tuesday night: "In the Mood" Mixer - a great place to meet fellow fans, enjoy some hors d'oeuvres, and listen to Rush!- Wednedsay day: Rush-based Games and Charity Auction - fun game show style games give you a chance to win cool Rush prizes, and a Rush memorabilia auction (including autographed items!) benefitting the Daily Bread Food Bank of Toronto. To date, we have raised $40,000 CND for charity!
- Wednesday evening/night: Toronto Harbour boat cruise to the Rush show!
- Thursday day: Rush fans invade the city - we'll have a couple of optional events, exploring Toronto.
