RUSH IN BRAZIL

A few lucky Rush fans got the itiniary of the boys' flight over to Brazil, and met them at the airport and scored. Looks like Alex and Geddy took the same flight, and Neil and his wife took a different flight out of LAX. Most of the information I found was all in Portugese. Luckily, one of our employees' wife is from Brazil, and she translated some of the text from the stories you can read below.

Read about it NOW! I found a website with photos, and I've grabbed some photos and posted them below for you to check out. Check the links below, too.
